Hi everybody.
I'm new to the forum and I need help to fix this strange issue.
I've got an Android Tv Bov (a Mecool BB2 pro) with Kodi 17.1 installed. I use it as a UPnP server, the multimedia files are stored in 3 external hdd plugged in via an USB hub. I've modified upnpserver.xml to bypass the 200 folders limit (I've set it to 4000).
When I connect any other Android device to the WI-FI lan, a tablet or a mobile phone, the installed VLC app plays every file smoothly.
When I connect my Windows PC (running on 8.1)to the lan , VLC seems unable to play al the files: some videos start regularly, some other don't start and a download dialogue box appears. The download (to the folder:C/User/Appdata/Local/Microsoft/Windows/InetCache/IE etc.) gets to 99% and then stops. In the above mentioned folder a copy of the video file appears.
What does this mean?
Everything is fine when I open the files following the path Computer/Network/Kodi/Video Library and using the default "Video" app preinstalled in Windows. Unfortunately the Video app can't play HEVC x265 videos.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
