Hi All,
I have been searching through the forum to find the answers but none of the suggestions that I have found have worked and I don’t understand why not.
I am facing the issue on my Kodi install on MAC OSX and my Kodi on Shield Android TV.
I have windows 10 with MP2 installed, set up and working with a local Kodi install on the W10 machine. I can watch live tv, record and play.
When i try and view live TV on Mac or the Shield TV it just says ‘waiting’ and never plays.
the channels load and EPG displays.
I can even add the shares on my w10 machine to the file manager in Kodi and play the TS files directly so i’m very confused as to what the problem can be.
The shared folders on the w10 all have full permissions for the shared folders in sharing permissions and NTFS permissions. I have given the ‘everyone’ group full access.
I have tried changing the WINS server to my router that acts as my DHCP server as one post suggests but that didn’t work either.
