Is there anything reason I should care about this? I mean doesn't someone have to been my network to access my computer? Should I delete that message? Internal IP addresses are fine. People typically blur out their public external address. Yours is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4222 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 ok - so I would change the share name to just 'MOVIES' - or 'MOVIESMAC' - basically remove the space - it just complicates things. On the SHIELD you need to follow instructions to then MOUNT this (MAC) network share to the device. The mount will be along the lines of - \\192.168.0.101\MOVIES (or whatever you called your share) or it may use the name \\MB-AIR\MOVIES https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44002058102-android-tv-storage-attachment Finally - in EMBY (running on the Shield) you need to then reference this mapped drive AS LOCAL STORAGE - something along the lines of - /storage/MB-AIR/MOVES/ or /storage/192.168.0.101/MOVIES add this as highlighted below. Note this uses forward slashes, not backslashes. You should just be able to add /storage/ and it should populate all the available shares below it. If you get stuck - then maybe reach out to @cayars who may be able to assist further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14903 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Yeah, this is what I was about to post. You are skipping the step I suggested in my first response. You need to get that share mapped to the device first, and then point Emby to that. Please let us know how you get on when you get back to it. Thanks.

nickysilver 9 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 the shield set the MacBook air, it's listed, but for some reason the connection fails as often as not. (it never fails the other way. the mb air can always see the shield.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickysilver 9 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) MB Air is mounted on the shield. "connected." I changed the name of the folder to MOVIESMAC (no spaces). I changed the file sharing on the mac to MOVIESMAC folder (read and write for everyone) The folder MOVIESMAC is showing as mounted share. I tried both the options rbjtech suggested. I still get "The path could not be found. Please ensure the path is valid and try again." Here's the thing. I think it's time to throw oil the towel. I will still use Emby (and recommend it to people). I bought a lifetime subscription. But the purpose of this library is just to test movies before I add them to the main library which is on a hard drive plugged intro the shield. I still have Plex for that purpose. (Plex allows different servers for single users, so the MB AIR is a separate server, but shows up under my account on the shield.) I REALLY REALLY don't want to seem ungrateful! Everyone has been TREMENDOUSLY helpful and patient-- but this seems rather undoable by me. As you see above, the shield is connected to the MBAIR, it sees it. But I cannot seem to point Emby to it. And I gave it my best shot. But I think it's time to let this ambition go (along with the Nobel Peace Price, astronaut, and fireman.)

rbjtech 4222 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 ok - no worries. The hard part is actually done - if the shield can see and has mounted your MAC share - then you are almost there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickysilver 9 Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) ok... One last try. CONTENT TYPE: Movies DISPLAY NAME: MOVIESMAC I hit the plus sign. What should I type in "FOLDER" And then what should I type in (optional shared network folder) I think I've tried all variations (PS. RBJ, you are in London? I live in Covent Garden and o volunteer work at the local Oxfam!) Edited August 16, 2022 by nickysilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
