Share Content Over USB? Or Improve Wifi Sharing Performance?

  • Hi,
    Is it possible to share a Pi's content (running LE) over USB to a connected Android phone? I use kodi in my van so my daughter can watch videos on those long road trips and would like my Android phone to be able to access the music on the Pi2. I guess this would be kind of a reverse MTP...instead of my Android files being visible to my Pi, it would be the other way around.

    I've already tried sharing the files over wifi with a USB dongle, but the connection is flaky leading to stalls/pauses while the music streams. I tried this using Kodi as the player on my phone and it stalled all the time. I think the samba library kodi uses might have some issues. I also tried using a Music app called Samba player. It was a bit better, but still had stalls. If someone can think of a better, consistent method of sharing over wifi, I'm open to that too.

    Thanks!
