You originally said you wouldn't describe Direct File Access as being “rejected”. Eric has now made Emby's position quite clear: the feature isn't considered beneficial enough to warrant further development, and that position is currently not being reconsidered. So I'm genuinely interested in your view now: would you still say that “rejected” is the wrong description?

@ebr Let me remind you about the DTS HD High Resolution issue – you kept putting that off back then, until I got absolutely livid after three months. Or what ever happened to the person who, from one day to the next, could no longer record TV programmes? I don’t know what became of it – but I reckon, after two years, it still hadn’t been sorted out. So much for all the effort you’re putting in. I’m more inclined to think this is just defiance on your part.

Still an issue after Upgrading Emby to 4.10.0.40. I had to reaply the patch from @zabbie82.

hi, what are the steps to reproduce, starting from the moment the app is launched?

HI, we'll take a look at it. Thanks for reporting.

Cant connect to server on my appletv so is useless for me. Crazy that it is not an option to delete de account

HI, please show entire screenshots so that we can see context. Thanks.

Hi, no, it will end up copying everything in the copy data dialog, so quite a bit more than that. It's on our to do list to make this more granular.

OK please let us know if that helps. Thanks.

Enjoy.

Hi, what exactly happens?

How is it non-standard?

HI, you also could just step through the wizard and do nothing other than press next on every step and that would have been fine.

option does not exist

Actually, it is pretty much a legacy concept. It is there from the very early days when it was necessary for mounting ISOs and such. It was put in to support "Emby Classic" which ran in WMC. That is no longer today's world. That is your prerogative and I'm sorry this is such an issue for you but we have a very long list of other items to work on that will provide very clear benefits to a much larger segment of our user base. That is where our energy is going to stay for the time being.

@ebrYes, I know you're not reconsidering it. That's precisely the problem I'm criticizing. The functionality is already part of Emby's server architecture. The “Shared network folder” field exists specifically so that Emby clients can access media files directly. As you've just confirmed, the Windows client uses it, while the Android clients don't. So we're not discussing some exotic concept that doesn't belong in Emby. We're discussing an Emby feature that already exists, was previously usable on Android TV as well, and is still used by other Emby clients. The Android implementation stopped being maintained after Android/Shield changes because you decided that too few users benefited from it. I understand that decision. I simply don't agree with it. And “we are not currently reconsidering it” doesn't really address any of the arguments made here for reconsidering it. It only confirms that you currently don't intend to. Which is evidence of a lack of professionalism. Which, incidentally, brings us right back to why I originally described Direct File Access as being “rejected”. @yocker Ironically, it was precisely this setting on the server that made Direct File Access possible in the first place. Not just on Kodi, Linux and Windows… no, on Android as well.

@GrimReaperthanks again for the quick fix! @ebrand @Luke, being that it sounds like my directory structure is "non standard", any recommendations or suggestions to avoid any update issues in the future? I don't mind uninstalling and re-installing emby if necessary, providing I can migrate over my config and not have to re-setup my users/libraries...

Thanks for the response.. Yes I think so ...... Looks a bit too involved for me so I will stick with the "Emby for Fire TV" Will try "Emby" now and again in the hope it gets fixed!

4.9.5.0. But my initial install was over 10 years ago.

You rock! system.xml was under the \config subfolder. I changed the flag from false to true and looks good now!

Yeah, what version were you running before...?

I was asking because i wanted to be sure of the conversation. Must admit i have gotten a little curious about the smb thing.

Hi, there's already an open request for this or something functionally equivalent. Please join in and contribute to the existing discussion at:

@LukeHow did all folders ended up nested under main server folder? It is either a really old install/incremental update or something has got amiss there in the update process; anyway (as your server seems to be running as it's accessible from other devices), do you have system.xml there under \config subfolder?
