Windows Network Shares

by betam4x

Hi everyone! If you are are having issues accessing network shares on your Android TV device, follow the steps below and it should fix you up.

  1. On the Windows machine where you are sharing from press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to show the run dialog, then type regedit and click ok. Make sure to click yes if the administrative prompt pops up for you.

  2. Carefully navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters in the left hand pane. Once you click parameters, right click in the right hand pane and choose new -> DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it IRPStackSize.

  3. Double click on IRPStackSize and enter 31 in the dialog that pops up while leaving Hexadecimal selected, then click OK.

  4. Reboot. You don't have to reboot (you can restart the 'Server' and 'Computer Browser' services instead, but it's easier just to reboot usually.)

  5. You should now be able to access your network shares. Enjoy!

Is this really necessary? I have been accessing my network shares from NAS and Win7 computer from KODI and "Solid explorer+mediaplayers" without problem.

Kodi on the Mi Box can see my Windows 10 shares no problem.
