I have  a Hisense 32" A4 Series 1080p Smart Android TV (32A4H) with kodi installed. I had to partition a 4tb drive into two 2tb to be seen on the tv otherwise if it the full 3.6tb partition it give says its corrupted. 

The thing is when I go to 

https://ibb.co/zPzBmzR this I don't see the harddrive in as a selection and when I click on external storage it takes me to the andoird tv on folder system with DCIM and other things that are running the device its own built in storage I mean to say.

When I go to enter file selection then click on files the two partitions show up and the tv reads it as two seperate drives so it shows as two seperate drives. I want to merge the two into one folder but the problem is when I go add video it not showing up unless i go to files then the two show up. I am wondering if I need to mount something on the andriod tv so I can go add video click browse and see the two partitons and from there browse and add them both to correct one folder.

kodi can only see drives which are mounted by the system, typically android devices do not do this
other apps are using mechanisms which kodi does not have in order to see devices which are not mounted

in general, it is unlikely you will be able to use external devices on android with kodi save for a few specific devices which physically mount drives to the filesystem

is there any software that I can use software to mount in andoird on android tv?

i don't get it....... if you can't see a 4TB drive but you can see it with 2 smaller partitions then what is the problem? KODI as such really doesn't care how many sources you have in your library so there is no need for any merging or whatever to have a neat system. What you need is to figure hot what your combo of Android and Hisense actually support. NTFS is generally a no go, so I would start with making 2 FAT partitions on that drive and those should get auto mounted and you should see them in KODI file manager. If you do, then you don't need to do any browsing or anything when you wanna add them as your sources. Just go to Media-Library-/Videos and those should be visible there.

problem is they DO NOT show up in kodi, see first screen shot

where user states "When I go to enter file selection then click on files the two partitions show up and the tv reads it as two seperate drives" they are talking about a file selection "app" on the TV, not in kodi
if the OS had mounted the drives/partitions they would show up in the first screenshot

I had to partition a 4tb drive into two 2tb to be seen on the tv

so.........on my SONY drives get auto mounted if they are properly formatted and if it works for any other filemanager then they should be visible in KODI also. Just tried with 128GB stick, 2 FAT partitions, works as expected, 2 NTFS partitions don't show up. Which is also expected but might be the problem on his side.
