Thanks much, How do you get xbmc on my version of Kodi, don't think my one has it?

KODI is xbmc

They changed there name about 2 years ago.

The exact same steps in that xbmc video, will work on KODI.

File manager didn't work, really got fooled by external drive that had same files on it.

Still no luck, other laptops connect, not Mygica. .?

Thanks much, How do you get xbmc on my version of Kodi, don't think my one has it?

PC does show up on list of locations under sbmc

Kodi-videos-files-add videos (only external drive shows up as udisk0)-add video source(PC name is Cocteau, has working Homegroup in W10)

 

entered cocteau and Homegroup, no luck

 

what am I doing wrong?

As long as you are under same network, and your PC folder or network drive is shared as SMB or AFP  you should be able to find it under your Kodi, 

 

remember

( Network Drive ) -> Router (01) Wired or Wireless
( MyGica Unit ) -> Router (01) Wired or Wireless

they should be able to see it,   

The Network drive if it is shared as NAS  then under your Kodi on MyGica unit you look for NAS,  if SMB then you look for SMB, or AFP which is apple devices uses. then under Kodi you look for AFP.

 

hope this helps.
