Dariusz 14 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) So I have this issue where whenever I stop a video playing through kodi from my emby server, it goes straight into a checkmark (completed) instead of the half circle which should allow me to continue from the stopped point.. A little bit on the background of how it happened.. Basically I have 2 NAS running with one having emby server on it.. NAS1 has videos1 and emby server, while NAS2 has videos2.. Videos1 when played through any device I can stop and continue from the stopped point when I play through kodi.. Videos2 has been added to emby library using smb:// and those videos when i play using kodi do no allow me to continue playback after a stop and mark the file as completed.. I attached a log and between 11:08 and 11:10 today i tried playing some videos and stopping them so you can have a look.. you can also search for "agents" or "blacklist" to locate it quicker.. thanks..

Angelblue05 4127 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Try refreshing your content in the webclient to force Emby to detect the runtime of your files. This issue happens when the runtime is missing. If it still doesn't work, I suggest you post in the server section for more help on runtime missing.

I tried refreshing metadata multiple times, with no luck.. will see what the mod in nas server section says.. thanks.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariusz 14 Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 I have been having this issue since I started using SMB location to view video files stored on another NAS.. basically when i stop a video while watching through kodi, video gets flagged as watched and i can not restart video from the point where i stopped.. this only happens to videos that have been added to emby server using SMB location.. I already have tried to refresh all metadata to rescan files and still same issue.. I have also posted on kodi section and they have told me to post here as it will be issue on emby server end.. below is a link to kodi section where i posted my log files... please let me know if there is anything else i can try to fix this.. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/54088-stoping-a-video-does-not-allow-to-continue-from-same-point-instead-shows-as-watched/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 33666 Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hi, does this happen in the web app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariusz 14 Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Hi, does this happen in the web app? yes.. if i go into emby server through browser and watch a video it does not show full runtime but instead buffers, even if i stop video after watching 10min it will show as watched instead of being able to later resume from the 10min mark.

Or is that a windows server? it's running on asustor NAS.. where would I find the smb.conf file? UPDATE.. I tried to search for the file and the only location i found through search was in the kodi application folder, which i doubt has anything to do with emby..

Dariusz 14 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 @@alucryd do you know where he can find the smb.conf file? ok so I have sort of fixed my issue.. more like i went around it.. I have my emby server running on NAS1 and any videos I add from NAS2 using smb://NAS2ip in emby would result in files being transcoded and me not being able to pause and restart from sopped point.. so I ended up mounting NAS2 folders directly on NAS1 using the shared folder in asustor Access Control panel.. this way emby server on NAS1 sees the folders from NAS2 as local and everything is working as it should now for me..
