That's why I asked if you can access your network share from file manager in kodi....could be a SMB issue....what version of LE are you running?

So if you add it as a source in file manager you can access //192.168.178.3/TVrecordings
Not sure if I can help you anymore then sorry
Basically if you can see a folder from Libreelec on your network...you can mount it..
Otherwise someone more technical might help you..
I never managed to mount more the 1 source to the same folder...that's when I got errors similar to yours..

can you access //192.168.178.3/TVrecordings from your Odroid?
In LE 8.1 smb changed a lot and you may need to set it up forcing SMB1 in kodi system settings services...enter the password and save for that path...
-
Might need a restart after enable..
Can you access both folders manually from both machines?
-
Ok make sure you set content on folder ..movies or tv shows

Did you try "systemctl enable storage-recordings.mount"
Assuming you r doing it this way
[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//192.168.178.3/TVrecordings
Where=/storage/recordings
Options=username=tv,password=xxx,rw
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save it in "system.d" as "storage-recordings.mount"
Create a folder in storage name it "recordings"
enable with "systemctl enable storage-recordings.mount"

Can you still access your media if you go to video files?

To access the windows shares you need to have a password protected user account on windows...you can create a second account if you hate entering passwords to access windows like I do...to set it up force smb1 in Kodi settings > services > smb client...then when done go back to none.. in For the router shared drive I have no idea to be honest but you may have few settings to play with on the router's side...username and password may easily be the same ones you use to login your router setting...probably admin for both
Altough needing some setup this new smb update made a massive change to how libreelec handles shares...I used to only see very few of the files I have on shared hdds if any...now it's working perfectly...

This happened also to me while I was trying to boot from a hdd connected to my Rpi2..I have a partition named "STORAGE" formatted to ext4....cmd line is "boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=LABEL=STORAGE quiet"
Got a similar error cannot find storage and sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
Solved...problem was I had the old sd storage still mounted in samba.config...so ended up with a conflict...renamed the new storage partition from storage to storagehdd...changed cmdline and all booted fine to new location

LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.1.0-libcec-3953f8d-fixed-cec.img.gz
8.1.0 + libcec-3953f8d
Thanks working perfectly as usual...Do you have any idea why this fix isn't available in official builts?I v seen on github that it may fix cec for a few and break it for others who have cec working fine...what you think?

You shouldn't change the path for the source to add passwords....leave source as is and passwords in passwords.xml in userdata
<passwords>
<path>
<from pathversion="1">smb://192.168.1.5/TVShows/</from>
<to pathversion="1">smb://username:[email protected]/TVShows/</to>
</path>
</passwords>
If you want kodi to create the passwords.xml on it's own go to settings---services---smb settings and change samba setting from "none" to "smb1"
Restart...Then go to file manager add source and browse to any location of the new user account you created..give it a name and save...Go back to smb settings on kodi and change back to none and restart again...now go back to file manager and try to access your new source...kodi will ask for username and password....input them and tick "save for this path"...that's it...now you should have the passwords.xml in userdata

GaryB used the S8050..I used that 1 too and is working fine..
-
Look at /etc/hosts.
This is how /etc/hosts looks like but WOL doesnt work for some reason
It only works if I change source to IP address but not by hostname...I m using Rpi 2
EDIT: Never mind it's working fine now...

Back for some more help...
Ok so now I managed to access Libreelec from PC and Vice versa with SMB set to none working still but I m noticing a small hickup when trying to access my PC from Libreelec while PC is sleeping..
I have wakeonlan enabled...Pc network set to wakeup PC,,wakeonlan.xml on libreelec set but it's only working when I change the source address and wakeonlan.xml to IP instead of host name..
I understand that there is hosts.config to map ip address to host but not sure how to edit this
I tryed adding these lines to hosts.config first as shown below ,and then with arrows but none seemed to work...
try 1: 192.168.0.9 MARIO-DESKTOP
try 2: <192.168.0.9> <MARIO-DESKTOP>

Read the 8.1.0 announcement, in particular the section "!!! SAMBA UPDATE – IMPORTANT !!!" (third bullet point).
Not if you're forcing SMB1.
If you haven't already setup your smb:// sources then you'll need to enable SMB1 on your server (and force Kodi to make only SMB1 connections), then set up your sources in Kodi using network browsing (if available). If network browsing no longer works (which is possible, depending on your server, Samba4 in LibreELEC, and the way the wind is blowing), then you'll just have to add network locations manually in Kodi (leave the username/password blank - add this when prompted on first access, saved in passwords.xml), then add your sources.
Once your sources are all configured, disable SMB1 on your server, configure SMB in Kodi as "None" (ie. auto-negotiate, which should mean SMB3 or maybe SMB2, depending on your server).
Thanks...very clear explanation and everything working as it should...
In short....add new sources with force SMB 1..."save password for this path" ticked and after that back to force smb to "None" and source is still coming up

Well 1 problem solved..that is accessing Libreelec from Windows 10..
Now I cannot access windows 10 from Libreelec...
I did create a new user account on Windows 10....made it password protected and shared a folder with everyone..
Now when I go to file manager in kodi on rpi2 to add source and browse to SMB..there is absolutely nothing in there...not even my other Libreelec laptop..
Tryed the new smb settings in services from None to smb3 and restarter each time and still nothing..
This is on the latest 8.1.0
Update:
I can access windows 10 and PC if I force SMB V1 but not 2 and 3
Zeroconf also working to access other Libreelec and Windows 10 Creators..
Should the SMB V2 and V3 be working for me?

You cannot turn those 2 pins off while there is power to the raspberry pi..
The only solution would be either a switch for the fan or else you'll have to connect a transistor or relay switch to one of the GPIO to control the fan...I just done mine and is fairly easy...thanks to help I found on the forum..Fan goes on when a set temp is reached...and goes off when minimum temp is reached....never goes on when rpi is on standbye
