I wasn't sure where to post this thread but since I am using KODI on android I choose this one though it's not android specific question.
I was trying to get some answers with the help of google but I couldn't even find a similar topic.
I use KODI as my MovieDatabaseon Android - I have an external hdd with my media on it and when I'm home I just hang it on my router and stream the content.
When I'm traveling I take my hdd with me and play the files locally.
The goal I'd like to achieve is that - since I am using the same disk, sometimes as a SMB share, sometimes as a local device -
to "tell Kodi" that the Library source I've added is either on the share or on the locally mounted device.
So when I start a media or when it does a scan it checks both location but does not create dual entry.
Of course I could add it as a second path when I'm adding a source though I'm afraid that I will just create duplicates and a mess in my DB - which I am trying to avoid.
So my question is - to sum up - can I add a media source where I define two paths using either-or logic so Kodi tries first one and only if that is not available, than the other one?
Thanks a lot in advance
cheers!
