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
