HI - Can I access the media locations on my PC from an Android TV box running Kodi?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You need to be using CIFS/SMB (normal Windows file/folder sharing) for this at the very least, which is an entirely different set-up and protocol.
Just make sure that all devices are in the same workgroup (by default called "WORKGROUP") and they should see one another.

To share under SMB you need to right click on the folder, go to properties and then the sharing tab. The options for sharing on the initial right click menu aren't the ones, they are home group shares.
