Hijinxx 3 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Hi, When im setting up the server should I be using the local path ie /volume2/tv or the network path ie \\192.168.67.1\tv ? When I added the folders with the local path emby found the media files no problem but no files were showing in KODI, When I try and add the folders using the network path to see if this resolves the issue it does not let me add the path giving me a path error. Im thinking this could be because it cant see the network path as it is the same IP as the NAS itself so it wouldnt be able to route to it ? The folders have r/w permisson. Any ideas?

shad0h 8 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hi @Hijinxx You add the folders to Emby using the local path e.g. /volume2/tv etc. If you want your apps or devices to directly play the files, you then need to go into the path substitution tab to add the SMB path e.g. \\192.168.67.1\tv. Here is a link to the wiki about path substitution - https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Path-Substitution For Kodi to see and sync the library you need to have the emby for kodi plugin installed on your kodi client, which syncs the emby library to your Kodi clients https://emby.media/emby-for-kodi.html Regards, Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hijinxx 3 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I cant get the path substitution to work, I've re scanned my media a whole load of times. If you look at the screen shot I have attached you can see that the path substitution is there but not being picked up !!
