Hey guys I'm writing my own channel plugin for personal use. I'm having a problem with Emby handling the meta data. Below is the log and the code causing the problem. You'll notice the log is trying to create a handle to 'C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\system\http:\192.168.1.2:44101\movie\1234\1234', which I assume isn't supposed to be like that?The media source is a remote mkv accessed via http. Please can you help me? Let me know if I've not provided enough information.

I'm writing a channel plugin which fetches links to HLS streams from external source. What is the right way to tell MBS that this an HLS stream when creating ChannelMediaInfo object? My goal is to avoid transcoding HLS streams when playing on devices which support HLS. I have tried this: new ChannelMediaInfo{ Path = "http://example.com/hls_streams/test.m3u8", Container = "mpegts", AudioCodec = "aac", VideoCodec = "h264", Protocol = MediaProtocol.Http, SupportsDirectPlay = true } but the stream is still transcoded when trying to play on Android (which supports HLS). I have written similar channel plugin for the Plex and it plays without transcoding on Android, but in Plex I can specify protocol=hls explicitly from plugin.
