NitDawg 3 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Long time Emby user. Server was always on HTPC/NAS. Used both MC and Theater as my front end. I've ditched the HTPC, and now I'm have 2 shields for my 2 primary rooms. I installed the server on the shield pro and added a movie folder on the NAS. I can't play any media, either on the shields, browser, xbox-one...it hangs and I get "too may errors" or something about streams. The logs are filled with ffmpeg transcode and remux, although the shields should play these directly. So I'm not sure what setting I have wrong. Regardless of the transcoding, still no joy. Thanks in advance! NitDawg
Luke 39008 Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Hi there, let's look at an example. Please see how to report a media playback issue: Thanks.
NitDawg 3 Posted January 2, 2021 Author Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks Luke! I ended up digging more here on the forums (as I'm somewhat new to the shield as well). I found this that was most helpful: Once I mounted the NAS locally in the shield, playback works great across all devices (and direct play for the appropriate clients). I don't remember doing this on my HTPC server, but glad to get it cooking again! Happy New Year
