How to hide the icon for the external hard drive? - druidasse - 2021-11-05
Hello,
My videos are stored on an external hard drive that is connected physically to the media server.
I mainly use the menu "Videos" on the left menu of the home page, and from there I go and select what I want to watch from the data sources I set for this section (e.g "TV Shows" and "Movies").
Problem is that it also adds an icon for the external drive itself. How can I avoid having this external hard drive icon that "grants access" to the root of my external hard drive?
I have two concerns for this:
- I don't want my users to see it
- Option to allow deletion through Kodi is enabled, meaning that someone could also delete other files than videos from this hard drive.
I spent a lot of time searching for a solution, but if there's a public one I guess I never used the proper keywords...
Thanks in advance

If the videos on the drive are so sensitive, unplug and remove it when you yourself are not using Kodi.
