i cant believe i am posting this since it is something i thought i would be bound to find an answer to on google, but i just couldn't.

What is the simplest way to browse/play media files that are on my computer using Kodi on my RetroPie device? Same network of course.

i can probably fo something with VLC, but then i would have to have VLC running and a media library setup.

On the computer with the movie files, share the directory where the video files are using windows (smb) sharing (not homegroup!!!)

On kodi, load as a windows(smb) source.

Above all RTFM* http://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources
