mastrmind11 717 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 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?

brett069 0 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36884 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 do i need server on laptop and shield 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
