I have XBMC Gotham installed on Amazon Fire TV with media files resident on the same sub-net, hosted by a QNAP NAS. SMB networking is enabled on the NAS and I configured the file location on XBMC to point to the NAS (SMB://192,.168.1.11//Multimedia/Music). The connection is successful, but all I can do is browse the directory structure on the NAS. XBMC does not scan the NAS folder and create its own library.
I also have XBMC Gotham on a Windows PC on the same network. I mapped a the Z: drive on the PC to the NAS (\\DougNas/Multimedia). In this case, XBMC scans the files on the NAS to create its own library.
Is this a limitation of XBMC on Android? Is it an artefact of using SMB networking? Is there a setting in XBMC for scanning the media file location vs. browsing it?
