Unable to add SMB source - yax51 - 2017-11-13 Ok, so I've been using kodi 17.5 on an Android nexus player to watch movies/tv shows on my external hdd connected via a windows 7 machine. Now it doesn't work. I recently disconnected the hdd to add some video files to an offline computer for my kids, but when I connected the hdd back to the original machine, kodi no longer recognizes it. If I go to file manager > add source > windows network (smb): there is nothing there. Both nexus player and windows machine are on the same network Things I've tried: Cleaning library setting up file sharing through a home group and "share with" per: http://kodi.wiki/view/SMB/Windows set folders to be shared with everyone with full control. restarting both windows machine and nexus player. reinstalling kodi 17.5 anyone have any ideas? edit: Nexus player can detect the external HDD via es file explorer,but not kodi RE: Unable to add SMB source - yax51 - 2017-11-13 Ok I figured it out. Instead of browsing to the SMB folder, you have to manually enter in the location of the shared folder. example: setting > media setting > library > videos > add videos select <none> and change to smb://[location of shared folder] for mine I used smb://MEDIA-PC/eHDD/Movies the format would be smb://[computer name]/[external HDD name]/[shared folder name] so for whatever reason navigating to the folder doesn't work, but manually adding it does. hope this helps! RE: Unable to add SMB source - dulac66 - 2017-11-13 Didn't work for me with my Windows 10 desktop. My Windows 7 laptop is no problem somehow.

RE: Unable to add SMB source - dulac66 - 2017-11-14 For a noob like me, how do I do that?

Only Kodi v18 can handle SMBv2/3 on Android (OSX and iOS). RE: Unable to add SMB source - djgrind - 2019-04-17 Hey thanks letting people know what worked for you. I can confirm this process also worked for me. Just make sure spell everything exactly the same as it is on the home pc (ie. Pathway). |
