kermitfrog123 0 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Ok so I have switched from Plex to emby after hearing good things. I have emby working fine on my NOW TV box but not on my fire TV Stick. Looking at the log I am getting an issue when trying to transcode anything using the fire stick. The logs last line says No such file or directory. But the file does exist as it plays perfectly through emby on the now tv box. Edited May 11, 2016 by kermitfrog123
Luke 38823 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Hi, welcome. Can you please provide the logs for us so that we can take a look? thanks.
Luke 38823 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Does that file exist? it's possible that for whatever reason the ffmpeg process just doesn't have access to it.
kermitfrog123 0 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Yes it exists and plays fine through emby on my NOW TV box just not the fire stick Edited May 10, 2016 by kermitfrog123
ebr 15433 Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 The Now TV app may be direct streaming it whereas the FTV stick needs to transcode. Therefore, ffmpeg wouldn't be involved on the now tv and Luke's suggestion is still a possibility.
kermitfrog123 0 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 It is on a NAS drive. Would this make a difference? Should i try adding a library local to the server not on the nas and see if that works?
ebr 15433 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Is the path in the transcode log correct? It is on a NAS drive. Would this make a difference? Doesn't look like a valid network reference to me. Is your server running on Linux?
ebr 15433 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 No its a mac. Same thing . There is no machine name on the file reference but I'm not familiar with Mac network paths so I'm not sure what exactly it should look like.
kermitfrog123 0 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Im pretty sure the file path is correct as it plays on the now tv box. Ill try a file tonight in a local folder not the nas.
Luke 38823 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 It is on a NAS drive. Would this make a difference? Should i try adding a library local to the server not on the nas and see if that works? Yes please that would be a good test.
