I'll have to do some more looking into the Kodi issue, but the RN104 is displayed differently on the Windows 8.1 machine than it is on the Windows 7 machine. In Windows 7 when I look at the Network view in Windows Explorer the RN104 is listed under the sections for Computer, Media Devices, and Storage. It's only listed under Media Devices and Storage in Windows 8.1.
Also, it is displayed under the My Computer view in Windows 8.1 but isn't displayed in that view in Windows 7. When I browse in Windows 8.1, two of the movies aren't displayed at all, while all the movies are displayed in Windows 7.
The only time that I can see all of the movies in Windows 8.1 is if I enter the IP address of the RN104 in the location of File Explorer. Then it also shows up as a computer under the Network section.
It just seems like there's something that's screwed up with DLNA to have missing files the way one version of Windows sees it and to have music files showing up as videos on my media player in the living room.
