so you want your server to be the shield and play stuff on your laptop?  yes, that's pretty much how it works.  What path are you talking about though?  The path on your shield to find your media on the external hdd?  or the URL to emby on your shield so you can connect from your laptop?

this what i told another member who responded to my post,

 

thanks for reply carlo

normal 16gb shield,  4tb drive is  connected by usb and classified as removable storage, not shield memory

if need be i can change it to internal shared storage ,would have to mount it i guess

i have only 1 movie ,which plays 1 min then stops  says not enough speed to play movie , and it dosent show on storage drive , must be getting it from my laptop???

also 2 videos i have show up in movies and  home videos & photos , dont know why in both

have music on my laptop but dosent show in media  server ,dont know how to get them on server

 

do i need server on laptop and  shield ? how about player on both also

No, you pick one for the server, either one you want. Then you need an Emby player app on the device you want to play from. Does this make sense?
