Path substitution


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All,

 

Emby server Version 3.0.5675.1 is installed on a Win8 VM - unRAID server.

Client is Kodi HTPC with Emby.

 

I recently set up my emby server and I am now planning to configure the path substitution i.e. when playing media files at home, I want to stream the media directly to the clients, instead of transcoding. I tried to set it up (see below) and I noticed it is still transcoding instead of playing directly.

 

Any suggestions on how I can fix this would be much appreciated. 

 

Regards,

T

You didn't substitute anything.  Both sides are the same.

 

How are your library locations defined?

If the paths to your media are already UNC you should not need to use path substitution

You shouldn't need to do that. Your path are UNC already, the add-on will automatically converts them to smb:// client side.
