[QUOTE="mm356, post: 1168025, member: 156839"] Regarding (2)... This should be easy if you know how to create a share. Once you've created the share, it should be possible to select it from TV Server configuration. In order to avoid Windows remapping the share back to "D:\" (or whatever), [B]you have to[/B] [B]select the share[/B] [B]from within the network part. [/B]I still use XP and I'm sure 10 is different, but for me I would select My Network Places -> Entire Network -> Microsoft Windows Network -> <work group name> -> <PC name> -> <share>. If I select the same share directly under My Network Places then it will be remapped. I assume this is where you were failing earlier. I tried adding it from within the network part, but once I pressed enter it showed back up as D:\Media. Now it didn't show up under "Network", but did show up under "Homegroup". Maybe there is a difference that I admittedly still don't understand between the two. But TV Server did show it under Homegroup, which I selected, but once entered it showed back up as D:. Maybe there is still a configuration option I'm lacking that would make it also show up under "Network" in addition to "Homegroup"? As for now it looks like changing the TSstream option in the Kodi PVR to ffmpeg may have solved the problem. A quick check showed that I seem to be able to get the live TV now, so maybe that's the trick - I'll see if there are any gotchas with this new method over a longer trial period. I'd feel better with the TSReader option and the shared folder though, since that seems to be the default (preferred, even?) method, so any other ideas are welcome. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
