christophe.ferrandon 1 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) My Emby Server setup: Debian 7 (command-line) on ESXi 5.5 : Xeon E3 1240V2 - Guest VM : 4 cores 12GB RAM. I’m an Emby newbie so after testing the latest version it seems that Emby can’t play MKV video material on a web browser and on a Panasonic Viera TV. So my question is : is there a way to send "smb/cifs network video file path" to VLC when i click « Play with an external player » because it’s, for me, the only way to have a full HD video quality. I’m not sure that web browser will ever do the job. It'll combine great presentation/infos/pictures in Emby and full quality of direct video file playback. Best for your support Edited June 2, 2015 by christophe.ferrandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophe.ferrandon 1 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi everybody No answer ? No way to send or copy/paste "SMB path to video file on the server" to VLC in order to play the movie in full quality VS HTTP poor quality way of doing it. Is there a possibility to create a custom metadata field "direct file path" for copy/paste it on VLC or Mplayer X ? I love Emby web portal interface and features for Photo/Music playback but not for HD movies. Others Media center suffers from the same problem. I hoppe I've missed something ...

Deathsquirrel 741 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 You've posted this in the feature request forum. If you're looking for support from other users I suggest posting your question in the server or client forum for the server/client you're using. I'm guessing that's the Linux server or DLNA forums.
