I have Emby Server installed on Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi 3. Everything works perfect EXCEPT for playback. Help please.

[ZiggyDubz 6]

I finally, with the help of a friend (I have ZERO Linux experience) have set up Emby server on my R-Pi. I have it so it can read the drive I have plugged in (finally) and I have the folders associated with the appropriate movies, tv shows, music, etc. Everything works (Meta data shows, I can edit titles so it gets the proper meta data; the whole shabang) exactly as it did when I ran emby server on Windows 10, except when I go to play a video or song, it gives me this:

 

"Playback Error - No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details."

I thought it could be a codec problem? I downloaded VLC to it and it will open the movie files, but barely play them.
 

I figured the playback device did all the work and it was just drawing the actual movie file from the R-Pi, but perhaps the R-Pi is the thing doing all the work (and isn't powerful enough to do so?)

 

WHAT DO I DO?

Please and thanks. I appreciate it.

Sounds like your media is being trancoded and the pi is not the machine you want for that.  You need all your stuff in direct play format, and a bitrate that fits within your network profile's bandwidth.  Post the server and transcode logs here and we can take a look.

Where do I find said logs, and how do I post them?

[tdiguy 96]

I find the easiest way to get logs is to log into the emby server from a different machine and go to the emby admin dashboard. This is where you add libraries and such. Further down on the left side should be a selection for log files.

The Server log is too long to post. It keeps erroring out haha.

The link Luke gave you already has at least three suggestions (near the bottom of the page) for how to share a large log file.
