    under system
    file manager
    on the right hand side navigate to your usb and your file
    on the left hand side navigate to
    profile directory > playlist > video
    select your file and copy it to the video folder

    exit to home
    video > playlist
    and see your file
    play it

    you just renamed it
    you have not changed the file extension

    whatever.strm

    not

    whatever.strm.txt


    on your pc
    tools > folder options > view
    you need to untick
    hide extensions for known file types
    save

    rename it

    thanks for the help ozzsurf,,, much appreciated.

    i dont know what the issue was,,,i tried the usb flash drive in another box runnng kodi and the file showed up,,,,,also pasting the you tube link into the file dosent work....it needs to be like the following " plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid= "

    after the = you need to place the youtube video id
    now to look for a way to show icons for the videos..,also multiple links can be used in the .strm file

    yes your right about only the youtube links
    written like this
    plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=
    with the strm file

    I don't use the kodi player with kodi
    I use vlc as the player with kodi
    so I still use
    the youtube link written like this in the .strm file

    Code:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbyYPEhlxoU
    as with all the addons the streams from kodi open in vlc
    reason I use vlc I can see the real stream url of any stream
    and use that as I wish

    to show icons for the videos
    you have to make a NFO file
    Code:
    http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files
    for multiple links

    Code:
    #EXTM3U
    #EXTINF:-1,youtube1
    plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=6as8ahAr1Uc
    #EXTINF:-1,youtube2
    plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=ZcUIpoInaS8
    #EXTINF:-1,youtube3
    plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?path=/root/video&action=play_video&videoid=ym4uVS-5tSA
    save as .m3u
    and add to kodi video playlist
