Ok. Running Windows on wired connection with a 15TB hard drive attached.
I'm trying to get Kodi to access the drive with all the music on it.
My PC sees the Nuc and i can move folders in and out no problem. But I can't get the Nuc to see my 2 Pc's on the network, but it does see 2 Synology boxes i have on the network. Just tried the instructions in post 397 with no luck.

​

Were you able to determine the IP adresses of the two PCs?

Yep, tried that. I can't seem to get my head around this. (Above my pay grade.)
I know a person who knows a person, and this will be sorted.
Thanks for your suggestions.

I'm trying to get Kodi to access the drive with all the music on it.

OK. I just went through the process. Its a Kodi Settings that needs to be changed:

Go to the Kodi System-> Services window:

Scroll down to: SMB client on left

Find the Setting: Enable WS-Discovery Service

Enable that setting (as shown above)


With that enabled:

TO ADD A SHARED FOLDER OR DRIVE ON A WINDOWS PC:

Go to MEDIA Settings, MUSIC

and add a new Kodi MUSIC source:

Add Music
then: Browse

Then select: Windows Ntwork (SMB)

then: Select your PC (by name)

Then: Enter your PC's share Username & Password:

And: Enable: Remember for this path

To Save you must navigate to the small 'Tick' icon/button at top right and Click on it to Save

Now you will see all the Shared folders on your PC:

Select the one to your want (see above):

Save again navigating to the top right 'TICK' and CLICK to save

Now Kodi will ask if you want to Scan the folders into your Koi Music Library

(This is already documented in the NUC docs)

CLICK: YES

And YES, I agree that horrible SAVE icon on these dialogs is terrible. I do not know why they do not have big SAVE buttons

Thanks for all your effort. I'll try it next chance i get.
