(Optional) Shared network folder

[eremid 0]

Hello,

 

Since the last update (Version 3.0.8100.0), "Path Substitutions" doesn't seem to work. I follow the explanation :

 

To configure network shares, edit an existing media library, then click on one of the existing folders. You'll then be able to map a network path to a library path.

 

My folder /mnt/nas have aShared network folder with \\my_ip\tv

 

But in my Kodi, the file path is //my_ip/tv and not \\my_ip/tv and the media are not found

 

Any idea ?

 

Thanks a lot

i think the network path should change the / to \

 

You can test this outside of emby with just a file browser.

Hello

 

Yes, should definitely be backslashes when configured in this environment.

 

There are some notes in this Wiki article on path substitution: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Synology-:-Setting-Up-Your-Media-Library-Share

ok, but what about if i don't want to play via local network, but from external network?  So it's can't be like external ip adress, or http:\\domain.com\media
