this would happen when i play file with webdav in emby kodi next gen

 

kodi can play files normally if i directly open that file, so i assume this is a emby addon problem.

I didn't check webdav for a long time, quite an edge case.

I put it on my "review list"

thank you, I just tried the same settings with embyconn, it can play normally.

 

the reason why i use webdav for kodi for emby next gen is, all protocals except for webdav (such as ftp, smb, nfs) are only giving me less than 10mbps play speed, webdav can give me 50+

Sounds you are running in native mode? Have you tried addon mode?

I just tried, both modes are behaving the same, however the problem might be the space in file path, i can play files as long as there's no space in the path, i assume this has something to do with the space encoding in http urls. (also if the file path contains exotic characters other than english, it can't play, this is also due to the encoding i guess)

I checked, and yes the spaces/special characters are an issue. I'll fix it in next version.

Please try this version. A full database resync is required.

Hi, thankfully it works, thank you, but in my setup, files without space in path would only take seconds to open but files with space would take one or two minutes

Very strange, actually there is no reason why files with spaces should take longer.

Please send me a kodi debug log (via PM)
