But how have you added the sources on the Shield?

Oliver74 · 2024-03-31, 20:42

I just added the folders, film, 4K and 4K series

It looks to me that the individual folders were not added as separate sources, instead it looks like the whole USB drive was added as the single source My Passport.

Thanks for your feedback

Should I uninstall Kodi and then reinstall it again to fix this problem?
To add a source I followed this procedure. Is it valid?

for the management of video Sources everything can be done through the interface for all Kodi (windows, android, linux....)

Settings / Media / Media Library / Videos Long press on the source name and there is a menu to manage

Isn't this how removal drives always work?

When connected, they automatically get mounted similar to normal drives, rather than as sources.
You can then browse to their content and set things up in the normal way by marking the relevant folder as either TV shows, movies etc and setting a scraper.

If you want to remove the source, browse to the folder in the file tree and then change its' content setting from whatever media is in it to none.

kodi on my computer displays the same folder that I did not add the My Passport disk which is the case with my Shield.

I managed to remove the source by going to change the analysis mode and put none, this deletes all the media folder. Finally I did not make an error when adding a source, long press on the folder to add as new content... I just noticed that the folder added does not appear as a source folder, for example "HD Movies " in the explorer but my Myppaport external usb drive then the folder add it is not at all like on PC. I don't know if I was clear but that said it works.

On the other hand, when I added the same source that I had deleted the tags such as the reading of films and series remains so it does not reset the reading positions.

Yes, this is what I said before. Basically you're not really adding or removing a source, all you're doing is changing the content of one (the WD drive in this case) as the actual source (the drive) is there all along.

Thread marked solved.

I still don't understand why I can't delete the source on my shield and can do it on my computer. too bad

**DarrenHill**

Because the different OS's handle mounted/connected USB drives differently.

As I said before, under Android it's not a source, it's a mounted drive. If you want to "remove the source", you have to unmount and/or unplug the whole drive.

thank you for feedback I understand better now
Is there a tutorial to configure and access my 2 HDDs from my desktop computer in networks on my shield to add them to Kodi.

Thank you for your feedback, it will help me.

I'm coming back to you because I followed the procedure for sharing files from my computer to the shield and it keeps asking me for the password, it's impossible to connect even when changing under Windows 10.

Thank you for your advice
