I recently did a fresh install to 9.11 alpha 2 using the live CD to an Acer Aspire. When I try to import my movies over a mounted samba share to ~/Videos I'm not able to get the TV shows to import to the library. My TV show directory structure is <Show Name>/<Season #>/SxEE - <Title>/SxEE - <Title>.ext.
I previously was running alpha 1 and used the Network configuration in XBMC to set my default smb user/password and browse using the built in XBMC method. Coincidentally I had some issues when watching a video for longer then 5-10 minutes and a bit of reading on these forums said that mounting is more reliable. So, no I have the share mounted locally but I can't get anything to import. I chalked it up as a TheTVDB.com issue the first time and did another fresh install and got the same result. Any idea why my shows aren't importing? I pick the scan option, and scan at launch. The first time it looks like it's importing something but the library never populates.
Bonus question!: How can I wipe all my settings and library without reinstalling.
Bonus question #2!: What's the "best" method for accessing data on a Linux box? Samba has a somewhat hefty overhead and seems to be unreliable in some circumstances. What kind of share is best? Assume 1080p content.
