bgx 16 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Hi angelblue05. Because the limitations of the cache in Kodi whitdh the transcoded hls stream I startet to make my own streamversion on the embyserver. That means I have 2 versions of a file in emby. One for local streaming and one for outside with a lower bitrate. Is there a way to force play a multiversion file in Emby for Kodi? That would realy realy nice. :-) EDIT: Ah, and only force a special multi version if there are multiversions otherwise everything normal... :-) Edited February 20, 2018 by bgx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgx 16 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Forgive me angelblue05 I hadn't tried. Will do so later. Can I force a special version without choose? Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 How do you mean? How would this work without choosing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgx 16 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Sorry angelblue05 had to explain better. I mean can I set that a device only choose version X to play?My scenario is that I have begun to make a version for streaming with smaller bitrate. Because the limitations of the transcoding in kodi and the problems with buffer of a hls stream is so small I start to convert my own streaming versions which can handle the kodi playback buffer.Now I wish to program a kodi client outside my house to only play the stream versions of a file and for userexperience not to ask.Hope now you understand what I mean? At the moment I have a workaround for my scenario. I set tags stream and notstream and prevent the user outside to see the files with the tag notstream and the local user doesn't see the files with tag stream. At night I convert the originalfiles which was first a notstreamversion to a lower bitrate that can be streamed and so I must delete all the tags at night and resync the database. I would be nicer if I can directly pick the version to serve. :-)Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk EDIT: After again thinking over it I think it make no sense... I think I will better delete the stream version at night at set a symlink to the normal transcoded version. With the symlink I save the playcount also. Thanks anyway and keep up the great coding :-) Edited February 20, 2018 by bgx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgx 16 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Correct @nullpointer for now I've coding me the workaround. Will see how good it works... Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgx 16 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 @@Angelblue05 Pull request? You mean in GitHub? Python? You know I don't understand python. I've coded the workaround per bash script convert the video files on the fly as streamable video files and write NFO tho serve this special version to emby users outside my network for good streaming experience.
