Just starting to use this script and have few questions after skimming this thread. Thanks in advance.

The streaming section when using a linux box. How should it be set? I tried several variations

<streaming>/OnlineTv</streaming>
<LinuxSambaPrefix>smb://192.168.1.3/Media</LinuxSambaPrefix>

This created a the Folder "OnlineTv" on the root of the Linux Box with the streams files in each of their respected folders (Generic, TvShows and Movies). totally ignoring the prefix.

<streaming>/Media/OnlineTv</streaming>
<LinuxSambaPrefix>smb://192.168.1.3</LinuxSambaPrefix>

This generated errors and also seem to ignore the Prefix.

Using a the users "~" home path shortcut also generated errors

Since I already had link to the Mounted SMB share and after testing a few others I used the full user path without a "SMB://" prefix and without.

<streaming>/home/xbmc/Media/OnlineTv</streaming>
<LinuxSambaPrefix></LinuxSambaPrefix>


So my question is Why use <LinuxSambaPrefix> ?

Also. is there a method to store the streams with the same directory structure as they retrieved from each plugin or be allowed to modified the saved directory for each source?

as in my example save the hulu Popular feature films to the streaming directory with the hulu sub directory
"/home/xbmc/Media/OnlineTv/Movies/Hulu/Movies/Popular Movies/Popular feature films" ?
