Emby play to Marantz: only music OK

[gabarisone 0]

I am new to Emby, and I have just installed it in a FreeNAS system. Everything went smoothly. I love the interface. I have no problems with clients on Mac, iPad or iPhone.

 

However, when I try to play on a Marantz SR6010, I can only play music. Photos take over 10 seconds to load, and movies just never play - the best I get is a cover picture of the movie but playback never starts.

The same thing happens whether I access the server directly from the Marantz, or when I access from the iPad client and then choose "play to" Marantz from the iPad app.

The server and the Marantz are in the same ethernet.

 

I never tinkered with any settings. After the Emby server was installed, the Marantz saw it without me having to set anything up.

Are there any settings I am missing?

Is the problem in my server, the network or the Marantz? Mac and iPad, where playback is not a problem, are on WiFi and the Marantz is on ethernet, but if anything, ethernet should be faster/more reliable?

Hi, should the marantz be able to accept video?

Hmmm need to find that out. It does accept photos but they take way too long to load.

Thanks for the answer.

Most receivers don't, but we currently don't do anything to prevent you from trying.
