bluejoe247 1 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ok, well, I guess I'll give it a go, first post/question, I really have tried to find the answer before posting, but, anyway; Wanting to Direct Play to EMBY Theater... is that the correct terminology? At least the real issue is I want to play DTS HD Audio. It seems my server is transcoding, which ends up not being DTS HD Audio. What am I doing wrong? Log attached is from Win7 HTPC Thank you anyone for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi, welcome. You'll want to ensure the app has direct access to the media files. take a look at our wiki on library setup. you might want to see the path substitution section at the bottom https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Library%20Setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejoe247 1 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi, thank you very much for taking the time to respond, I'm sure you must be a very busy guy; so I thought if he could play the trailer Info InternalDirectShowPlayer: Playing Path \\EARTH\USA\Media\Movies\Florida\TRAFFIC\trailers\trailer.mp4 then he should be able to play the movie: Info InternalDirectShowPlayer: Playing Path http://192.168.69.140:8096DeviceId=URANUS&MediaSourceId= ...... or does the above mean it IS being transcoded? I though I had UNC paths defined correctly, but I will certainly look at path substitution as you suggest. so then if I have it setup correctly, from within the web browser I should see the path substituted? i.e. M:\MOVIES\FLORIDA\..... ? Thank you again for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14851 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes, that path indicates it is streaming from the server. You shouldn't see "M:..." you should see "\\EARTH\..." like the trailer. If you defined the library with a drive letter, then you will need to setup path substitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejoe247 1 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hi, well, clearly I am still confused. If he can see the trailers, why could he not see the movies? They exist on the same path. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14851 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 There could be some other reason they aren't direct-playing. I would post appropriate logs. How to Report a Problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36879 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 ah it's a bluray folder rip. it's transcoding because those are still on the to do list for the new emby theater app. everything else should direct play as you're expecting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejoe247 1 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 very good, thank you for your time! I'm sure blu ray's will be supported soon. Does he support ISO's? btw, your architecture and support is awesome, I'm happy to be a supporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejoe247 1 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 Well, it is definitely different now; unfortunately, I still seem to be doing something wrong. There are a lot of error reports, did my server install not go correctly? Then, do I need a profile for EMBY theater? Not sure I would know how to set up a profile... thank you very much for your support so far! server-63596040075.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would know how to set up a profile... thank you very much for your support so far! Can you please start by describing your issue in detail? Also you declined the .net framework 4.6 installation. That's OK for now but if you continue to do that, future versions of Emby Server are going to fail to run.

bluejoe247 1 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 oh, sorry, still trying to direct play a blu ray rip through EMBY Theater, without transcoding; Didn't intentionally decline .net, I will try to correct that. Is that precluding me from direct play? Thank you very much for your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36879 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 No, you just need to install and run the app. And if you want it to play directly over the LAN then you'll need to make sure it can access the media paths directly. Check out our library setup wiki: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Library%20Setup Let us know if you're still having trouble. Thanks.

Hi Luke, I maybe wrong but I notice bluejoe247 mentions ISOs a bit further up before he asked about rips. He is perhaps trying to play ISOs?

bluejoe247 1 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Trying to Direct Play a Blu Ray Rip without transcoding: ok, I did a re-install of the server, install .net, and things seem to be much better. I played the same movie within EMBY theater, the video is 1080, the audio is DTS, which was the original goal in the first place. I then go to the IE user interface, and the server indicates the movie is being played, but "transcoding" is displayed; (in the thumbnail) I know I'm being a real pain, but I just want to understand and get a good working foundation of your product, which I think is awesome, by the way. Thank you for your patience. server-63596124655.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 On the theater side it does a very simple file system check with the operating system. It checks if the directory exists \\EARTH\USA\Media\Movies\Florida\Alien Vs Predator If yes it direct plays. If no it transcodes. There could be any number of reasons why it might return no, including that it just doesn't have access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
