Hi all,

I'm a Kodi newbie and would really appreciate any help you can throw my way.

I've set up a Minix Neo U1 (Android 5.1.1) using the default skin with a 2Tb hard drive plugged in with all my DVD rips. I've set up the library and can browse and play with no problem connected via HDMI to my TV. The HDD is called "Elements".

Each film has it's own folder containing movie art etc extracted using Media Centre Master. Naming conventions are correct - example path

Elements\Kodi Kids\Monsters Inc\ (for the kids films)
or Elements\Kodi Movies\Scarface\ (for mine)

I've enabled UPnP and installed Kodi on 2 android tablets.

On the tablets I can browse for and add "Elements" drive via UPnP - but then no further option is available to select the Kodi Kids folder. In fact I cannot see or play any films at all.

Eg from the main Kodi menu I select "Video", then "Files", then "Element Ext" (what I named the host when setting it up), then "Elements" and there it stops...

Apologies if the detail is a bit sketchy but any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks.
