You haven't been particularly clear about any details regarding your actual setup!

Were these network drives specifically mapped, or configured how?

Please list the actual devices you're using for a start & which operating systems they're all running, including the OS version or firmware versions? What other devices (if any) are involved in the process? Which version of XBMC/Kodi? How is your network configured, (i.e. all ethernet, mostly ethernet or everything possible is wi-fi)? Details about your router, network switches, do you use DHCP for IP assignment, reserved IP's or set static IP's on each device individually, (as some examples)? But, include details & as much additional relevant information as you can. (Not just, "I have a problem with Windows & Kodi after a sys repair, please help" ;)"!!! You'll get nowhere fast that way at all!)

Forum members will do what they can to help you but there are potentially a lot of variables involved with problems like this & nobody here has developed psychic powers yet, (or if they have they're keeping it a closely guarded secret ;).)
 
hello
ok you are asking me too much question i'm noob haha , i will try to list what i have :
kodi v18.8
win10
minix
router
switch
everything is connected by cable i think by IP i say i think because my friend do configuration 1 year ago and i dont know much

so be aware: EVERYTHIN WORK JUST FINE on my network till i yesterday clear computer with that windows repair program in my opinion as he make log out on all my browser pages he probably move password or something or he delite some back up thing from old network settings maybe is something else but my noob head think it that, we check hetwork settings in win and they are ok, disk are shared ok so it is not problem

today i open new user and try to connect but got same problem when i ad settings inside KODI i got same error and he is probably because that patch network because disk is on old user not on new user i made, is it possible somehow do that old user alive not use this new one i made today

You still haven't actually told us which MINIX device or devices you own. That would certainly be a good start ;)!!!
 
this is how my pc looks
that windows repair program change for example program i use for mp3 he change to some microsoft player for listen music, media player in PC i have VLC he put his microsoft program and things like that, he probably change something in network maybe pass or name or move my user profile, or he move server from my pc i dont know but i suspect on things like that

Please read (all) :
https://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_video_sources

It is there in point 4 (set content).
After you do that you can go straight to movies/tv shows and all your database library information is there.

For more information about kodi please visit kodi forum.

As far as the U9-H itself or even Kodi are concerned, just leave them at their default settings for brightness/contrast (or any other settings that could actually alter the picture). Ideally, it's best to make all of these necessary adjustments on the TV itself as they're generally much more effective & you'll have more options for fine tuning to your preferences as well. (If you have a half decent & recent model, the TV itself will also store & remember any adjustments you make for each individual HDMI input. Ergo, as long as you always keep the U9-H connected to the same HDMI input on your TV you'll only need to set it all up once for the U9-H in general. (If you need to make minor tweaks or adjustments along the way after that, you can obviously do so as required.)

Otherwise, not really no!! It would be incredibly difficult indeed to give any advise on what you're now asking from photographs of your TV screen due to a whole variety of different factors involved!! (Not to mention, we all see differently too & we each have our subjective preferences.) Even if you took screenshots of all the individual settings themselves (& there'll literally be several dozen of them to go through at a minimum), someone would need to have access to an identical model to be able to advise you on the matter with any degree of certainty. However, even then it's impossible to be 100% accurate trying to do things remotely like this as you're now asking. (This is precisely why some people pay a small fortune to have their TV's professionally calibrated in place. Even with the most popular mass produced TV's & although technically identical on paper, the display itself can vary greatly from one individual TV to another.)

Your best option regarding these particular settings would be to try the "AVForums". (And no, we can't link you there directly before you ask that too ;), but they can be found very easily with a simple Google search - AVForums).

Once there (its layout is very similar to this forum), just browse to the TV forums, then go to the Sony TVs forum, & then browse through the threads for your "Sony [your-model] owner's thread". (If it's a common/popular model, there could be a high number of posts from other owners that also have your model who may have shared all of their ideal picture settings. Some owners post up their settings in great detail too, sometimes including all of the settings they're using following a professional calibration as well. As briefly explained above, two identical TV's will rarely calibrate identically but you can at least use someone else's settings that they've posted up as a rough baseline & then adjust whatever you like to get everything how you want it with your TV.)

Bear in mind that your own subjective preferences will also be a factor. While not always perfect too, the top TV manufacturers such as Sony don't do a bad job these days with factory settings for each respective model. They're not typically miles out. (The problems can often start because of the same issues already mentioned above with mass production & subjective differences which is why modern TV's come absolutely loaded with so many user adjustable settings.) A fair majority just don't ever bother adjusting anything other than a handful of the most basic settings required though. (Those that want to get neck deep in attempting to calibrate a TV themselves or start to trawl through a TV's more advanced settings are typically in a minority.)

When all is said & done, your own two eyes are the best place to start anyway & you'd already know it yourself if anything was way, way off. If something doesn't look quite right, then adjust one setting at a time & only make small adjustments, & then see how those adjustments have helped, (or not). Also bear in mind, adjust one setting on a TV & it may in turn throw one or more other settings out. So, small adjustments, trial & error, & be patient ;)!!
 
@S0nic
I agree with everything @ArcticWolf has said.

In addition you could check out AVSForum and RTINGS for TV settings advice/suggestion.

My suggestion.

Return all TV settings to default
Find and select the default setting that you prefer most.
Turn off all "TV Enhamcement" features
Adjust Black and White levels (using AVForums Picture Perfect Guide)..these are the two most critical settings
Now you can try out any TV enhancements you may want to try, or slight adjustments to the various colour settings your TV may have
Do a final Black and White Level check.

Note: some viewers like to have 2 main setting profiles, one for Daytime ( Bright) viewing and one for Night ( Dark).
Of course not all viewing media is equal ....often you have to find a compromise setting.
