Gooner_X1 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I upgraded to the latest release, 3.2.0.0, today and after that path substitutions where removed from all libraries. I added again as they were before, i.e. nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Movies, but Kodi is unable to open the path. I also tried as an smb share with credentials specified. It Does work fine from Ember on Windows. I switched Kodi to use http instead of smb, and that worked. However, I would prefer to run as nfs.

If that's really how you're entering the nfs path, you're missing a colon in front of the folder, ie, nfs://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/Movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37099 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 If you're testing in the emby for kodi app, you will probably need to let it resync after making the change. I'm guessing mastermind11's suggestion is correct so you probably want to try putting it back and then letting the add-on resync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37099 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So it may still need to be mounted in order for kodi to see it, correct? Because the path coming out of the server looks fine (based on screenshot). It's just that Kodi can't reach it and we need to find out why.

Gooner_X1 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I've changed the path substitution to /storage/movies and mount the nfs share to that location. The files then play as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfilkins 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I ran into a similar issue, after an upgrade earlier this week, all of my path substitution definitions for my video libraries were gone. Kodi would fail to play back any videos as it was trying to load from a local path, instead of the network path. So an upgrade managed to wipe out some settings there somewhere.

Solution Luke 37099 Posted February 9, 2017 Solution Share Posted February 9, 2017 I ran into a similar issue, after an upgrade earlier this week, all of my path substitution definitions for my video libraries were gone.

So an upgrade managed to wipe out some settings there somewhere. @@cfilkins, yes we were a little too hasty in deprecating the older method of path substitution. we are going to restore it so that other users who haven't yet updated to 3.2 will not be affected. What you will need to do is go into Emby library setup, then click on a library, then click on a folder. From there you can edit the corresponding network path for that particular folder. Apologies for the disruption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner_X1 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Well done. So the new solution is to edit an autostart.sh on an libreelec/openelec etc setups so that network locations can be reached? Not sure that's a solution for a network based media server.

djhifi 55 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Well, a little before this new patch I had path substitution but a while ago when you moved its placement to the library section (and individual for each folder add) from within the server all of the path substitutions i had set up were gone BUT not a problem on EMBY for KODI side. Its still direct playing altough i now have 0 path substitution setted up. "wtf" ? is this an expected behaviour?

djhifi 55 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 @@Luke Well, i have to take it back. 2 of my volumes on synology, altough correctly scrapped and inserted onto the EMBY server are now unreachable via emby for kodi addon. I have setted up manual path substitution for those 2., Do i Need to make a repair or manual sync in the addon in order for the paths to be updated and see if it works? Im on 3.2.0 server and noticed a 3.2.1 upgrade (not yet available on synology clients), Should i wait for it before tinkering with this? (i mean, does that minor update adress this issue?)

I thought once i've altered the path sub on server side, all movies addon side would acccess but it seems i need to resync addon side. Question is, which method? manual sync or repair? (i also have series pooling). And also, do you advise a final slash (/) on the path or nope? For instance: source: /Volume1/Array-1/Filmes (HD8)/Movies -------> emby server does not list a final slash in here path substitution: \\SYNOLOGY\Array-1\Filmes (HD8)\Movies or Movies\ ?
