Connecting an optical drive over the network

I am trying to figure out how to connect to the optical drives on my server so that it looks to be an optical drive. I can map to it but either I did this differently before or handbrake has updated and doesn’t like it just being mapped to a drive letter. I would like for my desktop to think that it is a locally installed optical drive. Handbrake doesn’t have any issues picking i up on the server, I just have a lot more horsepower on my desktop. My kids would like for me to put their newer movies on Plex.

I assume you rightclicked the drive in the server and shared it, and have mounted it on the remote machine.

Only thing I can think of is Windows being weird with the drive being assigned letter A
