thelangs 2 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just installed emby on Shield TV, replacing my HTPC.. Everything looks good so far. My question is: What is the difference between "direct streaming" and "direct Play" when selecting movies ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Direct stream is when the stream is going through server. It usually happens because either the container or the audio has to be altered in some way. Direct play means that the server isn't involved and is being played directly from the source. If you look in the stats, it'll tell you what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 In the UI when playing something, you'll see a gear. Click on that and you see an option 'stats for nerds'. Select that and you'll see the information you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
