I have 2 external hard drives connected to my android box and have scraped 12tb of movies and TV. everything is tagged and ordered nicely, I can move my library and build easy enough between android boxes using the BACKUP add-on. my aim is to have this same library, look and feel cross platformed on all my devices...PC, laptop etc and there in lies the problem.
The BACKUP add-on will successfully move across all the entries for all my TV and Movies but every entry is just dead, the external hard drives aren't automatically showing up in 'FILES' as they do on android? The only option is to 'ADD SOURCE' but when I do I'm then given the option to re-scrape the entire hard drive (is it movies, tv etc) if I re-scrape the entire hard drive I'm now left with DUPLICATES of every entry and of course this new scrape doesn't have anything tagged and things are out of order..
I have tried to just click 'nothing' when adding the hard drive to 'FILES' in a vain hope it will now play the entries its picked up with the BACKUP programme, but no dice.
I've tried the long manual way of moving builds and library entries by copying the ADDONS & USERDATA into the relevant folders only to yield the SAME RESULT..(it gives you the entries of the library but without the relevant source in 'FILES' being detected each entry is dead and doesn't play)
The EXPORT LIBRARY option just does NOT WORK.. both options keep saying It needs relevant permissions, the individual option just returns a failed to create dialogue for every folder and the individual option keeps saying it doesn't have permission to write onto the disk even though I've granted every permission possible and EVERYONE has the ability to write onto the hard drive?
I'm at my WITS END WITH IT …..
Everything I've read about it seems to be really out of date, none of the IMPORT / EXPORT library options work anymore no matter how many permissions I grant?
I've been using Kodi and building my setup/menus/library/look/feel etc on my android box for nearly 8 months now and would like to consider myself not a total NEWB but this has just stumped me..
All I want to achieve is to have the SAME build reading from the SAME LIBRARY on MULTIPLE platforms....I realise this means manually plugging in the external hard drive into whatever platform/OS I'll be using at the time.
I got a sweet remote for my desktop + Laptop and with the 80+ customised menu's I'm rocking I hope I can take full advantage of my PC's processing power as oppose to a tiny android box which is lagging and crashing due to the sheer amount of stuff I've scraped onto it already.
ANY AND ALL HELP WITH THIS WOULD BE MASSIVELY APPRECIATED.
I'M ABOUT READY TO SUCK A TAIL PIPE.....
