I am using XBMC 12.2 with MySQL as my database. I am using path substitution to share my Thumbnails/Fanart as some of my clients have limited hard drive space. The MySQL server is on a different computer from the XBMC clients. Some of my media is on the MySQL server and some are on different client machines. When a media source is not able to be accessed i.g. the computer is off XBMC hangs when you try to open it. It never reaches the "home" screen. A recommendation would be to allow XBMC to open even if sources are not avaiable but to notify the user that the sources are not available. Many times you want to access Internet content not specific media sources. Since XBMC is hanging you can not even access the Internet content. This would also allow you to use the add-on Advanced WOL to boot systems that have WOL capability. I am not sure if this is a bug or just the way XBMC works. I just thought I would point this out and maybe something could be done to solve this issue.
Thank you.
