Playback problem

June 6, 2015

I've tried to search but had a hard time to find anything useful to help solve my problem.

I have Emby on Ubuntu, and the Kodi client running Ubuntu works fine. But then I thought I should install Kodi on a Windows client to be able to test things. Syncing works fine, but playback dont work.

This is what I get in the Kodi log:

I do understand that the direct path to the file dont work, but shouldn't the file be streamed to the client if that fails? Maybe there is some setting i'm missing? But I guess that it should be possible to have Kodi on different clients/OS and all could use Emby server as the provider for files?

No - you need to fix your path setup in Emby Server or you can turn on 'Play from HTTP instead of SMB' as a work-around.

Ok, so I should use path substitution to fix that?

Anyway, tried to enable HTTP instead, and got this in the log:

I enabled path substitution, but get similar output as above. But I see that the path is correct. And it shouldn't be a permission problem, since I can open the file from Explorer.

You need to use UNC paths.

\\server\path

not

Thank you for helping me. I actually find it a little amazing how big patient people have on this forum. Even stupid people get answered =)

Anyway, a small step forward, but still not playing:

Okay.. Now that looks pretty much right. What version are you using beta or stable?

And Emby for Kodi is version 1.0.02.

It should be beta, at least that is my intention. I always have a hard time to wait for features and things when I see them added to the source. And don't mind reporting bugs as I find them.

Sorry, missed the Kodi version: Kodi 15.0-BETA2

Oh - that is the problem 0.02 has a bug. Go to the repo and do force refresh and you should get .03 which should fix this. We will hopefully have .04 out later today with an announcement of some great new features. .02 and .03 and definitely test releases and may have bugs!

June 6, 2015

Thank you, works fine with 1.0.03 =)
