mMO 0 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Hello, I need to play files over HTTP instead of SMB, so I can use external players and don't have any transcoding. - like it's possible in Emby Plugin for Kodi. Is there already a function for that or will that feature be implement in future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mMO 0 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sry, I don't get it.. There is a Status 200 in log files and I see that VLC is trying to open a file via SMB. Can you help me please? theater-63565414451.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37054 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 well there might be some issues with external players that need to be worked out, but it should work fine with the internal player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mMO 0 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 yeah internal player works fine, but I want avoid transcoding because of the high cpu usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37054 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 the internal player is going to have the same capabilities as vlc. so if transcoding is the concern, there won't be any difference. just go into settings and configure your desired bitrate and it will work fine and direct stream as much as possible.

mMO 0 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 I thought it is up to the available codecs and did not mention the Max Streaming Bitrate Setting.After increasing Bitrate, Server CPU is zero while playing. Problem solved, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
