How can I share files/folders with my kodi ?!?!?!
I´ve tried to enable DLNA but I don´t find it anywhere … I found a tutorial but it´s for the My Cloud and it doesn´t aplied in this one …
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or describe how to do it ( I´m very noob, so keep it simple, please ), please …
you can share files and folders in kodi that are in your public folder on the mycloud home via the network SMB option in kodi
look here >> https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources
Thanks!
pusb87, I´ll give a try but I believe something is not correct in my network … Below it´s an image from it
Under Rede ( Network )I have 2 DESKTOP … ( one with a folder My cloud … ) where I should only have 1 and the other should be MYCLOUD …
What can I do to correct it ?!?!?! It´s this the reason I can´t acess mycloud using Kodi ?!?!!?
Just to add my experience here…
I first added my content to the private folder and, with the discovery software, I was able to make Kodi view the files and add to the library.
But then Kodi started to behave soooo slow and files that should play smoothly became pretty stepped. I used the private area because I didn’t like the idea of having all the content available to everybody.
As a test, I copied a file to the public folder and make it vewable by Kodi.
And you know what?, it ran as smooth as my system could handled. So now I moved all my library to the public folder and Kodi started to behave as before.
Just for you information.
Cheers.
Its best if you can assign a fixed IP for the MCH via your router and then use the network location feature when accessing the MCH from Kodi (Sect 6 in the link).
I’m asuming your device can connect to your home network and see the MCH public folder. You can use samba for that, but the public folder is easily accesible with anything, including your smartphone explorer app.
I can’t get my My Cloud to show up as smb nor UPnP (as suggested since Kodi now uses smb v2?). I get an “Error 2: share not available” when I try to browse for it. I’m using Kodi 18.6. I’ve typed in ip address (static) with and without “/” at the end…and nothing. Not sure what else to do.
