How add a "remote library"?

[Schimi 26]

Hi,

a friend and i hade both Emby (premiere, if it´s necessary).

We both like to integrate the media folders from "the other" to his own library...

we had tried over a FTP-Server... but emby don´t take ftp paths.....

have anyone a good idea?

It wopuld be great if we only had access to this specific folder (read only) and not to the entire LAN... (we think about a VPN, but we "throw" the idea away....

He had a AVM Lan and i a ubiquity

Hi, the simplest solution would be mounting to local paths and then adding the local path into your emby server.

?!?! 

I have a few questions.  What is your upload and download bandwidth.  What are you trying to accomplish.  Obviously just giving each other access to your respective servers would let you see each other’s stuff… but it sounds like you want other people to see the combination of both library’s without having to get the other person to share access with people they dont know etc.

If that is the case… are you are actually using a file share… so lets say you were to mount it with whatever magic you do it with.  You start playing something.  Your server is going to have to download the entire file as it serves it out to whoever is watching it.  Like the entire file.  Is that workable?

Mounting things over the internet…hmmm .. without a VPN.  People do something interesting things with onedrive.  I haven’t ever done them but I have seen it.

I think NFS v4.x can be done over the internet .. I haven’t done it but I do use NFS 4.1 with multipathing in an esx environment.  If you get it working I would like to know.

Cheers,

@Luke Hi Luke, what if you want to add a shared folder, but you are running the emby server from an android box? Mounting to local paths seems it can't be done in android. Any other workaround?

The shield can, but you're right, not all Android devices can.
