Apparently I'm not using the proper search terms... Do I need to edit the guisettings.xml or something to make Kodi start up with in an SMB share on my NAS? I'm also thinking about using different sources once I've started using profiles. Thx!

I really don't know how else to put this. Kodi's startup window is set to "Videos", so upon boot I see
Videos
- Files
- Playlists
- Video-Addons
So I have to click on Files to get
Videos: Files
..
Dad
Add videos...
where I have to click on 'Dad' to see what's inside smb://Dad/Public/Shared Videos/, which is the 4 folders (I'm not using the library functionality)
Documentaries
Movies
Music
TV Shows.
Instead of having to klick twice to get there I would like to start here right away. When I change 'FileManager' to 'Videos', I'm getting 'invalid argument' though.

That did the trick! I had to enter username/password after my first reboot despite having already entered and set it to be remembered for this path when I initially added the source.
Still, it works just fine now. Thanks a lot!

So, I'm back at this since I've replaced my Dad's Odroid with a Xoro that boots LibreELEC from SD Card. I've copied over the configuration but somehow entering that directory automatically at startup does not work anymore.
autoexe.py reads:
xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(Videos,"smb://Dad/Public/Shared Videos",return)')
but the log says:
Unable to open directory : 'smb://USERNAME: PASSWORD@Dad/Public/Shared Videos"
despite the fact that passwords.xml reads:
<from pathversion="1">smb://Dad/Public</from>
<to pathversion="1">smb://tecc:tecc@Dad/Public/Shared Videos/</to>
Also, when I click OK on the initial error message I can enter this directory just fine without having to type my pw. Still, I've changed
autoexe.py to
xbmc.executebuiltin('ActivateWindow(Videos,"smb://tecc:tecc@Dad/Public/Shared Videos",return)')
but it still doesn't work. Could this be related to the network not being fast enough or something? When the screen comes up the time in the upper right corner says 1:00 and only after some seconds ht time is retrieved from ntp.org. Any ideas?
