Hi,

This could be due to upgrading to Kodi Matrix, but I'm not sure.

Earlier, when I connected to a network drive (plugged into another PC), it connected instantly and I could start playing the files.

Now (since around the time I upgraded to Kodi Matrix) when I open the network drive and click on any root folder within, Kodi just freezes for upto 5 minutes.

During this time nothing works. After about 5 minutes, the folder opens and thereafter I can scroll the files as usual.

But if  I exit that folder and try to open another root folder, the same issue occurs.

I also noticed that if i opened the drive and let t just sit there for 5 minutes, i could open the root folders without delay.

Is there a fix for this ? Thank you !!
