Evadebug 0 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Greetings First let me say I am truly impressed with Emby and would love to use it much more. The SETUP I have an old computer and decided to turn it into a media server for the household. The parts are quite old but I managed to Install and set up TrueNAS 12.0-U7, I am not the most knowledgeable about it but through the aid of guides got the pools and acl's down. I installed the Emby pulgin (not the one called "Emby Server") through the comminity selection of TrueNAS. The version of the Emby plugin is 4.6.7.0 We have a Samsung Smart TV that i want DlNA to work, due to location and age of tv, I will not be able to install the Emby app. The house is on a set of static IPs: The TrueNAS server runs on 99.66.0.230 I have used the VNET within Emby Jail configuration to run on 99.66.0.231 The Samsung TV uses 99.66.0.249 The computer I use to access the web gui of both TrueNAS and Emby is 99.66.0.1 The Problem After all configuration and coping over some test moves to try, the computer I use work absolutely fine playing on firefox 95.0.2 The problem is the tv, After awhile it does discover the Emby server, and I can open it. Being just in the folder select screen if waiting for ~30 seconds it will close and a error will pop up saying Disconnected from server and then the server name and nothing else. If I am quick and access the movies before it disconnects I can get the movie to load and run just fine, but after the time elapses it again just disconnected. The Emby server is still there to be selected though the source button but the pattern repeats now matter how many times I try. The Plea With this I would like to ask for help, I am sure I may have just made a setting mistake ( As this is my first time setting anything like this up). So if any one could just give me help or point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated. I have attached the server log during this time I have made multiple attempts to try access the TV. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37099 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi, I notice you're direct playing an mp4. Are the audio and video codecs something the TV is documented to support? Is it high bitrate mp4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evadebug 0 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 @Luke Thanks for getting back to me The TV can indeed run the video and audio when I use a usb. But even with emby server I can get the video (with audio) to run fine if only for a short about of time, normally if the TV can't run the file the TV will give a "file format not supported" error and not even open it.

Luke 37099 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Hi, is it a high bitrate video? Are you sure the TV can handle it over the network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
