How to view Movie files from External HDD - MUK354 - 2019-02-04
Hi
I have a 1TB External HDD with numerous MP4 format Movie files. The Format of this HDD is NTFS. I have connected this HDD to a smart TV in my living room where i can view the movies. However i want to be able to view these movies on my old TV in my bedroom via Kodi v16, which is installed on a Firestick. The reason is that my old TV does not pick up the HDD if i connect to its USB port as i believe the format of the drive is the issue. NTFS vs FAT32!!!. Is there any way I can do this via my home network with the settings in Kodi.
Thanks.

You have to connect the hard drive as a network hard drive on the router.
