Hi, I am a newbee, who just has installed Kodi on my pc. I have an Olive 4HD music server that is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It contains some 3000 cd’s, many of them in hi-res. I have these music files on my pc and through an import window I could then copy them on my Olive. Unfortunately this window has become unavailable recently,so I need to find a way to import hi-res files on my Olive. Non hi-res files I can import by burning them on a cdrw, although the import window was much simpler. After what I read on an Olive forum Xbmc (or Kodi)could be a solution to copy files from one device to another. Unfortunately I cannot make it work, I have the two devices on my file manager in Kodi and I can play the music of each on my pc, but when trying to copy I get the “failed to copy message”. Is this the wrong tool or am I doing it wrong? Thx for any support or tips!

Hi, thx for your answer, I am not concerned with exporting files from my Olive, because I have them on my PC. The problem is getting them in through the internet since the import window is no longer available!

Thx for replying, it is Olive that suggests to use XBMC for copying files through the file manager. I can open both sides Olive-PC, but the copying fails!

Just to clarify, are you trying to copy files from your PC to your Olive? Or the other way around, from the Olive to your PC?
Also, can you share with us a link to the Olive forum post that says to use XBMC? Maybe there are more clues in there.

I want to import music files from my pc to Olive, which I used to do through an import window that Olive would open. This is no longer the case, so I need to find another way. I can import music by burning cd's, which takes more time, but unfortunately this is not working with hi-res ( e.g. 24-192) files. The info on xbmc can be found here
