wimK 1 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I read and tried a lot of things, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help me, please? I have Kodi, Emby (webif, chrome, http://localhost:8097/web/index.html#!/home) and OBSstudio all on my windows desktop. With obsstudio I am recording the screen to a ts-file (also tried mp4) to a local directory. In Emby I have to scan the library of the directory where obsstudio saves the file or reload the webpage (why is this anyway???). With Kodi I can playback the recording-in-progress and it just keeps on playing. With Emby (transcoding on? see a bit further) it stops at the point where I did a library scan in Emby of the directory where obsstudio saves the file. So I thought it must be because Emby is transcoding. Therefore in server settings, users, <user>, media playback I unchecked the bottom 3 options (I think this is how I should disable transcoding). But now Emby says "no compatible stream". In the debug log (attached) I see "The process cannot access the file 'C:\Temp\2022-02-06 10-54-27.mp4' because it is being used by another process.". Kodi can play the file, while being used. Am I doing something wrong? And if I am not doing anything wrong, if Emby just can't do want I want, is it possible to accomplish this in another way? Maybe using ffmpeg or another piece of software (opposed to Emby)? Would I would like to accomplish is using Emby local, I don't need to scan the library after the recording started and it just keeps on playing. And not-local I would like to see the transcoded version and that just keeps on playing too. Thanks in advance. Wim logs.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimK 1 Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Update: I searched for the error above and found that maybe an ffmpeg process might still be running. So I checked, but it wasn't. So I tried again and now I see this in the logs "ffprobe failed for file:"C:\Temp\2022-02-06 19-26-26.mp4" - streams and format are both null". See logs2. When I changed to output format of the obsstudio file to ts, I again got the " System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Temp\2022-02-06 19-38-20.ts' because it is being used by another process." error like before. See logs3. I think the first issue means that the mp4-format isn't working for emby. logs2.zip logs3.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimK 1 Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 And yes, I do understand that the file is being used my OBSstudio itself, but why is that a problem when not transcoding? Kodi doesn't have a problem with that. So am I doing something wrong or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37259 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 HI, currently library files in Emby Server are expected to be completed files. That's something we'd have to look at supporting in future updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimK 1 Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I didn't expect that for non-transcoding playback. Too bad. Looking forward to this new feature in future releases because otherwise I really like Emby. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
