Hi All,

I've recently upgraded my Firestick to the 4K version. All without any problem. I have 3 attached NAS's and have created video sources related to each. I'm using the same Confluence skin that I 've used in 2 previous setups. It all works beautifully. The last thing I wanted to do - what I thought would be the easiest of all was to change the Background jpeg, and so....

I went into system settings / interface / configure skin / background / enabled custom background / clicked on "Background Path"
On the resulting page (entitled Browse for image) I'm presented with 2 options...

External Storage
Root Filesystem

So far so good, however, when I click on "External Storage" instead of seeing my NAS's I get a list of 10+ folders entitled....

Alarms
Android
backups
DCIM
etc etc

If I click on root filesystem the cursor just bounces up to External storage. How the heck do I navigate to my required image (which is located on one of my NAS drives)

I can easily navigate to the required image in file manager and display it - no problem - so why the heck can't I navigate to it in "Skin Settings - Background" ??

The questions I need answers to are....

1. Why aren't my drives, which are easily found, and used, in another part of KODI (Add Videos) NOT visible when I click on "External Storage"
2. Why can't I enter "Root filesystem"

HELP !!!

Add your NAS to the file manager so it appears when you open that menu.

Add your NAS to the file manager so it appears when you open that menu.

Thanks for your reply. Could you give me more detail please - I'm able to add the network folder location (where my jpeg is) to file manager - but not an actual drive letter - it's not in the list for addition. But as I said earlier, I can easily navigate to my required jpeg in file manager.
IF I was allowed to select "Root Filemanager" to set the path for background Jpeg this thread would not exist! I'm truly baffled as to why I cant select root in this instance. Thinking out loud - Is it a KODI permission thing? - no it can't be because I can easily access file manager...

I love it when a plan comes together ! - But unfortunately it isn't - coming together

Looks like I'm going to have to came at this from another angle.....

When I click on "External Storage" (as per my OP) and I get the list of folders (as opposed to my NAS's - which are easily accesible by other means - WTF?)
One of the folders in that list is entitled "Pictures" - maybe if I could place my background jpeg in THAT folder - job sorted.
Any Ideas how to do that - exactly ??
