Playback of recorded video

[muehlberger 4]

Hi forum,

I'm using the plugin 3.7.5 with the current version of NextPVR 5.2.4.220103 and Emby 4.6.7.0.

Recording video works fine, live tv works fine. BUT playing a recorded video through Emby does not work. It just plays nothing, but no error is presented. I ticked the option "Allow unauthenticated access for streaming Live TV / Recordings" in NextPVR.

The "transcoding-temp" directory is filled up with lots of files.

A part of the logfile (ffmpeg-directstream-de7e6122-fe93-4c71-a6ff-c2d592e64291_1.txt):

Calling the URL 192.168.0.140:8866/live?recording=881 in a local browser just brings up an empty player control. Playing this url with VLC works fine.

Am I missing same configuration? Thx for any help!

NextPVR is supplying the raw ts file correctly, that is a Emby video issue so you need to provide normal Emby support logs for the Emby team.  That snippets isn't complete but I do note that AC-3 is not being transcoded which could be a concern if your client cannot direct play.

Further to you comments direct browser playback of  recording would  need a special type of mp4, if that is something you actually want there is an option in NextPVR to create them after recording.
