mikej135 0 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Recently, I have noticed that I cannot play recorded TV that is stored on a network share. My setup is as follows :- I have a Windows computer that records the TV using WMC and then I have a Synology NAS running Emby that accesses this computer via a network share. Looking at the server log file I can see it is trying to open the file to play, but fails because the path is incorrect. Instead of \\<computer name>, it is using \<computer name>. Thanks.

Sammy 735 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Did you check the path in the server settings? Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikej135 0 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Under the serverwmc plugin settings, I have the "Linux Recorded TV path" set to the directory path on my Synology NAS which is actually an SMB network share mounted from my windows media center computer.

krustyreturns 191 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Why are you using the linux path? Can't the emby machine just access the nas directly using the network share path entered in serverwmc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikej135 0 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Maybe I am misunderstanding how I should set the serverwmc plugin up? My setup used to work. I have an emby server on my NAS running the serverwmc plugin. My WMC computer is running Windows. The serverwmc plugin IP/name points to my windows computer. The Linux 'Recorded TV' path field is the Linux directory path of the SMB mount of the WMC recorded TV network share. The NAS has read/write access to this directory.

Luke 36992 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think we are forgetting why that field was even added to the plugin. If you can attach an emby server log from the playback attempt that might help us see what's going on. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36992 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Ok so now i remember, you need to mount the recorded tv folder as a local share in your OS, and then use that setting in the plugin to enter the path to that local share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikej135 0 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 And that is what I have. I have mounted the recorded TV directory as a local share and have added the Linux directory path to the serverwmc plugin. I am at a loss to know what else to try. I have only recently noticed that I am unable to watch recorded TV. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36992 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 what did you enter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikej135 0 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 The Linux 'Recorded TV' path is set to /volume1/tom/RecordedTV. If you change directory to this path on my NAS, you will get to \\tom\Recorded TV on my WMC computer. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
