medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi after 2 weeks of research, installation and uninstallation, i give up and i need help : It's been 2 years since my set up worked perfectly, but after a recent major disks and mother board failure, i decide to make a fresh new server and i updated my server OS OpenMediaVault to its last version, and had to make a fresh installation of emby. I use a nvidia shield as a media reader. Now, i can't read from Kodi my movie files. It seems that emby on my server try to read the file and stream it. I'm pretty sure i miss something minor and it drives me crazy... I use plugin path in emby for kodi, the direct path doesn't work. here attached the kodi log. Thanks for your help Log Kodi.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This sounds exactly the same as reported here: Try disable hardware acceleration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Unfortunately, it doesn"t seem to work in my case... I've tried to de activate both options, one and then the other : it doesn't work. Thx for your help though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) This is the path kodi tries to open: http://192.168.1.17:8096/emby/Videos/14474/stream?static=true&MediaSourceId=ef98abcc2a951b78a1928672cf1c6321&api_key=1fa81def17f047118e3b1cf4397ab67a Try to load it from your PC and check if it opens. Just drop in athe bowser or VLC -Network source. Edited January 13, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 i noticed that and this path doesn't exist when i try in VLC or windows explorer. Even the http is weird ! Shouldn't the path start \\192.168.1.17 ? I can access my files with the following path : \\192.168.1.17\Films my files are store on a unionfs storage in openmediavault. When i installed emby via docker, i use the following path to define where my files are store volumes: - /srv/Appdata/emby/:/config - /srv/bc77bdfd-6b9f-44e6-b52d-a5675dd18d63/Media-Films/:/data/Films - /srv/bc77bdfd-6b9f-44e6-b52d-a5675dd18d63/Media-Animes/:/data/Animes Maybe that where it goes wrong ?

quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This path "http://192.168.1.17:8096/emby/Videos/14474/stream?static=true&MediaSourceId=ef98abcc2a951b78a1928672cf1c6321&api_key=1fa81def17f047118e3b1cf4397ab67a" is a call to the emby server in addon mode and that's what you are using at the Moment. if this path doesn't exist, then there are problems with LAN or emby server config. Is this your emby server? 192.168.1.17:8096 -> should open webUI from emby In native mode it would be a network share path like \\192.168.1.17\Films... but as you mentioned, you are not using it.

quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Then there must be a msg if you drop that into webbrowser URL. http://192.168.1.17:8096/emby/Videos/14474/stream?static=true&MediaSourceId=ef98abcc2a951b78a1928672cf1c6321&api_key=1fa81def17f047118e3b1cf4397ab67a Not windows explorer!

quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) ok, this means the URL, Kodi called, is basically ok. Error msg is: Open - error probing input format, http://192.168.1.17:8096/emby/Videos/14474/stream?static=true&MediaSourceId=ef98abcc2a951b78a1928672cf1c6321&api_key=1fa81def17f047118e3b1cf4397ab67a This sounds like a Kodi problem, have you recently updated Kodi? What format is the file? Don't say MKV Should be h264, h265, mp4 etc. somethink like that. Can you access the file from Kodi native? I mean without emby plugin at all. Just play the file native in Kodi etc. Actually, I'm almost sure it's a Kodi issue, not a plugin issue.

quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Are you try to play an iso file? http://127.0.0.1:57578/emby/kodi/movies/14474/file.strm?KodiId=7&Name=Alita.Battle.Angel.2019.MULTI.COMPLETE.UHD.BLURAY.iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 yes. before emby for kodi, i successfully read this iso via kodi native. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Intresting. I've no experiance with that, does the Emby Server Web Ui play that file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 no emby server web ui can't read any iso file. Mkv work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well, then you have to test the file in Kodi without emby at all. I assume, Kodi cannot play that file either for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medyaye 0 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Read the files without emby and it worked as mentionned before. It drives me crazy So i assume there's something wrong going between path provide by emby and ability for kodi to read it. Log Kodi.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1330 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 ok, then you have to switch to native mode. What is the problem with native mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2352 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 You will not be able to direct stream an iso from emby to kodi. I think you may be able transcode it but not direct http stream it. Kodi needs direct file access to the iso file on a share so you will need to use direct path. The alternative is to convert the iso to mkv.
