i mean an example of the url to the iso file that enter into vlc

 

are you saying you've mounted your own http server?

at a basic level, what exact method are you using to play an iso in vlc directly (without emby)? thanks.

sorry had to pop out for a bit,

 

the way i have been playing my iso on phone is by copying them from pc to phones ssd card and playing from there using either file explorer or vlc to play.

I never set up to stream over network with vlc as i thought emby with the app would be much easier. if i need more movies on phone i would just convert them to mp4 for my grandson to watch but when i built new htpc ithought emby would take care of that with the app to save converting all my movies again

Ok, I was able to test this by sending an iso through the http server directly to vlc. I don't think this is going to work because in order to examine the contents of the iso, Vlc needs full access to the entire iso file, and not just an http stream.

What we could do is allow ISO's to be synced in full with the sync feature. Would that help? Then you can open it with vlc.

Or I can update the sync feature to sync the full iso down to the phone, and then use the external player function to open it with vlc.

to sync the full iso would just ake up a lot of space on phone is this  correct?

 

if so i would be better looking into another option just to stream the movies?

I'm not aware of any option that streams the contents of ISO's. It's just not an easy thing to do. If you're willing to convert to video files, then we'll have no trouble streaming them to your grandson's device.
