Share libraries using UPnP |
UPnP can be used for limited sharing of media files between two Kodi devices.
UPnP cannot share library functions and is a file only sharing protocol. If you are looking for full library functionality, UPnP is not the method to use.
For a more complex method of sharing using MySQL see MySQL
- For Kodi device A (the "server") go to:
- Enable the UPnP server (Share my libraries)
- For Kodi device B (the "client") you will need to (1) enable UPnP support in Settings → Service Settings → UPnP/DLNA and then (2) add device A as a media source: Videos → Files → Add Videos... → Browse → (scroll down to) UPnP Devices
- A shows up there. Open the share and then hit OK.
- Give the new video source from A a name.
- You should now be able to see everything as it is set up on A on B.
