Hi all,
I'm trying very hard to not beak any rules so if there is anything wrong with this please let me know so I can fix it or delete it, I don't want to get into any trouble.
I have a laptop with my movies and videos on it.
I have Kodi 18.six Leia installed on a fire stick connected to my tv.
The tv is an LG that has WebOs operating system and lets me play my movies from my laptop on the tv through the media center I created by sharing a folder with the tv.
But WebOS wont let me add Kodi so I needed a streaming stick.
The WebOs player stinks though and I have little control, so I thought maybe Kodi would be better for this.
I want to learn how I can point my Kodi from the firestick plugged into my tv to my laptops media folder so I can use Kodi to organize and play my movies.
Is there a way to tell Kodi where my videos are ?
While I Was looking to work this out I ran across Plex? I Set this up and it seems to work and solve my problems plus I can use it in the WebOs rather than the fire stick, BUT this is just bypassing Kodi, I still dont know how to point Kodi on the firestick to my laptop media server.
I'm sure this can be done, but I'm having a tough time working it out so far.
any help would be great!!
Thanks for reading this much.
