u should consider that this is really meant for 1 purpose, keep kodi's sync and have a updater kodi on a server without keeping a client awake, if you want todo so, setup a local kodi, setup media folders as network shares (pathes will be a hard time ...), etc etc ... and it works nice, but actually not really your usecase ...
look for emby, plex, or even tiny media manager therefore just for watching your library ...
like advised before here, easier for you now to hndle and even a better user experience for your case
