Depechie Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Started using Emby app on Apple TV 4 and it seems not all MKV files are playable. While selecting a specific title I always get the screen: An error occured while loading this content. Playing the same MKV from the Emby server browser works fine, even using VLC for tvOS on the Apple Tv is able to play it through the Emby UPnP feature! Is there a log file I can send, go through to present more information? Edited January 28, 2018 by Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depechie Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Ok... just for reference, running ffmpeg 3.2.4 now ( because of the lib error with 3.3.4 ) and some movies play and others still don't. Not sure why though because another movie that is playing is also indicated as being remux in de log files of EMBY. So for now I think I'll need to wait for some feedback of @outkastfm on why the install of 3.3.4 is not working correctly. Thanks guys for the support though Doing great!!

Depechie Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Got ffmpeg 3.3.4.0 working thanks to the great help of @outkastfm No longer have the exception about the missing lib in the log, but still the movie won't play. Having other details in the log file now, so I'm sharing it again.
