Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Whenever I start content I just get a spinner. This just started and at the same time as the scrunched in upper left corner issue in the other thread. I have not changed any playback settings in the server or in Emby Theater.

Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 I am posting two logs. The first is with the native player and the second is with external player MPC-HC64 enabled. The second time it loaded MPC-HC but did not start the video file. I can play this file directly from the shared network path and MPC-HC opens on double click, goes full screen and switches refresh rate as it should. From ET? No dice. theater-63613054605.txt theater-63613107680.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) A server log just in case.. server-63613054535.7z Edited October 27, 2016 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) A bit more info..I right clicked MPC-HC and selected recent files and there's my file at the top of the list. I selected it and it starts playing but I have to manually go full screen.Are there settings to be made in the external player settings to fix this?

Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 BTW.. WMC is running in the background as I fire ET with a Harmony 900 Remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 You didn't fill out any command line arguments? No. I suppose I need to do some wiki reading(?) but that still doesn't address what's going on with the native player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 You're right it doesn't. But for MPC, you need to find whatever command line arguments it expects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on the Emby Wiki for ET and it is sparse. I don't remember having to do anything special when loading MPC-HC from MediaBrowser Classic Configurator?

Luke 37049 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 EMC knows how MPC works, in other words, it is baked right into the app. ET does not, we'd rather focus our energy on the internal player. That means whatever external player you are using (in this case MPC), you have to check the documentation for that player and find the command line values that it expects, and the values that will result in the behavior that you want. Â So without any command line params, you are just telling MPC to open up and not do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I can't tell you how MPC works because i have not used it in years, but surely there must be a command line param to tell it the path to the video that you want to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 ok. So what would be going on with the internal player? Â Anything in the logs? Â Will we see more controls al la MadVR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 I got it to work with the parameters {path} /play /close but for whatever reason the stop function on my H900 (MCE) remote doesn't work so I posted that here. Â Anything on the internal player? Â I changed it from CopyBack to Auto but that is it, I'm using MadVR in the ET player, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'm still getting a spinner on the native player. Does anything peculiar show in the logs I posed? Â Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 the embedded lav filters is failing to load. It this folder empty? C:\Users\i5 Home Theater PC\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Theater\ComObjects Either way, try shutting down the app and then deleting that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'll need to check that when I get home and report back. Are the LAV filters included in the installer or do I need to grab them and put them in that directory? If it is the latter, I can pretty much say that they are not there because I don't remember putting them there. Should I use the beta 3D filters? I have some 3D content that I'd like to convert from BR iso to mkv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 They are included, and no, just use the defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 735 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'll look. I don't know why they wouldn't be there but one never knows.. What about MadVR? I have that checked but it is already registered in the directory for use by MPC-HC. Will this cause a conflict if it is registered twice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundmarsh 1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 This is a similar problem to what I am experiencing. I referenced TV shows Hanging when in auto play, I also get this from movies and random shows. spinner of death is a good term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
