TL;DR Help for dummies getting a USB drive connected to my modem/ router USB port to show up on my new LG C1 television.
I don't care for the buit in media player that comes with the LG. Also I did not know (or research) before purchasing how proprietary the webOS is on the LG.
I am PLEX ignorant and/ or figuring out how to stream my 4TB USB drive to the TV preferrably with the computer off.
My media player of choice is KODI (I only use the player, I don't stream with it) which I used without problem on my Android TV. KODI is not available for webOS. It was suggested to get a dirt cheap Amazon Firestick Lite and install KODI on that which I did. What I failed to understand even after doing that the Firestick does not see the USB drive when I plug it into the back of the TV.
It was then suggested that I try and do this with plugging the USB drive into the back of the modem/ router. The instructions left me dazed and confused. Mapping a network drive and SMB were terms that threw me.
Is there a for dummies picture guide that will show me the exact steps on how to do this from the moment after I plug the USB drive into the back of the modem/ router? TIA.
