Servman 1 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi @Liuke, I have gotten it working, with the window style of the below \\<username>:<password@<ipaddress\Meida\Movie \\<username>:<password@<ipaddress\Meida\TVShow I'm happy with this if it stays like this but maybe this should be documented somewhere so everyone knows. Whats your thoughts? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would not include the username and password in the path. Instead, use the regular ip path without user:pass, and navigate to your content in Kodi and enter them once prompted. To navigate to your content, you can just go to Kodi settings > addons > install from zip > navigate to your content.
