patm95 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi all. I have emby for kodi streaming movies and videos from my Unraid server. I really like the program however I've noticed that I can no longer stream blu ray isos. I think it is a result of using Emby as it was working fine before. Is this a known limitation of Emby?

Luke 36876 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 As long as you give Kodi direct access to the ISO file it should be fine. When you configure your Emby library make sure to supply the optional network paths, and make sure the paths are something that the kodi boxes can reach.

I can give kodi direct access to the Iso files out side of Emby. Then it works (or course). But I don't see how I can get Emby to manage the library of Isos and get Kodi to play them.

Luke 36876 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes that should just work. What exactly is happening when you try to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patm95 0 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well if I have Emby manage the Isos, I get an "item failed to play" message. If I manually put the path in kodi to the Iso, then I will have two copies of the iso in Kodi. The one whose path I have manually put into Kodi works fine, the other gets the "item failed to play" message. I could just use the 1 manual path and remove the blu ray iso from Emby, but I thought that would defeat the purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36876 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi @@patm95, this should work. I think you need to configure native playback mode in the Emby for Kodi add-on. @ does that sound correct for iso playback? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
