Ninko 64 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi, I was thinking of using direct play, but I was wondering, everything on Synology is based around permissions. What permissions are required for an Emby client to directly play a file? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninko 64 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Doesn't it mean, for example, Emby client running on Roku can play/access the video file without going through the Emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Correct. Roku will stream through Emby server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninko 64 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 So in order for Roku to have direct access to that folder/files doesn't it need some kind of login details or permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 There is nothing you need to do in order to be able to direct play on Roku. Just press play and enjoy your media. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
