Emby Sub Download Location

Hi

 

Back on MB plugin, when downloading subs using the Kodi plugins it saved in the server location where the media was located. On Emby it saves on the client which in my case is my Cubox and not on the media location on the server.

I'm not sure what you mean, but the Emby Server subtitle download feature saves it with the media

How is your playback set? Local(SMB)? Remotely(HTTP)?

 

I'm guessing if your paths are set properly and Kodi has access to it, it should put your subtitles in the actual content folder you are watching. Otherwise, it will put the subtitle file on the actual device.

I'm pretty sure subtitles downloaded via Emby are playable on Kodi locally and via HTTP. So it might be the better option for you. :)

Yeah I am using HTTP but all subs dont download to the Emby server only locally. I will check on kodi forum.

Thanks

Ok, when you use HTTP playback, it will set the Filepath of the content pointing to your HTTP Emby server (http://yourembyserver:8096...). It does not point to the actual File path(\\yourserver\Movies\...). This is why Kodi is failing to put your downloaded subtitles in the actual folder where the item your playing is located.

 

In this case, what I would suggest is for you to download your subtitles via your Emby server. This way Emby server will place them where your content is. Then when you play via HTTP, you can load the subtitles without having to download them to your device first. It will already be available to you.

 

Does it help? :) It's not a Kodi issue.

That helps thanks.

Will try that or switch to SMB and see if that fixes it but I got plackback issues on smb.

If you have playback issue with SMB then it usually means your media folder paths are not set correctly. Do they look like C:\Movie instead of \\servername\Movie (this is just an example)?

 

If so you just need to use path substitution in your Emby server > Library

Just follow this post to properly create your media folder share: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/18957-questions-about-kodi-addon/?p=184882

 

Then under your Emby dashboard > Library > Path substitution

From: D:\Movies
To: \\servername\Movies - Note that servername can be anything you want (avoid special characters)

After this, you should be able to directly play your items (meaning you are playing via SMB). This is only for local playback. If you are not home, then play from HTTP is what you need to use  :)

I got UNC paths set up correctly.

Only happens on 720p or higher files.

I will have a plat around with the settings. :)

If you can provide the log from when you try to play the 720p or higher, it might give us some indication as to why you are having problems. 

 

See my signature if you need help with the log. Thanks :)
