Direct Play / Stream

Recommended Posts

Just noticed that the app says the video I am watching is Direct Play, but in the Dashboard, it says it is Direct Streaming.

 

I always thought this app was Direct Play, which tends to indicate something wrong with the reporting to the Dashboard.

It's always direct streaming since Emby serves the movie and tv is not able to play from file systems like smb share.

Chess has always said it Direct Played and not Streamed, but I noticed the log in the app says it is streaming just like the Server says.  The info screen says it is Direct Playing though.

Might be a change with the server?  I looked way back and found some movies that Direct Played (or at least the log says it did). 

 

Subtitles neither auto play using the server settings or are selectable since a server change awhile back also.

I never had a video that direct played, although it says like that when entering info on the remote. Chess said this:

 

None of my videos direct play, all direct stream (the server passes the video to the player, the tv's dont have network share capability) so im almost certain it isnt a path issue (unless you have issues in other clients) - VOB support is very limited, and its most likely that that is causing the  problem.

I'm sure it always used to, as I've restarted the server whilst watching something without issue, but now the playback stops, which is how I discovered this.
