adding .kodi to samba share / samba.conf

nowe It might depend where you did that change. Which file did you edit?

IIRC you don´t have write access to /package/network/samba/config/smb.conf

Instead you should edit: /storage/.config/samba.conf.sample

rename (mv) it to: /storage/.config/samba.conf

and do the changes in there. The samba.conf in .config will be recognized as well at boot.
