tbkn 3 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 There used to be a tab in Libraries to setup path substitution, but now it's nowhere to be seen. Where did it go to? I can't find it anywhere and can't use external players without it. Previous: Now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution mastrmind11 717 Posted January 6, 2017 Solution Share Posted January 6, 2017 They moved to per-library since 3.1. Click on a library, click on the path, and in there will be an optional network path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djhifi 55 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 And btw, if we previously had set up path substitution, we will need to do it again, per library, right? I ask this because all my path subs. are blanked out and Im having errors on some HDDs when I try to play files from them, saying "not acessible". Not all tough...which is wierd!

Everything still should be backwards compatible, but if you are having issues you will have to manually remove the old way to add the new way. Shut down server open system.xml (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\config) find <PathSubstitution> section and delete the everything between the nodes <PathSubstitution> </PathSubstitution> Save start server go to each library and add the network path.

horizonbrave 1 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm reading the same wiki and I'm also confused.. can't find that setting anywhere. Wiki says to use the Metadata Manager that to confirm everything is allright.. mine seems fine (I can see movie's data). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) I'm reading the same wiki and I'm also confused.. can't find that setting anywhere. Wiki says to use the Metadata Manager that to confirm everything is allright.. mine seems fine (I can see movie's data). Cheers Well when you create the library and add your folder you can see the "(Optional) Shared network folder:" option, but you can click on your Folders and bring up the option again (not very intuitive).

horizonbrave 1 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 [...] but you can click on your Folders and bring up the option again (not very intuitive). Well I could have tried harder By the way I'm actually not understanding if I need to specify that path or not (sorry).. files and server are on a Synology NAS unit. Folder has been added and everything seems to work fine, please do I still need it and where I find it (the path itself)? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need this if you use apps that can truly directly access the file system. This would be limited to Emby Theater Desktop for Windows, Emby for WMC and Kodi I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37062 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 And even then you don't really need it. It's just that some people like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
