Not only does it not work for samba shares but doesn't work for NFS shares 
either.  I'm running IceFilms 1.1.37.  If you mount an NFS share to a local 
directory this works just fine.

I've just tried it using AFP and that doesn't work either.

you have to mount the smb share either manually or in fstab

e.g.

mkdir /media/downloads
mount -t cifs -o 
user=username,password=password,rw,hard,nosetuids,noperm,sec=ntlm,rsize=65536 
//Your-SMB-Share/Path /media/downloads

(depending on your system ,you may have to use SUDO )

now edit the download path to be RootFS -> media -> downloads  

(sometimes ice films will save your download as ".avi" , which is not visible 
from Mac OS ,
until you force Mac OS to show hidden files, shouldn't be the case on windows)
