Luke 37178 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi, that's very odd. I don't have your exact devices available for testing but on the devices I do have I'm able to launch external players. Can you pull a log from the app: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/15638-how-to-report-an-android-problem/ Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37178 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok, I understand. That's not supported by the internal player as of yet. We do use libvlc and libvlc does support it, so it is possible, but we haven't implemented it yet. You'd have to use an external player for that right now.

Ianmcw 0 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Luke isnt that the same build you gave me earlier? update: I tried streaming my iso via vlc over my LAN itself also via file explorer and it works fine, I can start movie can select chapters and extras all works fine sounf works good but with emby it doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ok, I think what's happening is we're sending a streaming url to the external player. i should be able to fix this by sending the original network path to the file to the external player. (or adding an option to do so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37178 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hi, can you please try this build and then provide the log? it's going to send the original media path to the external player. thanks. android-amazonarmv7-release.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37178 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Ok, your iso path on the server is E:\Kids Movies\Bambi.ISO Add a path substitution on the server to convert that path to a network path that the device will be able to access. For instructions see the bottom of this wiki page: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Library%20Setup Set that up, try to play again, the provide the log. thanks.

Luke 37178 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 And here's another build that adjusts the way the path is formatted when it goes to the player, prefixing it with file:// to make it a valid uri. thanks. android-amazonarmv7-release.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
