Hello all

Thanks for your reply

As i mentioned i also posted this on the emby forum In thant forum they suggested to set the client to native playback

this helps in achieving what i need however 
this is how far as it goes 

once i did this I went to Kodi to build a playlist

Kodi produces a playlist with the following information
#EXTINF:0,Badfinger - Day After Day
/media/music/Classic Rock 2/Badfinger - Day After Day.mp3    
 
This path kodi will not play 
 
so i edit the playlist in notepad and replaced
/media/music 
with z:\     (in my case this is my mapped share)
and i replace any other / with a \
 
and then saved the playlist and
 
I copy the playlist from the userdata playlist music folder to my shared folder
 
Using KODI's path substitution for each pc 
all my pcs using kodi have now an updated playlist 
 
voila kodi now finds and plays the tracks regardless of which pc i am using

This is an easy workaround, its not elegant but it works 


Thank you for looking at this on a saturday I would consider this solved
