martinbowling 3 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have an emby server on a vps with carefully curated content, ie stuff that will direct stream on about anything, setup for remote family. They all have Fire TV sticks, I am trying to force direct streaming, from reading this used to be an option but I can no longer find it. I also have edited the Utils.py to trick it but I don't want to have to maintain a separate version for them. Any way long story short is there a way to force direct streaming ?

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm trying to understand which settings you are referring to? Are you talking about play HTTP instead of SMB? Also, is this regarding the Mediabrowser add-on or the new Emby add-on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinbowling 3 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I am referring to the legacy MediaBrowser add on. So I have content that is MP4 (h264) with AAC audio (both 2 and 6 channel audio) the android hardware should be able to handle this without transcoding. Basically I want the MB server to simply pass the media untranscoded to client and let it attempt to play. In the current beta I changed line 25 in Utils.py to if True == True: And I get the behavior I expect. I am trying to lessen the burden on the server and let it just pass the file directly down to the client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
