Hello,
This problem is about the Android TV (provided by my "Freebox Mini 4K Player" - France).
There is two component of my Freebox (Internet Box) :
the "server" unit with an external hard drive plugged through USB based on a "private" OS (based on linux - Freebox OS);
the "player" that is my Android TV unit;
I would like to use my AndroidTV to emulate old games (console, computer, etc.).
My Android TV has a very little internal storage (about 5Go). So I would like to store all my ROMs/Emulators on my external drive plugged to my "Server".
How can I access this external drive from emulator App (like ClassicBoy) ?
I can access the external drive on my Android TV using "ES Explorer > Local Network > Scan" and it find it. But, out of ES Explorer, I can't access it anymore.
As a tips : It seems that the link through the Local Network use the samba protocol to join it.
Thanks for your coming answers.
Regards,
Any idea about that please ?
if you need more informations, you could ask !

My WiFi router has a 32G flash drive plugged into its built-in USB port. All my Windows based PC's in my home, can access that flash drive as a network drive.
Is there any way that my Android devices (Droid 4, generic Allwinner tablet) can also access that drive? Of course, when they are connected up to my home's WiFi network.
I have been searching for such an app, unsuccessfully, though it is entirely possible that I am simply not using the correct terms when searching.
Just to add, both my devices are running ICS, and have been rooted (if that makes a difference for the answer).
You can use ES File Manager it allows for Samba / FTP file sharing it is a fairly strait forward app and you shouldn't have any difficulties using it.

Hi,
i have this simple configuration.
Philips Andoird TV PUS6501 (Android 5) + External HDD
PC (Windows 10)
What i want is to copy files from my PC to the HDD wich is connected to the TV.
I heard this was possible with Android KitKat but since Android Lollipop the function is gone.
I heard what i want is possible if i get root and set up a Samba Server (wtf never done something like that before)
I heard root is possible but only temporary (with the dirty cow script) but i didnt find any tutorial for my TV nor did i recive any help in the Philips Android TV Thead.
So what can I do to get write access when the HDD is still connected to the TV?

Share the files on your PC and use X-plore or ES file manager to copy the files from one to the other. Another possibility is using something like Cetus Play on the TV side. It can set up a simple web server that will accept uploaded files.

Hello,
I have a JioFi dongle with a 64Gb micro sd in it, to facilitate local wifi storage. The difficulty I face is that, i cant seem to get a seamless synchronization with the data stored in the dongle.
Earlier I used to have ES file explorer and I used to set it up along with my pc within a LAN network so that I could easily share files wirelessly by simply setting permissions for the folder to be shared.
But now I've moved to the open source world, and I could hardly find an alternative to make it possible with my WiFi dongle. Syncthing did cross my mind, but it needs the recipient device to have that installed as well (which is not possible since in this case the device is a dongle).
Eventually, i have to use a browser and share the files through it, with every time logging in as admin. That is tiresome.
So, any possible method I could implement here ? I only need a file explorer like experience so as to easily stay in sync with the data stored in it.
TL;Dr - Any method by which I could sync and access the local data stored in a portable wifi storage, perhaps a file explorer (preferably open source) ?
I am wondering if it is possible to mount a samba share as a local usb device in android? Also, I don't have the means to root my phone.
Thank you for your time.
I need to present network movie folder (accessible via wifi/SMB) as USB stick for my TV (like Drive Droid, I have root.
We are a community of tech savies that have limited access to internet, and all of us have "SANDISK Clip Sport" MP3 players. We are loading custom music on our devices via OTG.
Android version: 6.0.1
Phone model: SM-S550TL
OTG Checker = all verified
USB storage doesn't list under Settings - Storage
USB storage isn't listed in " My Files"
USB storage isn't listed in " ES File Manager" nor " Xim"
ONLY able to copy files using " OTG Disk Explorer Pro" which lacks capabilities of copying to USB from SD card and cannot delete or modify files from USB storage.
Also, "OTG Disk Explorer Pro" frequently gives a file system error and can't access several of our USB storage devices, giving error "Drive cannot be opened. Please check if the file system of USB is FAT32 or NTFS!!"
Unfortunately, rooting the Android phone I'm using is NOT an option.
I'm sure with enough research I'd find the answer, but with the very limited amount of direct internet access, I'm asking my community to assist.
I'm also having problems with transferring music to the mp3 as well but I have figured out a few tricks that you might would like to know you can use the automatag app to remove all the covers then just load the song again on the mp3 and it will take it off the mp3 same will work if there is a bad song just make sure the name of the file is the same also I figured out if you rename every song as numbers before you put it on the mp3 if you wanted to change the song with another you can put a new song on with the same number and it will replace it but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to read when it says unknown file type just keep resetting it and also try scanning it on the computer may help also don't let it freeze up to long or it will make it stick to where it won't load anymore music you just have to watch it and if it starts to freeze unplug it fast hope you can use any of this info good luck
