tekfranz 6 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 It seems like my files play fine with Direct Play. But Vp9 and some webm seem to be a problem when playing remotely. I see there are options to use pre-transcoded files like the Folder Sync Plug-in. I would be happy to transcode my library to a different format if it would work better.

tekfranz 6 Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) The transcoding issue is resolved . My transcoding path was set the old windows path so I blanked it out. Now videos are transcoding successfully. Not sure about the backslash error yet. Edited February 13, 2023 by tekfranz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Is this a new install on macOS? did you port data over from windows at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekfranz 6 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Yes, it was a port from Windows using the Backup plug-in. Mostly seamless so far, except for me not re-configuring the transcoding path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 OK, that's just a path stored in a windows convention that won't work on other platforms. I don't have a quick answer at the moment. We'll have to think about a strategy for this. If the playlists library is the only one impacted then you could try removing it from emby library setup and then creating a new playlist so that it gets recreated.

tekfranz 6 Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Ok, great idea! I did not think about deleting it. Here it goes. I will keep you posted as to the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8296 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Was just going to say what path is shown for that library via Libraries you could just probrably edit the options.xml file for the library. But Removing library should work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekfranz 6 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 So far, so good. I recreated the Playlist file and no errors in the logs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
