TerraMaster Forum

Hello everyone, I have an F2-220, the TOS is 5.0.176. I would like to know how I can set up an external USB hard drive (USBshar1) as a shared folder to play it from Kodi. Thanks. Best regards

Sorry, this operation is currently not supported.

Thanks for your reply. So there is no way to play in Kodi a file that is on an external hard drive connected to the Terramaster via USB, right?

That is not exactly what you asked in first post
I expect that the answer is quite accurate wrt shared folders. I don't use either usb attached or Kodi so can,t help other than to say I expect you can make a usb folder part of the Kodi library.

Regarding whether Kodi can access media files on USB folder via media server, this has to be verified.
But you should be able to access media files on USB folder via SMB/NFS connection on Kodi.

Solved. The problem was that my TV doesn't read H.265 files and I wanted to be able to watch them through Terramaster and Fire TV. I finally managed to do it with the VLC application since I can view the hard drive through the network. Greetings and thanks to everyone for your interest.
