Some subfolders on a mounted share inaccessible

Did you tried squash_all_users and restarting NAS and Vero?

Yes, but it didn’t make a difference unfortunately.

@fzinken

Alternative you could try to add -fstype=nfs4,uid=1000,gid=1000 in your autofs file between the mountpoint and the server IP.

Thanks, I’ll give that a go and see if it works

I don’t use LibreElec but a quick search indicates that the default SSH logon is to root, so perhaps all processes run as root. I hope someone else can confirm / deny this hypothesis. If LibreElec processes run as root, that would explain why you have no problem accessing the files from LE. By contrast, on OSMC Kodi runs under the user “osmc” (UID 1000, GID 1000)

I also don’t have any experience of QNAP – or Synology, for that matter – but I noticed that you have set Guest Access Rights to “Deny Access”. Did you ever try “Read Only” or something the that effect?

AFAICT, you should be able to SSH to your QNAP box, since it’s a Linux-based device. So try to logon and run these commands:

exportfs -v
ls -la /Multimedia
ls -la "/Multimedia/TV Shows"
cat /etc/passwd

(Please copy/paste the results, rather than providing a screenshot.)

Edit: to comment on this bit:

@aff13

the workaround would be to move all files from “TV Teens” to “TV Teens TEST” and rename the latter folder

Don’t forget to first rename the original “TV Teens” to “TV Teens OLD” (or something along those lines). As far as OSMC is concerned, this should work without the need to resort to path substitution. (Remember to reboot both devices.) However, I guess there’s always a risk that it might adversely affect the QNAP user interface,

Anyway, the workaround would be to move all files from “TV Teens” to “TV Teens TEST” and rename the latter folder. That would destroy the Kodi libraries on my other machines (LibreElec and Windows) and would require a lot of additional rescanning, which is far from ideal, but as of now I don’t have any other ideas…

I don’t have an opinion on if that is the way to go but just to throw in a FYI regarding moving sources…

[HowTo] Repairing File Paths with Path Substitution

This guide is intended only as a more in depth instruction for manipulating file paths either for broken links or performance modification. For other applications of path substitution you can consult Kodi’s wiki on the subject. At its core, path substitution is a simple concept. You are simply adding <from> and <to> tags to an advancedsettings.xml file that specify a part of a file path that will get replaced, and the new path that will be replacing it. Kodi will use this whenever it is trying …

That could be a good explanation and that would also explain why now change to squash_all_users doesn’t make a difference. So only solution there is set squash_all_users (at which time it should also not be accessable from LibreElec) and then onetime change the user of the folder directly on QNAP from root.
