Don't forget your dumb Samsung is not as smart as kodi. It cannot play every file. The codecs and formats it can play is a subset of what kodi can play.
Also you do have your library scanned in don't you?

Shall we take this in simpler steps?
What are the video and audio codecs and container formats of the material you are trying to share with your samsung tv?
Where do those fit with what Samsung supports via UPNP?
But above all, why the hell don't you plug an HTPC running Kodi into the HDMI port of you TV? In US$ terms (and probably about the same in GBP or EUR) it is an investment or 150.00 or less.

I'm doing that for $58 Xs box on my down stairs sony not so smart tv (without Wi-Fi)...
>Uhm, why don't you just watch TV on your TV? What am I missing?
There is Live TV Channels on Kodi that I can't get here with just my TV...
>If you want to watch live TV, you should not use Kodi, but rather a cable service or antenna connected to your TV.
I have all that too...

Pozdrav ja sam novi na forumu nadam se da vam ne smeta što ne znam engleski ali uz prevoditelja će biti lako , Kodi gledam na Samsung smart tv pomoću mobitela putem screen mirroring slika je ok fino klizi, sa računala putem hdmi kabela , vrlo zadovoljan , naravno bio bi zadovoljniji kad bi Samsung podržavao kodi aplikaciju

Hello I am new to the forum I hope you do not mind I do not know English but with a translator will be easy, Cody look at the Samsung smart TV by using a cell phone through a screen mirroring images is ok fine sliding, with the computer via an HDMI cable, very pleased, of course would be satisfied if Samsung supported the application code

The operating systems kodi works on are clearly listed on the download page. The only smart TV OS that it works on is android.
Someone has made it work on tizen, but I am not sure of the status of that fork.
Short story: buy a computer such as a supported android box, or a chromebox etc.
