Hi

I've been looking at creating a mount point in OpenElec, so I can stop using the SMB://WHS/MUSIC path in the Artist SlideShow -> Local Artist Folder setting.

As when I use an SMB:// path the "Use Local Images First" and "Use Both Local and Remote Images" options do not work and do not display local images, as we have already discussed.

So as a test I just ran this command in SSH terminal:

mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=pass,rw //192.168.1.100/music /storage/music

that LAN IP being the WHS file server. So now I can add this new path in to the Artist SlideShow settings e.g.

/STORAGE/MUSIC instead of SMB://WHS/MUSIC



And now the option "Use Both Local and Remote Images" is working, where my local fanart images are, for the first time now being displayed by Artist SlideShow.

So far so good, however after playing an artist in XBMC if I look in their extrafanart folder on the file server I am now seeing additional files generated by Artist SlideShow being stored there.



For this particular artist I am playing, these .tbn files and the _exclusions.nfo file are normally found locally on the HTPC in the folder:

/storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.artistslideshow/ArtistSlideshow/9711592d

So my question is, since changing the "Local Artist Folder" path to my new mount point of /Storage/Music why are these .tbn files and the _exclusions.nfo now being saved in the artists extrafanart sub-folder on the WHS file server ?

Many thanks

EDIT: Maybe its to do with the rw (read / write) in the mount command I used?
