krog 0 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Hello, I use emby together with kodi in a direct play configuration (iso playback is one reason). Path substritution is working fine with smb, nfs, sftp... because you can exactly replicate the way a manual kodi source would look. As I get better seek performance with http/https vs. smb and can connect to this kind of source from everywhere, I tried path substitution with a matching http path. Problem: The part of the file location that is not substituted does not get encoded and the http server cannot find the file. A shortend example from my access.log: Manual http(s) Source (working 200): GET /amazon/Videos/Movies/My%20movie%20name%20(1234)/My%20movie%20name%20-%20%5b1080p24.BluRay.x264%5d.mkv HTTP/1.1 200 Emby Path Substitution (fails 404): GET /amazon/Videos/Movies/My movie name (1234)/My movie name - [1080p24.BluRay.x264].mkv HTTP/1.1 404 A substitution starting with http/https:// needs to be url-encoded to work. As an alternative a switch to force url-encode would also work. Bye Joerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I really don't understand why you are doing this? You can play from HTTP/S instead of smb, using your server. Just enable the option in the addon settings > playback > play from HTTP Otherwise, a pull request is welcome since your setup is outside the norms of what the addon does.

Luke 37063 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 He's using a neat trick to host copies of his files on Amazon. Yes we can get this figured out I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Ok. And it just needs to be url encoded. I get that. But is the path to amazon in emby as a path substitution? Or was this in kodi? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
