Gerry941 1 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've successfully used Emby as a server for music on a Windows Laptop - the files are on a NAS. Having got used to a tablet and its liking convenience I've attempted to install a server on that. It appears to have accessed the NAS and its files, but the server on the Home page does not show the file images and will play one or two files. The response when accessing all other music files is "Play Back Error" "No compatible streams are available". Tried installing on another Android tablet with the same result. Clearly I'm doing something wrong - but what? If you can help - thanks, but please keep the techy language simple! / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry941 1 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Hello and thanks for the response. Please ignore previous message Hopefully these links will allow you to see the log and a typical screen shot of my problem. https://www.dropbox.com/preview/Tablet screen.jpg?role=personal https://www.dropbox.com/s/fk8fb2hkapth09x/Tablet log.jpg?dl=0 Any attempt to click on a file or a "tab" within My Music such as"Albums", "Artists" "Genres" results in - No items found. Hopefully from this you can indicate what the problem is? One question - can you confirm that it is possible to mount an Emby Server on a tablet? In this case a Samsung 5e with 4gB RAM and a processor with 2.0 Ghz processor with OS Android v12 Edited October 15, 2020 by Gerry941 incorrect links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took sometime for me to figure out how to access the file, transfer it to Drive then send it to you as an attachment. I'll attempt another go and send you the result.

Gerry941 1 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Think I've got it right this time! Hopefully the attached file will be of use. Background to this file: I've attempted to access the following tabs with the results as shown below. The results of which which I presume will show in the attached file. My Music - no images displayed (as sent to you previously). Tapping on the image displays the songs within the album which can be displayed, but not the usual accompanying details and images. Album Artists - No images - result when selecting is "no items found" Artists - as above Playlist - displays icon of songs played but no images but cannot play anything Genre - "no items found" Songs - icons only, can play selected song Folders - only 7 icons shown (instead of 100s), some folders have albums within them. Unable to play them though Hopefully the above makes sense! I do however appreciate your help as I really would like to make use of the tablet instead of the cumbersome laptop. embyserver (2) (1).txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would suggest instead is mounting the SMB path to a local path using the tools in the android OS, and then adding the resulting local path into Emby Server. Please let us know if this helps.

Gerry941 1 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thank you - not being tech savvy anymore I passed your comment onto my son who is knows his way around (web designer). His response is unfortunately "It's not possible to do that in Android any more.They dropped the support for mounting network shares directly into Android file system in V 4 (I think it was)". So it certainly looks if that route is no longer an option. If you have any other suggestions I'd be really grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry941 1 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks - Shield is video only? or can I use it to access my music on a NAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The Shield is just an Android device. It is the best Android device for the Android server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
