Problem with finding video

[ninja 0]

Hey All,

I have been searching the net for a solution for a problem I have been having... I really hope SOMEONE can help me.

I have set up my unit *520e and have can get it to work just fine sometimes.

When I add new files to the Videos directory on my desktop my device does not always see them. I can manually play them from using a thumb drive but what would be the point of that.

I think it might have something to do with permission settings as the title works when I thumb drive them.

Any HELP would be useful

You can either use the pre installed Video player to play the video files from a USB thumb drive, or you can use KODI for this.

Even MX player or VLC player from the Play Store will do this as well.

Or are you trying to setup a NAS network on KODI to pull the video files from your PC?

I am trying to get the NAS to work. It will often say can not connect to network. then it will work but will not update new files once I have added them to the folder on the NAS.

Thank you for your help

This KODI Wiki should explain how to do what you want.

I find with NAS, I have to exit KODI and re open it in order for my library to update with any new files I added.

Which version of KODI are you using?
