I want to stream an Blu Ray images over my network using SMB-mounts.
This works normally if I do a smb-mount on the OS-level and let XBMC look to the directory as if it were a normal local directory. (which is a workable work-around, except that for some spiffy reason my smb-mount seems to be closed after a certain amount of 'idle-time' (I'm looking into the reason of that also, but that is seperate from the stuff below))
If I let XBMC make the SMB-mount for me, the script eventually times out (it can't find the stream?). I can play normal DVD-ISO-files on the same share, and also Blu-ray m2ts or mkv-files.
I haven't done much more testing than this, but I think maybe that the makemkv-executable isn't able to access the SMB-share (and so the script can't read the stream). Is this something which can be fixed, or is this inherent to how XBMC uses it's scripting engine.
