Import roms via SMB #8

Closed flutejoust closed 2 years ago

flutejoust commented 2 years ago

I’ve been trying to use this feature:

Use remote location (e.g. SMB) as roms folder. Remote path to be as follows //server_IP/path_to_roms_folder

Sorry if I’m missing something obvious, but how do I get it to work? I can’t find a setting to enable it, and I’m wary of messing with the cfg without knowing what I’m doing.

Thanks!

Hi, no need to modify any cfg file. You just go to the addon settings within kodi, under "Paths" submenu, turn on "Mount remote path for RetroArch ROMs", and set user, password and remote path as in the example above. If everything worked, remote path will be mounted as /storage/roms and automatically loaded in retroach as default roms folder.
