M3U Playlist Compatibility w/Emby

The Emby music server works very well on my Synology DS220+ NAS (DSM7). However, I have my M3U playlists created for network access by uPnP players. The tracks are in the playlist as \\SNAS\Music\CDQ\trackx.mp3, where SNAS is the 'friendly' name for the NAS. This format will not work with Emby. My Emby music library is /Volume1/Music. So the only way that I avoid "playlist empty" error message is to reformat the track list in my playlists to /Volume1/Music/CDQ/trackx.mp3. Emby will not accept 'SNAS' or 'IP address' in place of 'Volume1', and will only accept forward slash. By 'accept' I mean for the playlist to work in Emby. 

So, is there a known solution or work-around for this issue so that I can have common playlist files between Emby and network players? Or is this a feature request? 

Thank you.

Hi, right, there is currently no way to map that. The path in the playlist has to match the path used in Emby library setup.

But relative paths are also supported.
