mastrmind11 717 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Share your folders (preferably via NFS since you're on Linux), point Emby server to the share, install the Emby for Kodi addon on your Kodi client, point it to your Emby server, let it scan. Voila. Edited February 15, 2017 by mastrmind11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37333 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 @@gabasr581, when you created your Emby libraries, did you fill out the optional network path for each library folder? if not, you can go back and do that by clicking on each folder and then entering the path. Let us know if this helps. thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabasr581 0 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yes i did it. local path is: /mnt/disk/movie "shared folder path" is: //192.168.0.7/mnt/disk/movie is it enough??thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabasr581 0 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 hi guys,i wasn't able to get a good result! i shared folder by nfs; i can see the folder on my pc client (so i suppose that shared folder is working) but there is no way to get a direct access from kodi addon "emby for kodi". if i choose inside addon setting "native access" i get an error message because addon can't find any folder at net path //192.168.0.7/diskname/foldername...any suggestion?

I have simply mounted the two folders on a local path and i can get access without any issue. on the other hand,When i try to sync emby from kodi on my HTPC (192.168.0.9) there is no way to get a direct access!

gabasr581 0 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 On pc client i have installed nfs-common, then i've created these two folders: /mnt/nfs/film and /mnt/nfs/film2.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) When he switched the path mode, did he reset his database? Make sure the playback mode is set to addon under the addon's settings. Press Ok. Then, reset the database by launching the addon and scroll to the bottom, reset local database. That should resolves it. Edited April 13, 2017 by Angelblue05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabasr581 0 Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Hi guys, i reset local DB. Do i have to change playback option from "native" to "addon"? Is not "native" the correct option for direct streaming (without transcoding)? Edited April 13, 2017 by gabasr581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
