xnappo 1593 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Everything in that DB is still pointing to the plugin path. Are you sure you selected 'Use direct paths' and then reset the DB? xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Do you mean "Use local paths instead of addon redirect for playback"? If so then yes did it 3 times and also reset the DB every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 When you reset the db you said 'NO' to reset all setting right? Otherwise it will reset the 'Use local paths' setting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) You need to enable the Direct path settings before resetting your database - If you use the reset database via the add-on settings, then make sure you press Ok after switching the direct path otherwise I believe Kodi will just revert the setting. @@xnappo the only thing I can think of is the setting wasn't enabled beforehand. I have just tested on my side, switching between plugin and direct path and everything is working correctly so I'm not sure.

FlyGuy94 6 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 @@xnappo @@Angelblue05 nope sorry that didn't help either. Did everything as instructed in the right order. I'm still confused what the option actually does and what is happening. To my understanding it tells kodi to use the local storage on the sd-card but with symbolic links to the media folders. So when it tries to access it kodi can see the entire folder and the files in them. Is this correct? So the problem is that the symbolic links aren't being picked up by kodi cause it doesn't find my files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The option replaces the path (plugin://plugin.video.emby/) with the actual network path that points to where Kodi can find your content (network path smb://) So Kodi does it's thing, looks into the directories and will find your external subtitles files. Can you click on videos > files > Add videos.... Then select smb and navigate to where your content is. Does it ask you for a username and password to access at some point? Let me know.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Well that's different because you don't have smb protocol attached to your paths. If they looked like smb://media/movies then Kodi would find it because that's what we validated. However your paths are nfs? I'm not familiar so I'll let someone jump in to assist you in setting them correctly so Kodi recognize them.
