Does anyone know where/how i can resolve this? On boot VidoeoInfoScanner tries to process my TV Shows folder with this result:
07:32:19 T:139935260600064 NOTICE: VideoInfoScanner: Starting scan ..
07:32:19 T:139935260600064 WARNING: Process directory '/var/media/TOSHIBA EXT/TV Shows/' does not exist - skipping scan.
But the folder does exist and this appears to be a problem with spaces in the folder names. From the command line interface, I can tab out the path, ie:
LibreELEC:~ # ls /var/media/TOSHIBA\ EXT/TV\ Shows/
and of course if tried this, it fails:
LibreELEC:~ # ls /var/media/TOSHIBA EXT/TV Shows/
ls: /var/media/TOSHIBA: No such file or directory
ls: EXT/TV: No such file or directory
ls: Shows/: No such file or directory
Can I change the path(s) somewhere in Kodi and add the appropriate escapes?

Found what works for me and that is to edit /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml, adding escapes to the paths with spaces, eg changing:
<source>
<name>TV Shows</name>
<path pathversion="1">/var/media/TOSHIBA EXT/TV Shows/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>
to:
<source>
<name>TV Shows</name>
<path pathversion="1">/var/media/TOSHIBA\ EXT/TV\ Shows/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>
It's odd that actual TV show names containing spaces appear to be processed, so this might be a linux platform bug - don't have a Windows machine but afaik spaces in paths are never a problem on WIN platform. Also not sure whether it matters that the device being referenced (TOSHIBA\ EXT) is a USB attached external drive formatted as ntfs.
