Have trouble in adding libraries

[Saligiademo 3]

I have a Windows 10 NAS in my home, running emby server version 4.0.3.0

I want to watch films in my another house by using computer. So I have installed Kodi version 18.1 Leia and  Emby for Kodi version 4.0.14a

Now the situation is I can watch NAS' films by clicking [Addons - video addons - emby - movie(dynamic) - movie - films]

But once I want to add libraries, It shows [ Kodi can't locate file smb://"my emby server name"/"movie"/"films'name". Use the Emby path substitution to format your path correctly or ensure your path is added to Kodi's file manager.] 

It seems like I should create a shared network folder, but I have no ideas about how to deal with it. What should I do to solve this problem?

Any answers would be appreciated.

Yes, you need to use add-on playback mode under add-on settings > sync. You are currently set with native playback mode which only works if you are on the same network as your server or use vpn.

It works! Thanks a lot!

Btw there is one more problem, everytime I launch Kodi, I have to manually add server, could it automatically login?

Not normal behavior. Provide your Kodi log capturing this. Thanks.

You are using non-ascii characters for your username.

Just to confirm, non-ascii character for username is supported by Emby for not?

Edit: I’ll fix the issue you are facing. I should have a build for you to test later today.

Edit2: Seems to be the server name that's throwing errors not the username, which also does throw errors.

For a username i would think it would be ok.

You're right, It fixed after I modify the server name, now it can automatically login, but new problem has arisen. When I enter the TV Shows’ episode page, it fails to display title's fonts correctly, but it goes well when it was played. Here are the screenshots.

Thanks for confirming. I will still look to fix the error anyway.

 

You need to use a font that is compatible. This is skin area.

Did you ever add a font that is compatible with international characters for titles? It looks to display correctly for the plot?

Already included in the skin. I offer two options for them, but it seems I have to check if I missed a font declaration because it seems that only a few parts for this user are affected and fall back to the default one.

 

@@Saligiademo

Which font have you configured in the appearance settings and could you please provide me screenshots of the parts in the skin where you have missing characters?

 

 

Edit:

Found the problem and will be fixed with the next version.

the problem occurs when the language is set Chinese (simple) and character set Chinese simplified (GBK), now I have set the language back to English and character set default, but the fonts are still missing in the episode pages. Seem like you have locate where the bug is? Looking forward to the next version released. Thanks for your hard working.
