SOLVED: Path substitution for files on NFS or Samba server

[qwerty12]

The option to add shared network folders from the web interface got removed (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pull/5098), but they are still obeyed if set. It's mentioned on the documentation for the Kodi plugin ("Starting from Jellyfin 10.9 it is no longer possible to set the shared network folder.").

I have no idea how to set those paths via the API, but you can still set them by editing Jellyfin setting files directly:

1. Shutdown Jellyfin
   
2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Jellyfin\Server\root\default\ (or the *NIX equivalent in your case)
   
3. Open the options.xml of the library you want to add a network path to, and add a corresponding <NetworkPath> element underneath the <Path> element. Example:
   
   Code:

   <PathInfos>
    <MediaPathInfo>
      <Path>C:\1</Path>
      <NetworkPath>\\192.168.1.1\C$\1</NetworkPath>
    </MediaPathInfo>
    <MediaPathInfo>
      <Path>C:\2</Path>
      <NetworkPath>\\192.168.1.1\C$\2</NetworkPath>
    </MediaPathInfo>
  </PathInfos>
