In-Progress BDMV rips not playing on Emby 4.02 with EmbyKodi beta add-on

[shoek 12]

Hi,

 

I recently upgraded to EmbyServer 4.02 (on QNAP x64 NAS) and my client (an nVidia Shield) to Kodi Leia RC5.

I updated the Emby add-on to the beta channel 3.1.44a

I did a full reset of the Kodi database

 

After doing that, none of my BDMV rips (loose files in the Blu-ray folder structure) would play.  

I noticed that the path to the item was different in 3.1.xx vs 3.0.34

 

In 3.1.xx - DOES NOT PLAY

\\QNAP\Movies\First Man

 

In 3.0.34 - WORKS FINE

\\QNAP\Movies\First Man\BDMV\index.bdmv

 

NOTE: I can play MKV files just fine, so I know it is not a server access issue.

 

Does anyone else have this problem?  How can I troubleshoot?

 

Thanks,

-Steve

Can you provide your Kodi log capturing this, thank you.

[shoek 12]

Here is a log of EmbyForKodi doing a full sync of my movies, then trying to play First Man

I did get a warning at the beginning of the sync about not being able to access the SMB path, even though I can access it in Kodi via the Files tool as well as the Add-Ons install from ZIP

 

I know I can access the SMB share because I can play MKV TV shows just fine

Ok I see where maybe things are not detecting properly. Can you check the webclient, navigate to the title, check the media info at the bottom. You'll see an entry named Container, what does it say? If you are unsure, just post a screenshot. Thank you

Using the Emby web client I see this.  The Path listed there is a public share that I can access from any device on my network with no authentication.

Does this media info look correct for bluray? How come it's not displaying the container value like with my dvd rip test?

Try refreshing metadata on that title.

[shoek 12]

We have refreshed the metadata

None of my BDMV rips play with Emby 4.02 server anymore

[Luke 40082]

What is the folder structure?

[shoek 12]

\\QNAP\Blu-ray\Movies\First Man\BDMV\index.bdmv

\\QNAP\Blu-ray\Movies\First Man\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts

 

Almost all of my BDMV rips are movie-only (using ClownBD tool).  This all worked great in Emby 3.5 and EmbyForKodi 3.x (stable).

 

It is almost as if the scanner is not looking inside the folder for the index.bdmv file

I also have this problem, any update information about this? Thx.

[Luke 40082]

I think it's just an issue with the upgrade from 3.5. new titles added to your library should be fine. Try removing your movies library from emby server, then running a full library scan, then adding it back. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

[shoek 12]

@@Luke yes this seemed to do the trick.  Instead of renaming the folder I removed my library and rebuilt it.  

It works now in Emby app, and when I get home I will test in EmbyForKodi

 

Will the upgrade issue be fixed?  

[Luke 40082]

We are looking into it. Thanks for the feedback.

@shoek

Are you use native path share?  I can't read Bdmv folder  even rebuild library.

Have you made any progress with this?

Same problem here.

Emby 4.1.0.9 (Windows10)
 

12 different DTS Music Demo BDs.

 

Same folder structure:

\BDMV\index.bdmv

\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts

 

It plays, but only one file, for every BD it's a different one (DTS Music Demo Vol. xx\BDMV\STREAM\0000x.m2ts).

I can't skip, no menu, just one file.

 

Same with Emby Web (Firefox), Emby for Kodi and Android App.

 

I tried removing the folders, then running a full library scan, then adding them back and did again a library scan.

 

Some ideas?

 

 

 

[Angelblue05 4131]

In the add-on settings > playback > force http, disabled. Does it help any?

[Siutsch 9]

Doesn't help.

[Angelblue05 4131]

Please provide your Kodi log.
