Hi all,
I’ve posted this question to the Android-forum, but then I realized it probably is a problem on the PC (Linux) side… so I’m not quite sure now. Here’s the question:
I love Kodi and installed it on all my devices. But I have a problem with Kodi on my Android-TV.
I want to access my video collection, that I have on my Linux-PC running Kodi. Kodi on Linux runs fine.
But: on the TV I get an outdated list of files when I browse the library via UPnP. It loads fine at the beginning, but later when I add new files, move files around etc. in the library (on the PC), the list never updates on the Android-Kodi. Why? I tried “update library”, does nothing. I also set “broadcast library updates to clients” on the PC-Kodi.
The only workaround I found so far is: change the name of the PC-Kodi, add the new name to the sources on Android and load the files from there. Then I get the new list, but as soon as I make changes in the library, the same happens: no update on Android.
Yesterday I tried installing VLC on Android, and the same happens: it gets an old file list via UPnP (the same as Kodi on Android). I don’t understand that. It has to be a problem of the PC-Kodi then…
Anyone any ideas?
