I have searched the forums for an answer below to no avail, here goes:
I have Kodi 17 running on my raspberry pi as a port through Retropie.
I have added media sources (video folders) from a local computer on my network in Kodi. I can access the folder and all video files perfectly fine within the "video" menu item. All videos, etc also play just fine when accessed from there.
I cannot, however, get any of the media sources I have added from my local network computer to allow me to "set content" for any of the files. I am attempting to do this on my raspberry pi running kodi. My local network computer is running win 10.
I also have kodi installed on my win 10 machine. I was able to add the media sources there, as well as "set content" on any folders I choose. "Set content" is a normal option when accessing that media source and pulls data through to tv shows/movies, etc just fine. Note, the win 10 machine running kodi is also the same machine that has the files I am trying to access. To clarify, Kodi doesn't even give me the option to "set content" on the pi version I have for media sources (it did on my win 10 machine). Only options listed are: "play, add to favorites, edit source, remove source, and choose thumbnail."
I am hoping there is a setting or simple step I have overlooked here to get it working on my pi. Appears it may have to do with accessing the files over network vs local hdd? Please help!
