Hi,
I own a Philips Android TV and use Kodi to watch movies stored on a direct attached USB harddrive. Is there a way to share this drive in the local network, so that I can add new movies and TV series from my PC to the TV drive over the network, via SMB share or something similar. As far as I know Android TV doesn't have write permission to external drives.
I don't get it. Why not just play the movies from your own PC via SMB instead of saving them to a USB drive first? You can also get a RasPi and connect the USB drive to that for $40 and have an always-on SMB server filled with movies that is way more powerful than any Android setup and you can even torrent from that RasPi remotely.
