Aliasing path in database - jalcaid001 - 2022-09-15
Hi,
I'd like to know if there is a way of aliasing a given path into another path
For instance, I have my movies on \\192.168.1.6\SHARE1\Movies, but I'd like to be able to connect the harddrive locally and use c:\Movies
TIA

Kodi is not the operating system. If you want a different/alternate path for a network location, you'll need to tell Windows that. If you want the above, then simply make a separate drive letter. And why particularly "C:\Movies"? Kodi is fine using network paths anyway.

The above is just an example. I usually have my sources on a samba share. But eventually I need to connect them directly to my kodi device via USB.
I tried the letter option in the past. But this is not a workable solution with multiple operating systems.
I know Kodi is an OS, but since it's supposed to be muli-OS perhaps it could offer a solution to this.

I cannot believe I'm the only one who would find this useful.
I guess I'll have to mess up with the SQL database ;-(
