Description

report 1:
If I have to restart my computer which has SMB shares for Boxee Box, they will disconnect. That's normal.
The problem is when my computer comes back from the restart, the SMB shares will NOT reconnect. I even tried rescanning the source manually or going to the network and trying to go in those sources and it does not work.
I think Boxee Box should check if the SMB shares are back online once they are detected as disconnected. I don't think I should reboot the Boxee Box just for that.

report 2:
Cannot connect to network folders if box boots up in disconnected state and connection is restored
If box has no network connectivity when booting up, network drives appear offline even after network connectivity is restored, until the box is rebooted.

I can confirm this issue. However, initiating a rescan works for me. I believe is an important bug that needs to be resolved because I don't want to have rescan whenever I restart my media server that's running SMB.

I noticed that if I reboot at night etc and go to Boxee Box in the morning, it's all fine so it does in fact seem to be recovering from the disconnected drives, although I am not sure after how much time. Will check and let you know

this is an issue for me again with 1.1.0.19036 - network shares are shown as connected in the local sources menu, but when trying to play from them it says the source is not connected, should I create another bug entry?
