I saw that and checked the end tags. There's nothing wrong with them. They're preceded by / and enclosed in less than and greater than symbols as they should be.

Would path to my external HDD be - path= /media/sde1/1.MacDOCS ?
To what does sde1 refer?
(2020-03-03, 16:45)ds_tx Wrote: No, the hardware is Odroid N2 CoreELEC, not Apple MAC.Yeah, I know what your hardware is.
CoreELEC is the OS, and Kodi is embedded (I suppose you could say) in/with the CoreELEC OS.
Mac has nothing to do with it.
1.MacDOCS is external HDD connected to Odroid N2 CoreELEC.
Everything works fine on my MAC install of Kodi - that's why I said issue is not with Kodi on Mac.
Issue is with Kodi running on CoreELEC with Odroid N2 hardware (an SBC - single board computer).
In Configfiles folder on CoreELEC, there is a samba.conf.sample, but no smb.conf file.
Samba was originally smb server but name was changed (See Google)
In Configfiles > system.d - there is also a nfs.mount.sample
