CBers 6770 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Luke - I have Plex installed and it is Direct Playing content, which Emby is still remuxing: Plex Emby As you know, @@7illusions Eber also Direct Plays. Any update on getting Direct Play for Emby ET re-instated please ?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6770 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 OK, so with the latest version of ET on my Xbox One (138), it's still remuxing AC3 to AAC, so effectively transcoding and causing the XB1 to remux the AAC to AC3. The dashboard is still saying Direct Streaming, which obviously is incorrect. Ember still Direct Streams the same content, although in the dashboard it says Direct Play, which also is incorrect.

chef 3745 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Cbers, will the theater in Xbox one actually play a movie from beginning to the end? My experience has been that it stops playing about 10 minutes into the movie. Am I doing something wrong? Edited July 11, 2017 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience has been that it stops playing about 10 minutes into the movie. Am I doing something wrong? Last time I tried, mine was doing the same thing. I have since switched to Plex. At least for now. If Emby can get working properly for me, I'll switch back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Forester 1 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It is being looked into, thanks ! @@Luke I'm sure you already know, but just in case you're still chasing it down, it appears that ET on XBONE is reporting the device as a windows machine instead of XBOX One.

Luke 37049 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 What the fix for? I never really noticed a problem? Most users would probably not notice it. A defect introduced in the March Creators Update prevented our ability to direct play most video files. We had to use a workaround to have the server remux them on the fly into a different format. So basically everything was playing fine, just not in the most optimal way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techywarrior 688 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Great, will definitely try it out tomorrow (can't tonight) but that whole issue with the stream causing the Emby Theater app on Xbox to stop playback (and later just require a remux) has made me not use Emby on Xbox One for months now. (it's not my optimal playback device anyways but will be nice to have the option again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolspot 18 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Ugh, I forgot about this update and tested out the LG app instead of booting up the Xbox. I'll be checking it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
