Playing music stored on a CIFS share via nVidia Shield TV?

by KnitYourOwnSpaceship

Does anyone have suggestions for apps to play music stored on a CIFS share?

I've installed VLC for AndroidTV, but there's no option to add network shares under settings -> directories, and the network option just says "directory is empty".

The Google Play store has plenty of apps for streaming Pandora/Spotify/etc, but nothing to play music from local file shares.

Have you looked at Kodi (formerly XBMC)?

I know plex let's you do do this.

Google play ended up being easier for me. Let's you upload your music to the cloud.
