Just Great! After posting in this thread all week, now my post thread has disappeared and all the comments by black_eagel are gone.

Make one playlist with Kodi that uses some music from the drive. Save it. Verify it plays. Open it in some text editor and see what the paths are. Either create some path subs to remap directories based on those paths you see, or edit your playlists to ... (visit the thread to read more..)
