![]() ![]() You can fine tuning it accessing the port 9000 on the same ip of the nas. If you see the mycloud on video device than twonky is enabled on it. So perhaps now I have to try this on my Windows 10 laptop? I thought I might try copying the pictures to the M圜loud, as, if that showed them to me, might help me understand what is supposed to be happening.īut the Vista laptop is trying to download device driver software for the M圜loud, and currently failing to find any. Is there a sensible guide to Kodi anywhere, as I don't understand any of this? Does that tell you that it has the Twonky Media server set up on it?Īnd I have now managed to watch the same video in Kodi, which found the M圜loud by IP address on a Network Search, decided it was /nfs (?), and when searched (manually, but in Kodi) turned up the video, told me all about it, and then played it to me.īut how does all this help me look at pictures on the Vista laptop? The TV can see the M圜loud and play a video from it in the Video app. And I am not serving them via my laptop (as a middle person) by the way. Anyway, I added the network filepath to Kodi under the Photos area, and I do not get any username/password box appear. First thing I noticed is that Kodi have updated to version 17.0 - Krypton - This version is So much better that 16.1. I have just re-installed Kodi after having it removed for awhile to test accessing my photos from my DLNA server. If you have a Vista Laptop and the files are on the laptop itself, you could enable Media sharing via Windows Media Player - simplest solution? But it sounds that if Firefox was like Kodi, you would need a browser add-in before Firefox would workĪnyone with some clues for the bewildered? What's the best and simplest way to see photos from the Vista laptop on the screen of the Android TV?Īnyone with some clues for the bewildered? What's the best and simplest way to see photos from the Vista laptop on the screen of the Android the WD M圜loud have the ability to setup a Twonky Media Server? This would negate the need to use a media server on your laptop. I mean, I understand what add-ins are from Firefox. Or is it, as the Help hints, that Kodi on its own can't show photos, and needs an add-in to do this for it? Shades of Make, and dependencies resolution. So - what can be wrong - is it that Kodi can't see my files unless I have something like serviio on the laptop to serve them? All the help for which started from the assumption that you could see them And it all looked like a nostalgia trip for people who had once got a Linux distro running, and about twice as complicated.īut I was past that stage, so I looked in the Kodi help for how to view photos. Reams about the possible difficulties of installing it, and install tweaks you might do none if it applicable to the straightforward install I'd done. Kodi just kept offering to password protect the folder. ![]() I could see the folder, couldn't see what was in it. Kodi seemed better it saw my laptop, saw the folder I had Shared, and - I got stuck there. ![]() And it I wanted it all in one place, I'd put it on my M圜loud, which the Android TV can certainly play video from with no bother, and so probably photos as well? No good to me - my media is where it is, and it just wants fetching when I want to look at it, not shifting round all over the place. Pretty soon, I found I needed a Plex server on the laptop I was using as my source - an aging Windows Vista one - and the Plex model was to store all your media in one place. Not that I thought I needed both at once, but I thought I'd let them duke it out to see what was best. To handle media, I downloaded Kodi and Plex from the Google Play Store. Which I thought I'd look at, prompted by this query, and got into a world of incomprehensible hurt with. I suppose the first thing to say is no, you can't use anything but HDMI to view media from your computer over a wire.Īs I do but if you don't have HDMI on the computer, and can't add a card with it on, you need to go the network route. ![]()
