Editing Shares via SSH

Hi my Pi 4 has been running fine with LibreELEC doing it's stuff without too much attention from me. My problem is some of my Network shares have changed, server names either obsolete or replaced. When LibreELEC tries to refresh it shows error message on the Screen, for the life of me, I can not find out a < your shares are listed here folder > so I thought there has to be some way to access it via SSH.

I looked at;

RE: SMB sharing not working at all

I gave up on "browsing" aeons ago. It just takes a little effort to configure shares; personally I edit /storage/.kodi/usersdata/sources.xml as the format it simple and typing smb://user:pass@SERVER/SHARE is easier on a keyboad via SSH than using a remote in the GUI. SMB2/3 file sharing works fine in Kodi so there's really no need to downgrade things to SMB1.

I can login is root but I can not see an xml file /storage/.kodi/usersdata/sources.xml nor can I see that folder structure.

cd /storage

-----------------------------------------------

LibreELEC:~ # cd storage

-sh: cd: can't cd to storage: No such file or directory

-----------------------------------------------

It would make my life a lot easier simply to open a config file and edit it via ssh in this instance.

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong or where to look for the answers?

After blundering around a bit I beleive I've found an accurate location

Cannot connect to my Music & Video folders on my NAS - General Support - LibreELEC Forum

I'll check it out shortly. but seems to look like it.

Later time permitting

Oh how embarrassing I think I did a fou pa by dropping the l in xml

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xm

nano /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml

Thanks for getting back soo quickly much appreciated, I have noticed something, and not 100% sure of the correct syntax so don't want to muck it up.

in the .kodi/userdata/

the file

favourites.xml

Still shows one of the missing servers in the multipath string, I'm thought they might be ASCII characters but now I'm not sure are replaceing : or @ but when i look up those the ASCII isn't the same i

<favourite name="myStuff">ActivateWindow(10025,&WCF_AMPERSAND"multipath://smb%3a%2f%2f<servername>.local%2f<folder>/smb%3a%2f%2f<servername2>.local%2f<folder2>/&WCF_AMPERSAND",return) </favourite>

So not sure what the

%3a

or

%2f

Are in the real world or the escape character is

Also not sure what other xml files would need to be modified? If you have suggestions.

I did a rebuild of the SD card and I now have the Raspberry pi connected Keyboard and Mouse to my Monitor, making a whole lot more sense, this way.
