Yes you correctly configured the autofs (good job) but now you need to also change your sources from the smb ones to the root filesystem ones 
/mnt/readynas/media/videos
/mnt/dune/0e8c9ea8_f96d_4822_9c2a_7d66219e9baa/videos
/mnt/tng/4k
fzinken thanks, where do i do this ? and i have to delete my sources in the Vero 4k it self ?
Via “Add Source” as you do before.
Well you can keep them for the time being if you name the new sources differently so you know how to find the new one for testing
so in teh vero through file manager than add source or media/library/videos because i think i will see teh same as i did before ( sorry if i’m stupid 
Yes either via file manager or Videos - Files, Add Source than choose root filesystem instead of network source
do i have to reboot when i did this because when i want to browse it i get the messag path not found or invalid
Did you tried on the command line (putty) if your autofs mount was successful (browse the directories)?
this is really the first time i use putty , sorry for so many questions, how do i do that ?
can you do something with this ?

Reboot just to be safe and then try:
cd /mnt/readynas/media/videos
you only need to use the automount command when doing the initial setup if you were having problems.
an where do i do this ?
cd /mnt/readynas/media/videos
You do it from Putty, just like any other command you would run on the Vero command line.
-bash: cd: /mnt/readynas/media/videos: no such file or directory
We will need to see the content of your autofs setup files. Please paste the content here so we can be sure that they look good.
/mnt/readynas/media/videos -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/home/osmc/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.178.10/media/videos
/mnt/dune/0e8c9ea8_f96d_4822_9c2a_7d66219e9baa/videos -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/home/osmc/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.178.3/0e8c9ea8_f96d_4822_9c2a_7d66219e9baa/videos
/mnt/tng/4k -fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/home/osmc/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.178.15/4k
also did this nano ~/.smbcredentials
and add
username=…
password=…
Any reason why you used SMB instead of NFS? NFS will perform better.
I have to step away from the computer for about an hour. If no one else picks up on this, we will do more troubleshooting when I get back.
ok thank you no hurry , can also try nfs
Yea, try NFS while I’m gone and let us know how that goes. If it doesn’t work we will try again when I get back.
did this i think it is correct …
sudo nano /etc/auto.nfs.shares
/mnt/readynas/media/videos 192.168.178.10:/media/videos
/mnt/dune/0e8c9ea8_f96d_4822_9c2a_7d66219e9baa/videos 192.168.178.16:/0e8c9ea8_f96d_4822_9c2a_7d66219e9baa/videos
/mnt/tng/4k 192.168.178.15:/4k
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl restart autofs
osmc@osmc:~$ ls -lah /mnt/tng/4k
ls: cannot open directory ‘/mnt/tng/4k’: No such file or directory 
After changing to NFS, did you:
sudo systemctl restart autofs
After doing if it still is not working, we need to see more detail of what’s happening. To do this you will need 2 putty connections to the Vero.
In the first connection:
sudo systemctl stop autofs
sudo automount -f -v -d
And in the second connection:
ls -lah /mnt/tng/4k
Then paste the output from the first window (the one with automount running).
