Allow "Shared network folder" path in M3U playlists

[mediaGuy 8]

All my playlists are M3U, usually made in Windows Media Player.  All my devices/programs can share the same M3U file with the exception of Emby since it needs the absolute path.

If Emby could do a swap internally so that the absolute path could be deciphered from the "(Optional) Shared network folder:" path, it would be great.

Example:

Library Folder: /mnt/Music
(Optional) Shared network folder: \\192.168.1.6\Music

M3U needs to be:
/mnt/Music/Songs/Backstreet Boys - Crappy Song.mp3

Would be great if Emby could figure this out based on shared network folder name so that this would also work:
\\192.168.1.6\Music\Songs\Backstreet Boys - Crappy Song.mp3

Hi,

Any updates on adding this? It would help a great deal when sharing playlists between different players!
