Adding Path Substitution

[Servman 1]

Hi All,

 

I was hoping i could get some help with Path Substitution.

 

i have upgrade to version 3.0.8200.0 (latest version) and i can see that the Path Substitution has move to Libraries and with in the folder.

 

i have some old paths the i would like to update and it is not allow me to add the path. it say it is a invalid path.

 

im running emby on a Ubuntu Server 16.04 with Samba

 

the layout iim using is:

 

smb://<username>:<password>@<IPaddress>/Media/Movie

smb://<username>:<password>@<IPaddress>/Media/TVShow

 

can someone confirm this is the right way

 

Regards

Hi @@Luke,

 

Thank you for the quick response.

 

When it was under the Path Substitution i have it was below.

 

Folder Path: RAID/Media/Movie

Path Substitution: smb://username:password@192.168.1.100/Media/Movie

 

I have my Media folder shared with Samba.

 

but i have not allow a Guest user for read on cause i would like for the user to log on

 

this is being used for Emby Kodi addon.

Hi @Liuke,

 

I have gotten it working,

 

with the window style of the below

 

\\<username>:<password@<ipaddress\Meida\Movie

\\<username>:<password@<ipaddress\Meida\TVShow

 

I'm happy with this if it stays  like this but maybe this should be documented somewhere so everyone knows.

 

Whats your thoughts?

 

Regards

I would not include the username and password in the path. Instead, use the regular ip path without user:pass, and navigate to your content in Kodi and enter them once prompted. To navigate to your content, you can just go to Kodi settings > addons > install from zip > navigate to your content.
