Kodi Community Forum

Hello everybody,

I made a lot of research to know how to install the smb addon, which are missing on the network location menu (only NFS is available).
I cannot find how to enable this feature clearly.
I want to have an access to my Nas server.

I install kodi on my smart TV and it works correctly (smb sharing was already available).

But on my Xbox it's not the case...

For information :kodi 18.1 Git:20190217-8cfdc895f3.

Could you please help me ?

Thank you

Any decent NAS server will give access to its files via more than one file protocol.
Personally I would suggest NFS, because I have been using is with XBMC & Kodi for years. Not only is it immensely stable and fast, but SMB has created a bit of a mess for itself lately.
Kodi has built-in support for NFS as well, so why not try that?

Thank you for your reply,

I'm using freenas, I'm not against the fact to use NFS protocol but I share files thanks to Windows 10.
Maybe I'm wrong but W10 doesn't handle NFS share protocol?
I try to find a NFS client for W10 but it's not so easy...

That's why I choose to use SMB.

Thank you,

Tony
