Video Library does not work

[mk01]

very good point ! exactly as you say.

xbmc is creating buffers for local and network sources. by default, for "local" almost no buffers (as most of the time there is local fs cache on fs level) and up to xMB for network.

those settings should be in guisetting.xml.

and to be honest, I use the xbmc own access as well. from simple reason, with network shared sources.xml and mediasources.xml, its much more simpler global / shared access from more XBMC installations in the network. It would be possible to configure with shared mounts (the same for all) via autofs, automount, but this is quite different per platform. but xbmc's sources.xml are the same over all supported platforms.
