I was running Kodi 16 on OpenElec. I edited the samba.conf file back then and had access to the .kodi folder via windows at that point. I upgraded to version 17.1 with LibreElec and everything worked great. Decided over the weekend to upgrade my Kodi installs to 17.4 Upgrade went smooth but I noticed after I was unable to access .kodi folder in windows anymore.
I checked my storage/.config/samba.conf file and it looks like below.
[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
[storage]
path = /storage
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
As far as the above config. I am not even sure I need any of the stuff in the general section. I think I grabbed that elsewhere and just kept it. However The storage share should be viewable and i should see the hidden directories but i cannot.
Then I went into storage/.smb and viewed that file and it looks like this
[global]
preferred master = no
local master = no
domain master = no
client lanman auth = yes
lanman auth = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
lock directory = /storage/.smb/
name resolve order = bcast host
should I see the storage share in here? Or is this normal. Anyway I just want to view all the hidden directories within windows and it worked before I upgraded to the latest version of libreelec. Right now the only folders I see if i unc (\\libreelec) is
