nanuk 24 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi, when using the Emby LiveTV section or the menu item "MediaPortal Recordings" to watch my recordings, emby always starts to transcode the recorded file. When navigating to the folder that contains all my recordings (which is a subfolder of a share that is from library type "Home-Videos and Photos") and selecting a file/recording, the TS File is played directly without any transcoding procceses. So... the same file is being transcoded when starting it from the LiveTV section or the menu item "MediaPortal Recordings" and is otherwise played directly (which is correct) when clicking on the file in the folder of my library :-( ?!? Is there any reason for this? Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1241 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 What are your settings for recordings in the live tv plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanuk 24 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi pünktchen, I think I understood... there's an option called enable direct access of recording files and that was disabled. I'll try it this evening and will report afterwards ;-) thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution pünktchen 1241 Posted August 22, 2018 Solution Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi pünktchen, I think I understood... there's an option called enable direct access of recording files and that was disabled. I'll try it this evening and will report afterwards ;-) thx Unfortunately this will only work for future recordings. If you want this to work for existing recordings, you'll have to set the options (do not forget to define the remote share path) then uninstall the plugin and shutdown Emby. Delete Emby's cache folder, start Emby, do a guide refresh and library scan and then reinstall the plugin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36886 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Please see how to report a media playback issue: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/790-how-to-report-a-problem/?view=getnewpost Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe later, i'm still at work. There should be two input fields. One is the local recording path that you've defined in TVServer, eg. D:\Recordings This folder has to be shared in your network. The other field is for your remote path, eg. \\192.168.0.25\Recordings Edited August 22, 2018 by pünktchen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
