Access RPi3 Harddrive from another RPi3?

cat2115 · November 28, 2017 at 3:34 PM

I read a few thread but not understanding.

I'm on LibreElec 8.1.2 RPi3, wired connection. I hooked Picture/Video HD to RPi3 USB port. I can view all files in that RPi3 but if I go to my daughter room who also have RPi3 LibreElec 8.1.2 Wired, I did not see the hard drive that was connected from downstairs RPi3. I remember the early version on LibreElec, I can see my HD in all my RPi3. Is that not accessible anymore or I need to do something?

LE 8.2 (including 8.1.x) uses SMB2/3 so there is no 'network browsing' in Kodi (as it requires SMB1). You will need to configure the full server/path to add the shares.

It's already default and enabled and confirm not working.

Will report back. Is this what I need to type in my daughter RPi3: \\enter_ip_address_here\HD

I personally find it easiest to add/edit things /storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml .. but then I'm a console junkie
