Accessing /.kodi/addons folder with samba?

asplundj · November 2, 2017 at 8:06 AM

I wonder if there's any changes I can make so that I can access this /.kodi/addons folder with samba? Currently I can access the userdata folder and my usb drive. I have one addon that I frequently have to manually edit files in (beta testing etc).

Add new samba share like this

Code

[kodi_addons]
path = /storage/.kodi/addons
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

or even for whole .kodi folder

Code

[kodi]
path = /storage/.kodi
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

Sorry to hijack.

How or where do I add below code in samba? Can I migrate the code before compiling to img? Thanks

You put in the samba.conf file in the configfiles folder

Is this correct? Thanks

Add below code to ---> packages/network/samba/config/smb.conf

Code

[kodi]
  path = /storage/.kodi
  available = yes
  browsable = yes
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  root preexec = mkdir -p /storage/.kodi
