Can't Add /storage or /storage/.kodi/ Folders to SMB shares after 8.1.2 Update

Hi guys,

I noticed that after installing LibreElec's update 8.1.2, I lost access to these two folders that I had previously added to the samba.conf file:

/storage

/storage/.kodi/

I immediately checked my samba.conf file (/storage/.config/samba.conf) and these two locations are still there as follows:

[Storage]

path = /storage

available = yes

browsable = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

root preexec = mkdir -p /storage

[Kodi]

path = /storage/.kodi

available = yes

browsable = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi

Can someone please advise, what am I missing?

AFAIK you need to remake your samba.conf from samba.conf.sample, so it includes the latest changes.

Great, thank you! To be sure I understood correctly,

1. I will add these two location to samba.conf.sample

2. delete original samba.conf

3. rename samba.conf.sample to samba.conf

4. reboot

That's how I understand it. I haven't got around to updating yet.

Thank you sir. Will do this when I get home today and will confirm results.

Confirmed. Performing above solved my issue. Thank you.
