Kodi 20 cannot see local files on HDD connected to Nvidia Shield Pro - bobytt - 2023-01-17

Kodi 20 cannot see local files on HDD , i was on 19.3 and since Kodi updated itself i no longer can see ANY files on the HDD or even on my NAS. I have 2 Nvidia Shield Pro and i have this problem on both of them?

On Android TV go to Settings -> Apps - Kodi -> Permissions -> Files and Media and select Allow all the time.

Then reopen Kodi.

Thanks for that. I could see the external drive (I chose 'Allow only while the app is running') but not all the content. It's all visible now.

Kodi 20 Ethernet connection not working & there is no option now to to reconnect Ethernet? Buffering too long now & Kodi cuts off? Any advice welcome gracefully! Smile

Hmm... Did you just pick a convenient forum thread to post your quite vague question in, and kinda hijack the thread? Next time, for unrelated questions to the topic, please open your own new forum thread in the appropriate forum section.

So which Kodi using hardware are you referring to?

Hello,
I also have the same problem, all my files on my hdd are not visible.
I Uninstalled kodi, re-installed it and also checked that my had is referred as a source in kodi.
Unfortunately, I still don't see my files... ☹️

Thanks for your help.
