Hi, first time user. A problem with initial setup. When selecting content path I get the error "Make sure the selected folder is writable and that the new folder name is valid".

I'm on the latest Nvidia Shield TV Pro. External SSD and the path is within a root folder named NVIDIA_SHIELD (as can be required for some scenarios on the Shield). Tried other folders on the SSD without luck. The SSD works fine with other apps like VLC and Plex.

Tried downgrading to 0.3.0. Same result.

Any suggestion?

This is a Kodi/Shield issue and not directly related to PreShow, so there's nothing I can do within PreShow to fix this.

I have my shield set to use a network drive, but will try adding an external drive to it and will report back if I can get it to work.

I’m getting the exact same problem 😩

Thanks, Matt, that's nice of you to test it out. My Kodi has no issues with reading media from the same folders that fail here.

FIXED! It seemed like the Kodi App had all permissions (4 out of 4), but opening up "Storage" revealed it only had Read permission. Completely my own mistake.

Hopefully, @JustRob and others might find this helpful.

Awesome. Glad that you figured it out.
