is it possible to connect my kodi windows 10 setup, to my locally connected firestick - stuartrozier - 2022-07-08
hello,
my first post so apologise in advance is this sounds bizarre,
i have kodi setup as my media player on my windows 10 pc, all local media is on the pc, works like a dream as a media centre connected to my tv.
unfortunately i need to move the pc to another location in the house,
i have kodi installed on my fire stick - is it possible to locate and stream my local media from the windows 10 kodi setup, so it can be viewed via the fire stick ?
many thanks in advance again,
stuart

You can use SMB (wiki) for Windows.
You can also use UPnP (wiki) or the Mezzmo addon by @jbinkley60 ... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=366906
Though using a Firestick is not a great option for Kodi. It is low powered and has a small storage for the cached images displayed in the library.
