Please post a log, for some reason it think it needs to stream insteadnof play directly.

From what I recall if you stream it will select the default audio language as set in your media browser server settings. If you play directly you can choose from different audio streams as you would when using the Kodi library.

 

Have you tried with a different skin? And as xnappo says its important we know if it is direct playing or streaming.

If you're not using local SMB connection the files will be transcoded by the MB3 server. In that case you'll only get the default audio track that's in your MB3 settings.

 

How did you setup XBMC and MB3 ? Are you on a local network ? If yes, did you fill in the correct credentials to the SMB path in the XBMB3C settings ?

The XBMB3C addon will Always try to play the file directly (direct play) and if that fails, it will fallback to streaming (transcoding).

 

You can easily see if the file is beeing transcoded in the infoscreen.

While you play a movie, press "i" (info) on your keyboard/remote and right above the Movies title it will display Direct Play or Transcoding.

Since you didn't provide a log, it is a guessing game to know why it's not Direct playing. There are two important steps to make sure Direct play is enabled.

 

First step: Navigate to the settings of the XBMB3C add-on (Enabled Add-ons > Video Add-ons > XBMB3C). Once you've entered the configuration panel, check the Network tab. Make sure Play from Http instead of SMB is disabled and restart XBMC. If that doesn't work, check step two.

 

Second step: Make sure you are using UNC paths for your library folders. If you are unsure what I'm talking about, check this link, to see if your setup is correct within MediaBrowser Server: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/703-how-to-make-unc-folder-shares/?p=21632

You can also check path substitution which does the same thing. I am not sure how it works exactly, because I use UNC paths myself. You'll have to do a quick research of the forums for more information about path substitution. This step is to ensure files are fully accessible (your added folder paths should look like \\computername\Movies instead of D:\Movies, this is just an example...)

 

Let us know how it goes.
