How to copy favorites between osmc builds?

Help and Support

Hey! It started working… What was the issue? idk… it started to work all of a sudden when I checked today… I’m using:

<pathsubstitution>
    <substitute>
        <from>special://profile/favourites.xml</from>
        <to>/media/mars/favourites.xml</to>
    </substitute>
</pathsubstitution>

So this is now working fine for the device where the external hard-drive is connected.

Now, I’m trying to get it to work with the smb shared folder. Looking into your example, I would say my path should be

        <to>smb://WATERFORD/mars/favourites.xml</to>

I tried the following as well to follow the exact path @nrosier did, and it didn’t work either:

        <to>smb://WATERFORD:/mars/favourites.xml</to>

But it doesn’t work. I mean, it works in a way - it returns 0 favourites which tells me the local ones were replaced, but it’s not replacing with anything, so it’s not liking the path I provided. Any idea how to use a smb path here anyone? Do I have to configure something with the smb before? I assume it’s working fine as I can access files within osmc kodi file navigation, but I don’t know if something else is required…
