Question about setting up Path Substitution


ayeroff

Recommended Posts

I apologize if this is a dumb question (I feel like I should be able to figure this out, but have been unsuccesful).  I have my emby server set up on my Windows 8.1 HTPC, with Emby for Kodi.  I'll be running 2 client PCs (also with Windows 8.1) using Emby for Kodi.  

 

I'd like the clients to be able to access the server directly over my in-home Wi-FI in order to avoid any transcoding, but I can't seem to get the Path Substitution set up correctly so that the clients can access the server directly.  Here's my setup:

 

The media is stored on 4 hard-drives in my HTPC used as my emby server:

E:\Movies

E:\Kids Movies

E:\TV Shows

E:\Music

F:\Movies

F:\Kids Movies

F:\TV Shows

F:\Music

G:\Movies

G:\Kids Movies

G:\TV Shows

G:\Music

H:\Movies

H:\Kids Movies

H:\TV Shows

H:\Music

 

What should my path substitutions look like?  

 

Thanks!

You need to share each folder you have, when you do this, it will tell you the network path to access it, which is what you want to put in the To section.

 

Then in the server path substitution:

 

From: E:\Movies To: \\networkshare\Movies

 

You don't need to remove your library sections, just follow the network share steps only if you are unsure: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/703-how-to-make-unc-folder-shares/
