Currently I connect to my unraid shares in OSX via finder prior to starting XBMC, which creates folders in /Volumes. I then add folders in /Volumes as sources in XBMC.
This means that I have to connect to the server before starting XBMC or my files will not be available (as there will be nothing in /Volumes). I've therefore got these connections in login items so they get connected on boot.
I notice that in the add sources options I can explicitly adde a SMB share. If I do it that way does it mean that XBMC will handle the connecting etc and so even if I've not connected to my shares before starting XBMC, XBMC will then do it for me when I try to access my library?
If so then this seems like a better way to do things. Am I right?
Cheers!
