New to Kodi and it is driving me insane!!!!

Source after source I am trying to add and most of the time I get the message "couldn't retrieve directory information. This could be due to the network not being connected"

I know my network is fine so can anybody help me out please?
Wot are you trying to do?
I remember struggling at first but got it to work eventually
My guess is the sources he's trying to add are listed here.

Please provide a Debug log (wiki) when you try to access the streams.

Debug log (wiki)
I'm trying to tune in my psychic support hat but can't quite work out your hardware or which network your stuff is on (SMB\NFS\UPnP). So I'll have to wait for the debug log.

Meanwhile, have a look at the Wiki

If you're trying to add network sources i understand your pain. The gui for it is a bit like banging your head against a wall.
It's easier just to write into sources.xml

Read the links posted, you'll get it.
