A little while back, my OSMC/Kodi units lost connections back to the Win7/Kodi box for ripped movies, concerts and CDs.  FWIW NFS and SMB cannot see Win7/Kodi for some reason.

Using Settings > Media, I navigated to the UPnP  paths from OSMC/Kodi to the Win7, found the folders containing those ripped files and created 'Favorites' for each.  I then updated the menu items for movies, concerts and music to use the respective favorites, and the menu links now work.

But here's where it gets weird - the movies show with posters and plots like normal, but music shows folders for each ripped CD although the songs in each have the album art.  I can't figure out how to assign artwork to the folders.

Also, the concerts show as generic files, including the poster art for each (so I have twice the number of files showing, one for the ripped concert and one for the artwork).  I'm trying -to use 'Information' to assign the poster art, but it either doesn't update -or- it'll update in the 'information' screen but the poster doesn't appear when scrolling thru the concerts.

What am I doing wrong??

Update: I was able to correct the issue with music by navigating to the correct share, but concerts are still fragged.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you added them as "favorites" (rather than as media sources to scan), then what you are doing is working and browsing at the directory/file level, and not as as media-library.  If the movie file is found in the media library (because you scanned that path in previously) then it will display the media info (or a limited set of it).  Otherwise, it's just the file browser displaying the folder.jpg image in the directory, and displaying the files.  For music, when you navigate to an album directory, it should at least scan all the files in it on the fly, and display their id3 tag info.  If you want to do things like update the media info, you would need to scan those directories back into the media library proper, and navigate from library view (video library or music library) instead of going to the directories.
