You can use path substitution to relocate your Thumbnails folder to the network - that's supported - just don't share one Thumbnails folder between multiple clients, because that's not supported.

Are you sure about that statement?
I have been sharing one thumbnail directory for years now..due to the limitation of the internal memory on the Android Boxs..

Code:

    <pathsubstitution>
     <substitute>
      <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
      <to>smb://192.168.1.193/Thumbs/</to>
     </substitute>
    </pathsubstitution>

This works for me and most skins I use..
I think I did a scrape many moons ago and got fanart, thumbs and have been working with this for some time..

Then once we get a new box or tablet just load the settings into it and bam..
Its usually up and running within a few minutes..

So unless some thing has changed and or I am reading that statement wrong?
