cvika 2 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I install server on Win10, name is MEDIASERVER - local IP 192.168.1.13. My test library have UNC path - \\Mediaserver\w\HDMovies2. On other machines install Kodi 16 and latest emby plugin. On machine where is Win10 OS (not server, IP 192.168.1.2) Direct Play working OK, but on Ubuntu not working at all - raise error on initial scan. "Kodi can't locate file W:\HDMovies2\..." (yes/no) - if hit yes, library is visible in Kodi but not working, if hit no - no library at all. My password.xml is same on both machines (Win10 and Ubuntu) (same user, and same password). I test smb share form Ubuntu machine and working ok - create source smb://MEDIASERVER/W/ and I can browse folders and play movies from HDMovies2 folder. I play with path substitution and no luck What I can do more (or where I mistake) to enable Direct Play with Ubuntu?
mellomade 141 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 If the direct path to your movies is W:\HDMovies2 then your UNC path should be \\MEDIASERVER\HDMovies2 - just remove the \w from your path above.

Thank you, I try but not working - path not exist. Again, Kodi on another Win10 machine work OK with \\Mediaserver\w\HDMovies2 path. Edit: W:\ is shared on server machine (and all files and folders on disk) Edited March 14, 2016 by cvika
Solution mellomade 141 Posted March 14, 2016 Solution Posted March 14, 2016 If W:\ is fully shared - and 'HDMovies2' is located in the root of that drive (and not nested in a folder 'w') then I don't understand how you have this working because the paths would not match. Is there something I am missing? Maybe try making sure the path name is correctly match case. Or I would suggest using the IP address to the server rather than the server name. I have had issues on my systems resolving share names from Windows servers in Linux. 1
cvika 2 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) IP address work OK - finally Now new problem - trakt not working - movies sync OK, shows nothing EDIT: After last beta update (Version 3.0.5903.0) working again! Edited March 15, 2016 by cvika
