Hi
Non techie here, determined to fix this one, any help very much appreciated. Happy to give more info if necessary!
ISSUE
I have had this error since yesterday when I try to play movies stored on my NAS via Kodi on my Amazon Fire TV. When I try to play the movies from the Kodi library I am told the file is no longer available and asked if I want to remove it from the library. When I go directly to files to ply from there I get the error in the post title.
ACTIONS
I did have an internet connection outage just beforehand (an issue with my Devolo Homeplug system) which is when the problem started. In trying to fix it I also reentered some settings into my Amazon Fire (my router IP details etc) manually before I realised it was the Devolo no the Fire that was the problem. I then deleted all my manually entered IP addresses / DNS an let the Fire find what it needed automatically which it successfully did, so I am assuming that my meddling at this point is not the cause of the problem - though of course I may be wrong.
Since then I have looked at my Source settings in Kodi.From the File menu, selected Video >Browse to s source>NFS> up pops my (saved) NAS IP, select that> up pops the NAS shared folders Video, Photo, Music, Docs etc>then I cant select or navigate into the Video Folder. When I try to click select I get the Network not Connected error.
I have also tried to set up an SMB connection - not 100% confident I did this correctly - but still got the same network connection error.
OTHER INFO
Broadband and wifi working perfectly on desktop and tablets etc. I can connect to my NAS via other devices (play back music via iPod, access files directly through PC ).
SET UP
Amzon Fire TV;Kodi 14.2 Helix ( I think); Synology Diskstation DS412+; Asus Router RTN66U with a BT Open reach modem; Develo Homelpug system for taking ethernet and wifi around the house including to the Amazon FireTV; and a Netgear Prosafe GS108PE USB switch - though the NAS is connected directly to the router, the switch takes my 2 VOIP phone units)
