thank you for your reply i have tried the hard drive with movies on the usb at the front but it would not mount due to low memory at the moment i have just reimaged meelo flash memory is 110.5 meg free , i have done a small build of 1gb of kodi not sure what else i can do apart from running kodi seperate from the meelo thanks
Have you attempted mounting your externals on your network, creating samba share from that so it opens it up to potentially any device you can login from.
I have never done any of that, but i just made my raspberri a NAS drive with a massive 64gb USB 3.0 as an experiment, now I will see if I can connect to that via Kodi on vuuno4k.
All in the name of fun.
Edit - mounted fine, can see my media, but only play via internal player, aint looked at settings or what not as busy.
But may be worth a look

Ok, I have it working 100% and playing fine from a NAS drive I literally made today. With zero previous experience.
Here is what I roughly did.
I set up a 64gb USB on a raspberry pi3 as a samba share/NAS drive, which is now part of my windows network.
I only did above as had no other way, you would most likely need set up your EXTERNAL drives on your network as the same.
I then proceded to mount the nas, media wouldn't play in Kodi until I found this from @DirtyDonki
"/media/net/my network share"
So I mounted with Enigma2 and its it on my network servers now.
Then IN Kodi
Set up Movies - then sources - pointed to my NAS - then jobs a good one.
Works on Kodi 17 on vuuno4k - nvidia shield Kodi 17 also.
Plus IPTV player on enigma2.
I had no build installed, I edited skin from within kodi to just show
Movies (from my library i.e my nas)
Tv shows (same as above)
Addons (be addons I have installed on the device)
So my advice would be, look into adding your externals to a windows network as @Banny I think mentioned, or buy a nas lol.
This was first attempt and have to admit this is oretty cool ha

hi thank you for your help and advice ok i have connected the external hard drive to my network as shareing i tried this first on my pc with kodi on it and it worked but when trying it on my meelo se and kodi it keeps asking for a username and password but i did not create one so i am abit confused why its asking for one thanks
hi i have trying this all day without any luck really , i have got my movie drive on my network on my pc when i go to kodi on the pc it has no problem finding the drive , but when i try the same thing on meelo se kodi it keeps asking for a user name and password or i can get the movies to show but they wont play i have no idea how to solve this , thanks
The "network drive" you make, needs to mounted outside of Kodi.
On the actual enigma2 interface itself.
That's if you use that method.
Or but external in, then try map that external in "kodi" and go one by one.

hi thank you for your help and advice ok i have got my dvd hard drive on my network location , i have go to my meelo se then setup , system,network,mount setup,network browser, it sees my hard drive on network browser , now it says network mounted do i just go to kodi and add through nas thanks
If its mounted correct, in theory when in Kodi i.e Movies you can
goto roots fileystem - then MEDIA then it will have your network mount i.e /media/net/nas or whatever its called.
if not, have a look/play about.
thankyou for your reply , ok i have gone to root , media, then autofs,and i see the desktop pc and media but they wont open up i have noticed that the meelo has got samba share but not sure what it does thanks
