SMB access from Kodi

Help and Support
1

I want to play video from my Windows 7 PC in Kodi. Unfortunately Samba (SMB) menu for new video source cannot find any sharings. I made static mount in OSMC console - now I have the PC directory mounted as /mnt/movies. Unfortunately this has side effects - the PC cannot sleep, it wakes up after entering sleep mode. Is there a way to access SMB share from Kodi UI?

Hi,

You need to browse to:

root filesystem > mnt > movies

Thanks Tom.

Yes, it works with /mnt/movies. But the problem is with static mount - it seems RPi samba client sends packets to Windows 7 and wakes it up. Since I added this mount, Win7 PC cannot enter in sleep mode.
