When watching movies from smb, if I pause it for a short while and resume everything is fine. But if I pause a video for a long time it causes the NAS drive to sleep/spin down. And when I resume play, kodi just goes to the previous movies menu. It doesnt even attempt to access the network drive(it doesnt spin up again) until i select the movie again from the menu. Any way I can fix this?

Make an advancedsettings.xml file, which is just a plane text file with that name, and put it in your userdata folder (wiki) with the following cut and pasted inside:

Code:
<advancedsettings>
  <samba>
    <clienttimeout>20</clienttimeout>  <!-- timeout (in seconds) -->
  </samba>
</advancedsettings>

and increase the clienttimeout as needed. That should do the trick.
