eraser8 46 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi guys, With my recent upgrade (FREENAS 11.2) and the upgrade of emby server (3.5.2.0), I am no longer able to cast a movie on my Windows Media Center setup (emby). The only option I can see for my HTPC, when I click on the cast button, is "HTPC - DLNA". I tried it but it does not work at all. If I remember well, I didn't have the dlna option but only the real "HTPC". This worked perfectly with previous versions. Am I the only one in this situation? Can I do something to fix that? I'm not sure if you need my log for that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Can you cast to other apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi Luke Yes, I can cast to other browser or android tablet or Chromecast. But for my HTPC (windows Medi Center) there is only the "dlna" option and it doesn't work. Here is a Pic from Chrome browser on my computer.

Luke 37049 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Is the app running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Is the app running? Yes for sure, I used to do that since 2 year and I do the same than before.... To be more clear, it seems to connect to "HTPC-DLNA", but when I click on play button, it doesn't start on the device. I just saw some error in the log when I'm trying to push play button (which actually does nothing). This is a server log after server restart. Also, I am up-to-date on WMC side. You can take a look to the line: 2018-08-05 17:44:40.333 Thanks Emby playto problem for htpc - serverlog.txt Edited August 5, 2018 by eraser8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 If you attach the emby for wmc log then @@ebr may be able to see why it's not getting connected for remote control. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Hi Luke, Thanks for the reply. Sorry but I have hard time finding the log for "Emby for WMC" app. Do you know where it is? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser8 46 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Great thanks! Here is the log, freshly started and I tried to cast (play) a movies on my WMC at 21:10. Unfortunately, it doesn't seems to have any log generated about that... MBClassic-582018e3582cfd8be84912bbadeb097321fc07.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I wonder if I'm alone in this situation? It would be very nice if someone could quickly test this! Simply try to lauch a movie (cast) on "Emby for WMC" using the cast option on the web browser. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser8 46 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 We'll see what @@ebr thinks. Thanks. Thank you Luke! Really appreciate the time for that. Have you see in the server log, there is a " null reference error " when I press the play button?

Luke 37049 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I'm not quite sure, but that's dlna. That's not related to Emby for WMC. i know when using windows media player as a target I don't see any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi Luke, Just more info about that, I just try it for fun using windows emby server and it is the same result.

Luke 37049 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Right now I can't reproduce any windows Media player issues but will do more testing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi Luke, Any news about that?I just install the latest Beta (3.6.0.46) but unfortunately, nothing has changed. I'm not able to cast to my Windows Media Center (HTPC) but all other device works great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Hum... wrong... something has changed. I cannot see my HTPC in web browser but I can see it on my android tablet (in casting option) .... Maybe a hint?

Luke 37049 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Have you checked to make sure that emby for wmc is actively running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Hi Luke, Yes, and I also just did a test. 1 - I restart the server (to get a clean log) and 2 - I restart my htpc to see if I could see it in my "cast" list option. Unfortunately, I cannot see it in the browser client. Sorry, I update the log file to include the moment when I open up the emby on WMC You can do a quick search of "MBClassic" there is somme error around that line but I'm not sure it is related...

Luke 37049 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 And the Emby for WMC log? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 And the Emby for WMC log? Hi Luke, I restart my procedure to get clean log. Here is both logs from server and htpc restart to enter emby client in WMC. I can do whatever test you need if you want.

Luke 37049 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I have a feeling this feature may no longer work with Emby for wmc unless we update it. The server is complaining about the web socket protocol version of the client, which is probably pretty old by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this could be fix by EBR I like to keep the parental control on my HTPC and in the meantime, when I want to listen a movie with violence, I can simply cast it on my HTPC instead of relogging it with another user... Very much more easy to cast. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37049 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would suggest checking out Emby Theater, as it's designed to be a full replacement for windows media center: https://emby.media/emby-theater.html Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 46 Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks for suggestion. Last time I tested it, I found out that it doesn't have the same responsivness than WMC for tv tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
