WIndows 10, Latest Emby Stable.
Assume this is a simple issue.

I have Emby installed and start from desktop, on another PC via Chrome I can connect view the library and watch a movie.

So then today I installed Emby as a service and stopped the desktop version then started the service, and it ran.

Go to another PC connect via Chrome browser, can view the catalog as before, select a Movie and it tries to run I get a black screen and it never starts.

Turn service off, restart desktop version, go to another PC now the movie plays.

 

When it wont play the chrome debugger log is show some errors about No CORS header and access denied and 500 errors

Hi

 

This will likely be a permissions issue where running under the service user cannot read the drive/resource where your actual media is located.
