Better SMB timeout handling #656

This is one bug I have noticed recently. On my desktop where I have all my
Mplayer-CE accessed shares, they are all on drives that have the idle
spindown power management turned on.

When they are off and Mplayer-CE attempts to access them it will go through
the motions of waiting while the drive spins up and every time it will be
long enough that M-CE will end up either getting a blank root folder or
just a few items of the root of the share listed and not go any farther. I
think I even recall (though I'm not 100%) that if a playable media file was
shown and attempted to play, M-CE would crash on that.

I have not found out a way to have M-CE reload the share without restarting
so the only fix I know of currently is to exit M-CE and re-run it. If I do
that and within the timeframe of the drive(s) being spun down again, M-CE
can use those shares just fine.

Not a HUGE issue but a moderate annoyance.
