Palan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I just started using Emby and Kodi, and most of it works great. My main problem is I have some movies in Emby spanning multiple discs. The first disc plays fine in Kodi but not the second. Is there any way to view the second disc, the same way as if they were added natively in Kodi?

cw-kid Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Just checked this out myself and there does seem to be an issue. I have the God Father collection on DVD VIDEO_TS rips. Looking on my OpenElec HTPC that is still connected to MYSQL when I go in to the God Father collection I see four titles, two for The God Father Part II - Disc 1 and Disc 2. However when I use the Kodi PC with the Emby add-on and look in the God Father collection, I only see three titles. One instance for The God Father Part II, If I play this its the first disc. The second disc is missing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Additional parts are added as playlist at the moment. They should automatically play one after the other. Can you take a screenshot @@cw-kid? Is the second disc appear in your webclient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palan Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 But will a playlist work with discs? Since they return to the dvd menu the playback would never know to go to the next disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I'm sure some improvement could be done in this area. I am not sure how it works with discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will play it in Kodi and see if the second disc is played when the first disc finishes? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If the second part is found under additional parts in Emby, then it should play in Kodi automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If the second part is found under additional parts in Emby, then it should play in Kodi automatically How do you mean? Any way to check that in the software? I will test playback for you later and see. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I think if you open the entry in the webclient, it will show you if it's multiple parts instead of playing the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 OK so I played The God Father Part II in Kodi and skipped up to the end and then let it finish. The film says insert Disc 2 and then it just goes back to the DVD title menu. I then selected play again and it just started playing the first disc again, so does not automatically play disc 2. Also when they are talking in Italian the subtitles are not in English but some other language. Looking in the Web GUI it does show an Additional Part however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ok, well I found something that might work. I'll put it together later today and have you guys try it later. I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try to use stack:// instead of a playlist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks @@Angelblue05 Any idea why the subtitles for the Italian speaking parts were not defaulting to be in English? If I play the movie in native Kodi / MYSQL its the same the subtitles are not in English either but in Dutch 1 of 8. I can go to the OSD menu and change the subs from Dutch to English manually however. Looking in the Kodi Video Settings - Playback - Preferred Audio Language is set to English Also Video Settings - Subtitles - Preferred Subtitle Language is set to English. Maybe its a Kodi thing with this particular Disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Actually if I check the settings on the Kodi PC with the Emby add-on in Video Settings - Subtitles - Preferred Subtitle Language is set to Original Streams Language but its not showing English subtitles by default either. The English subtitles are 2 of 8 on the Disc. Edited August 26, 2015 by cw-kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I don't know how Kodi handles discs. I don't know how subtitles are selected. I still haven't discovered how Kodi handles default, forced subtitles. I can't guarantee things will work the same as Kodi since we are only an add-on, but hopefully we will find a solution.

cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Don't worry about the subtitles then as native Kodi / MYSQL does the same thing and displays Dutch 1 of 8 subs by default rather than English 2 of 8 subs. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I know you're gonna hate me for this but all your problems would be solved in about 30 minutes if you ripped both discs to mkv and merged them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I don't have loads of DVD rips but I do have some, Its good to keep some movie titles in DVD VIDEO_TS format for testing such as this, I also have a wide range of sample Video files in various formats / containers, which we used to test and Angelblue05 then fixed the media info flag icons being displayed on the movie title info pages in Kodi with the Emby add-on as a lot were initially incorrect.

Palan Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 It should work if it is possible to use stacking instead of playlists. The different discs should then be accessible through the context menu in Kodi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Added it to Trello so I don't forget: https://trello.com/c/KWyYoNBg/142-try-stack-method-to-support-multi-dvds-when-playback It'll probably be after we release a new version of stable.

Angelblue05 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Sorry that it's taking so long. I'm working on it for many days trying to find a good solution without bad side effects from using stack. It is coming and I know it will solve the stacked dvd issue, however it's a nightmare with the playstate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
