Nas vs external hard drive and kodi software#
I attached a little sketch from my network.Kodi is an award-winning free and open source cross-platform software media player and entertainment hub for HTPCs. From my point of view it should be a problem though because I'm using the native paths. I also thought that it would play my 4k remuxes smoother like that.Īnd yes, the poweline adapter suck but unfortunately I don't have another option right now. The hard drive was connected to the NAS before but every time the NAS powers down, it corrupts the data on the external drive. I tried copying the path from the file manager (/storage/cryptic_number/NVIDIA_SHIELD.) into the 'shared network folder' option and emby was sending that path to the shield but when i clicked play it just went back to the library view.

i just don't know what that path needs to be. The storage capacity of external hard drives is static and can't be extended further once a hard drive is full, you either delete unuseful files to have more space for new ones or buy another drive. So emby should provide the shield with a path that links to the hard drive attached to it. Because a NAS comprises several hard drives connected together, it has more storage capacity than a single external hard drive.
Nas vs external hard drive and kodi how to#
How to mount an external USB(3) drive to a LXC container. I want kodi to play the files directly from the attached hard drive and emby just needs access for the metadata and images. For instance, the storage is mounted on pve1 from a Nas and also on pve2 at the same path. It also says 'direct play' in the emby dashboard. So as I understood, it should not send the file to emby for processing but play it directly. I should have mentioned that I'm using native paths in the 'emby for kodi' addon.

I'm out of my depth here, any help is appreciated! Thank you Oh and if i use the file manager to start the file from the drive directly its works fine. Any idea what that could be? Files from my NAS work flawlessly.

I want Kodi to play the files directly from the external hard drive without using the network paths but i cant figure out what the local path is to put into the "shared network folder"-option or am i misunderstanding sth here? If i just play a movie from the attached hard drive through the library with those smb paths (smb://SHIELD/ShieldDrive/NVIDIA_SHIELD/Videos/Recent Shield/.) its starts playing and is buffering like its playing directly from the external hard drive but i get video blocking/freezes, audio drops and the shield gets so slow that sometimes i cant even get the side menu to come out and i have to pull the power plug to restart.
