Thanks for your speedy reply Kricker,
I have been thinking about this all day and had put a plan of action together based on your suggestions.
I don't know if I am seeing bugs here with RC1 or its to do with my setup.
Firstly I had the default select action set to Show information in Video Settings/Library/File lists. With this set pressing on a movie in file mode produced the info with a press in library mode nothing happens. If you change the default action to Choose, play and more work but again Show information does not.
Next I attempted to clear the library using the method you suggest, which I had done previously and the library was staying intact. It wasnt until I disconected the share physically that the library cleared correctly. I removed all but the MKV's from there folders and rescanned and guess what happened those funny bits of art reappeared, are they being held in some sort of cache. When you then press on show info and press get thumb the window opens but the program makes no atempt to show remote thumb.
If you then click on play after doing that you get "This file is no longer available. Would you like to remove it from the library?"
Havnt given up yet but I feel as if I am going round in circles, please bear in mind that none of this happens if the files are on the drives of the machine that XBMC is on, it is only when they are on remote shares.
It would seem that there is nothing in the nfo files that points to file paths anyway. and the other items are just images.
Just repeated above with a complete erase of the Appdata\Roaming\XBMC folder same behaviour as above.
