Playing music files kept in PC on android tv

by doxypoxy

I am looking for the best solution to replicate Spotify's behaviour for playing local music files from one device on another, i.e., I can control playback of music on my pc and play them via my android tv box (Mi Box 4K) (it's attached to my amp/speakers). Which app can do that except Plex?

I have tried Plex but it's casting feature is awful, constantly breaks off after playing 3-4 songs. Another problem is that pressing the skip buttons skips 2-3 songs in the playlist. Basically my experience hasn't been great. I have used the web browser app, Windows app, and MacOS app. ALl behaving similarly.

Add a share from your computer as a source in Kodi, that should do it and you don't need to install anything on the PC side
