Originally, I couldn't find the server at all from the tablet. None of the shares were showing up for it at all.
Did some homework, got SMB enabled on the server.
I can access the directories through ES Explorer now, so I know that's working.
Android Kodi 15.2 will not find the server using SMB.
So, I enabled UPNP on the server.
Android Kodi can see the server now via UPNP, and I can browse to dirs, but adding the path does not bring up the option to assign a type so that the library can find it.
I can go under Videos-Files and find the added path there, and movies will play ok.
How can I get this to browse to the movies directory on server and have the Movies option be added to the home screen?
