This is a similar approach to when i used it long ago when it was xmbc. My media is well organised on my file system so I'd point xmbc at a smb share and navigate from there.
What made Kodi/xbmc great was the interface worked better on a couch using a game controller to navigate versus a traditional desktop where i'd be forced to use a keyboard+mouse.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoThe thing that bothers me the most is that file browser is behind 4..5 clicks while it should be there as first-class menu. Also, file lists order folders and files independently. If not for those two things, Kodi would be perfect.
- markheggan 5y agoGenerally agree, but you can set a shortcut from the main menu to file browser.
- sam_lowry_ 5y agoI googled a bit and yes, there does seem to be a way to configure a top-level file browser with super favourites add-on. For sorting, I see nothing appropriate, though. So, yes, Kodi is flexible, but too tricky for leisure use.
- l8rlump 5y agoI have configured mine to go to file manager when I press 'f' on the keyboard. You may not have a keyboard attached but it might be worth your while.
- 3np 5y agoKodi is very flexible and you can make the menus behave just like you want. Setting it up can take a bit of fooling around to figure out but it's quite straight-forward once it clicks.
