in the last release 0.9.7-beta1 it is mentioned that retroarch as well as AEL now also supports Samba. Can someone explain to me how I configure it?
Have in the Kodi an SMB source with the Roms furnished. If I select this source, so Rom directory, no Roms are found.
RPI3 LibreElec 8.1.2
Gamestarter 3.0.0
Thanks

Currently is it only documented in the changelog, which I reproduce here for convenience.
Code:
FEATURE ROMs in UNC paths. It seems Retroarch added UNC path support recently.
See https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=287826&pid=2647152#pid2647152
[Windows]
Workaround in _run_process() to add an extra '\\' character if argument starts with
a '\\'. This is to fix shlex.split() behaviour.
Tested in Windows only with the following configuration:
<ROM_path>\\SERVER_NAME\AEL-ROMs\sega-genesis\</ROM_path>
<ROM_asset_path>smb://SERVER_NAME/AEL-assets/sega-genesis/</ROM_asset_path>
This configuration also works in Windows:
<ROM_path>smb://SERVER_NAME/AEL-ROMs/sega-genesis/</ROM_path>
<ROM_asset_path>smb://SERVER_NAME/AEL-assets/sega-genesis/</ROM_asset_path>
Artwork is stored in JSON DB as "smb://SERVER_NAME/AEL-assets/sega-genesis/boxbacks\\Sonic.jpg"
ROMs are saved in JSON DB as "\\\\SERVER_NAME\\AEL-ROMs\\sega-genesis\\Sonic.md"
Kodi artwork does not work with paths like \\SERVER_NAME\AEL-ROMs\sega-genesis\image.png.
Correct path for artwork is smb://SERVER_NAME/AEL-ROMs/sega-genesis/image.png.
Retroarch requires a ROM path like \\SERVER_NAME\AEL-ROMs\sega-genesis\Sonic.md.
If problem persists I need you to generate an AEL debug log. You have instructions on the first post about how to get it.
