I've followed the SIO video on Root Share. I'm getting it added to Windows as a network drive under SMB, but when it's opened it is blank, just acting as a 'normal' empty share. SMB Extra config is this so I don't think I've missed anything from the video. 6.9.2.

Anything I've missed? xxxx is obvs my username. I've seen other people with this issue but nothing replied.

I've worked this out. I had created a share to 'use' as the root share in the share tab. But this makes it look at mnt/user/Media instead of just /mnt/user.
Deleting the manually created share and just sticking with the SMB Extra code has allowed it to map to the top level.
