jrwalte 17 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 That must explain why I stopped having issues. Back in May 2020 I'd constantly have skipping issues for my 4k movies over Shield Pro. Typically a reboot of the Shield would solve it. I had then moved and didn't get my HT set up until Dec 2020, and ever since I never had a skipping issue again. I guess I never noticed any start delay because my screen is always going black changing its mode to the native res/HDR. By the time the screen came back the movie was already started. 11 hours ago, rbjtech said: the key reason was performance on a Windows system was being throttled by the emby HTTP server thus high bitrate 4K > 50Mbit were pausing every few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpg732 8 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I too am having issues with large file playback, I cannot seem to get this to work, always shows as HTTP in the playback stats, I am wondering with mapping the TNAS to the shield, the shiel sees the NAS, can mount it, logged in and it shows the shared folders, but from there I cannot explore the folders, not sure if that is normal, am wondering if my issue is that I am only sharing the parent folder, not the sub folders within. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I don't think it's correct. With my NAS shared folders mounted on my Shield I can use a file manager app like X-plore and explore all files and folders. I can even edit text files, play media, etc using X-plore. On my Synology NAS I only have the one top folder shared. All my library folders underneath the share (Movies, TV Shows, etc) aren't shared and are just plain folders File access worked great for me until SE9 update on the Shield. It appears to be broken now in SE9 though according to the other discussion going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 For some apps you need to grant them "File and media" permissions within Shield settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't need that option (at least not before SE9) to get file access in ATV. However, if you can't explore your follders in other apps like X-plore then you probably won't get File access to work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpg732 8 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) So installed the latest version, set the permissions for the app, and still no go, attached image is how I have the server library path set, does pay the movies, when you mapped the NAS in the shield, did you manually map it or did you just see your NAS in the list, select it, signed in and that's it, or am I missing a step? Not sure what I am overlooking? Another thing is on the shield when I mount the NAS it will not allow me to log in with my admin account, I have to use a guest account, though did set the permission to the same Edited January 14, 2022 by mpg732 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5049 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I'm running Emby server on my Synology and have my folders setup like the pic below. When I mapped my NAS storage on the Shield I used an account with admin privileges (though not my actual 'admin' account). However, it should still work with any account that has read/write to your shares. There is a kb. Check that out and see if anything might help. Shield TV Direct File Access : Emby Did you load the Hotfix for Android 11? That fixed some access issues and I loaded that before ATV was patched so it may have helped. You may also want to follow the SE9 thread. Lots of talk of using direct file access, though I think I'm the only one who has it somewhat working on Android 11 so far.

You are still getting permission denied. You went to the Android settings->apps->Emby->permissions and turned on "File Access"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14913 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Are you sure that is the right app? I think the permission should just say "Storage": @FrostByte what does your permission say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiomixer 328 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @ebr yes, I only have that one Emby app. Android tv. That permission pane is from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4260 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I don't have the 'Storage' Permission - I'm using beta .63 with the latest hotfix. I only have ''Files and media' the same as the screen grab above. Also to note - all the other apps that do have SMB access also have 'Files and media' only - I've not seen a 'Storage' permission for any app. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
