Right way to configure music troug emby using windows smb

Hi All,

 

Been using emby for years.. last 2 years with kodi. A gold compbination for me.

Movies and Series are working just fine.  Music is alwasy a struggle for me to get it working right.

 

Outcome 1:

All my music is visible after a long initial sync. But when i select a song to play, I will get the message : unable to play source.

 

using: Emby music on, and not defining a music library in Kodi. and direct play option in emby

 

 

Outcome 2:

Al my albums are visible twice, there is a difference in metadata (f.i. the wiki like info about an album, that is missing on one of the 2)

Both the albums do play.

 

using: emby music, and defining the kodi music library through unc path to my windows10 server box, wich runs emby server.

 

 

 

 

I Think it has to do with the network credentials i have to put into the emby plugin, but the example given (////server//path//c) is confusing to me..

If my server name is  "Gaia-1701LC"  and my music is on the share "music" normaly i would normaly say \\Gaia-1701LC\music\

 

is this right? or do i have to make some other setting changes.

my goal is to have only emby providing my albums and metadata.

 

 

setup:

HTPC PC using WIN10 X64, Kodi 17 and latest emby plugin 

SERVER PC using Win10 x64 running latest emby server. (shares accesible through win account credentials in workgroup)

 

Thnx Guys.
