[QUOTE="gibman, post: 383686, member: 25430"] I debugged the latest plugin code and found the culprit. in dbbase.cs; method: getRandomBanner () we call; randImage = Helper.PathCombine(Settings.GetPath(Settings.Path.banners), randImage); randImage is "\\\\server\\E\\install\\_Movie\\DVB\\software players\\mediaportal\\shared\\Thumbs\\MPTVSeriesBanners\\Heroes\\-langen-graphical/79501-g16.jpg" after the call to ; Helper.PathCombine, randImage now looks a bit different. double backslashes stripped away. "\\server\\E\\install\\_Movie\\DVB\\software players\\mediaportal\\shared\\Thumbs\\MPTVSeriesBanners\\Heroes\\-langen-graphical/79501-g16.jpg" This makes the call to System.IO.File.Exists(randImage) return false. This is the reason as to why I dont see any season banners. If I avoid calling Helper.PathCombine, then all is good. I guess the fix should be done in the "Helper.PathCombine" method. It should support UNC paths without stripping away too many back slashes :) my mediaportaldirs.xml is; <Dir id = "Database"> <Path>\\server\E\install\_Movie\DVB\software players\mediaportal\shared\Database\</Path> .... /gibman [/QUOTE]
