Accessing hidden .kodi Directory on LibreElec - hewligun - 2017-10-16
I moved my openelec install over to libreelec for kodi 17. When I did that my editing of the samba.conf file worked fine and I could access over windows the .kodi folder. Over the weekend I upgraded libreelec to 17.4 and now it no longer allows me to see that folder in windows. When I check the samba.conf file I do see this
[storage]
path = /storage
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
Am I missing something? did it change with the newer versions to browse to the folder?
Here is my global below. Not sure I even need the global in it.
[global]
server string = LibreELEC
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = %h
security = share
guest account = root
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
smb ports = 445
max protocol = SMB2
min receivefile size = 16384
deadtime = 30
os level = 20
mangled names = no
syslog only = yes
syslog = 2
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
printcap name = /dev/null
load printers = no
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
printable = no
encrypt passwords = true
enable core files = no
passdb backend = smbpasswd
smb encrypt = disabled
use sendfile = yes

It depends which subfolder from .kodi you need. The folder .kodi itself is hidden, and can only be accessed via SSH.
For SMB matters, enable the SMBv1 in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on in case of an emergency. SMBv2 is now the default setting.

You missed this in the announcement:
Quote:Samba detects v3 /storage/.config/samba.conf configurations and ignores them to avoid the Samba service failing on startup. If this happens Samba starts with a default v4 configuration. Custom Samba configurations must be updated to use the new Samba 4.x base template (samba.conf.sample).
Copy the new samba.conf.sample to samba.conf then add your [storage] share to the end of samba.conf.

So I edited the sample file and added the storage to the bottom and rebooted but it still is not working.

You don't edit the sample file, you copy it to your new samba.conf and edit samba.conf.

Sorry that is what I meant. used WinSCP and copied it then renamed it to samba.conf and added this at the end
[storage]
path = /storage
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
root preexec = mkdir -p /storage
then i copied it back and rebooted. I am not sure if i need the root prexec at the end but all the others in the sample had it.

I got it working. For whatever reason removing the other directories and just making the storage one fixed it. Thanks for the help!
