@Rob/@NEOhidra: I too agree that your solution is having your themes in the sub-folder 'Themes'. As Rob said, this is the option for users with multiple profiles. Now if you add the 'need for speed' factor into the equation perhaps several things could be improved, even your network or share. Nonetheless, if you are willing to try the following (still using certain beautiful TvTunes features) and see whether you can obtain faster access times than what you are currently getting from the share whilst playing the themes, then it could be a viable option, however only if you can put a little bit of manual work in place, otherwise please dismiss my suggestion:
1) Use 'Support themes in sub directories' in TvTunes settings. This will progressively go downloading and saving your newly fetched themes inside the correct 'themes' folders of every movie/tv shows/music video folder, regardless of the XBMC user profile you are working on (this will avoid duplications like you see happening with combo 'multiple profiles/custom paths')
2) Every time you have a movie with the themes you want, move these themes to a location in your faster SSD.
3) Use the tvtunes.nfo capabilities to tell TvTunes where to go find the themes to play and play them.
If you tested this with a couple of movies and saw it could become an option for people wanting to have faster access times whilst avoiding theme storage/fetch duplication, please let us know.
