You would also need those file paths added to the Library in Emby too (But I assume that is already done). Then you need to ensure the Emby Kodi Plugin (Required for all this btw so I hope you have it installed on Kodi) is configured (under Plugins>Emby Plugin>Configuration) to play media direct and not stream. To: (Example: \\MyServer\Movies (a path clients can access)): Looking at the examples they give I would say it would go as follows:įrom (Example: D:\Movies (on the server)): \mnt\user\nas\Movies You get to enter a substitution with a From and a To. As I mention in my previous post I am quite happy playing them over the server via http. By allowing clients direct access to media on the server they may be able to play them directly over the network and avoid using server resources to stream and transcode them."
The description there for this setting is "Path substitutions are used for mapping a path on the server to a path that clients are able to access. The section you want for your path issue is under the Tab: Library>Path Substitution Anyway, I don't "think" it is turned on by default so if you haven't been in there to turn it on, you should be good. The settings for this can be found under the Tab: PlayBack>CinemaMode. As I mentioned above, one of them is CinemaMode but there are also features such as transcoding etc. You don't need any plugins installed in Emby to have some of these features enabled, some of them are packaged with Emby by default. I have powerful enough htpc's to handle the native playing. My server is not quite able to do the streaming properly. How does one setup the relative paths? I have my media collection showing up properly in Emby Server and Kodi with the Emby addon. Any chance you can elaborate on the above? I do not have any plugins installed in Emby.

Plus it also gives me transcoding options in the future if I want them. TBH though, I think the additional features are cool, I find streaming from the Emby web server is no different than from a SMB share. Also you need to ensure the option in the plugin settings is selected to not stream. In order to fix this you need to ensure that all the additional features are turned off and also checked the option with respect to relative paths. fast forward, chapter skip etc etc all work just as if it was being played natively.
There is actually no loss of quality and or functionality by the file streaming (as it is not being transcoded).

I found it was because I was using some of the Emby additional features such as Cinema Mode (whereby which trailers would be played prior to a movie based on what the movie was) and this could only be achieved by streaming so it could put the two video files together.
