Please elaborate. Which plugin are you (Emby) using?

[skank 77]

Hi , yes sorry for that

 

Emby next gen

Play mode -> standard (normally with the old add on i used native path, but since the explanation said i shouldnt, i run standard now)

It should passthrough

Error from kodi says: one or more items couldnt be played, check the log..https://paste.kodi.tv/afohibatus

Is this bdmv video playable by Emby server? If not, I'll put it as a fallback to native mode.

I'm not sure.

How do i know?

I thought it was the shield, but it seems the shield can play it

 

I tried native mode, but it doesnt play either

 

[skank 77]

i think it doest play

I just tried it to play from my laptop/browser

And it started playback

SO i think thats the server right? (server here is on another unraid machine)

[quickmic 1136]

If it's not playable via WebUI, Emby server cannot read the format.

Maybe Kodi can play it, but you mentioned native mode is also not working. This means, Kodi is also not able to play the file.

Best option would be converting/rip to a different format.

[skank 77]

Hey quickmic, pelase dont go that way, theres nothing wrong with that rip.

It played before fine with kodi 18, and the oldy emby in native.

So its truly not the rips fault

Also its with all bdmv folder types

not this just one

It is by the way playable via webui, like i said in my previous post

 

So whats wrong then?

 

[quickmic 1136]

ok, please send me a kodi.log and I'll check

[skank 77]

Actually i did , look up a bit pls

[quickmic 1136]

I'll try to find a bdmv sample and perform a test.

[skank 77]

Thank you

[skank 77]

Did you had time to find anything?

[quickmic 1136]

No, sorry I was very busy this week. I'll check it on weekend.

[skank 77]

No problem thank you

I ripped a bluray to bdmv (folder structure) and performed a few tests. Emby server doesn't "see" the content, and cannot play it. (I'm running a new sync, probably it helps but I don't think so). VLC plays the m2ts file but also don't read the content of this complete folder.

I haven't even started with Kodi tests cause makes no sense yet.

I need EXACT instructions what/how you wanna play. How Kodi (without emby plugin) can play the content, and what content. There is a huge difference if you just play the actual media file or if you expect something like a bluray "menu" etc.

Frankly I'm not an expert on bdmv and what's the benefit here.

Hi

I just want to play the main movie

How kodi plays the content i dont know, the old kodi emby addon had no problem either.

I don't expect to play the bluray menu

Is that enough for you?

 

 

[quickmic 1136]

Well then I assume Kodi just played the m2ts file. I'm wondering how you could play the bdmv via Emby-Server webUI. Cause here Emby server doesn't even load the m2ts file and it's just natural that Kodi cannot play it either.

Also I doubt that old Kodi plugin can play it and next gen not (talking about native mode). There is not a big difference in both native modes. I assume the actual problem is something different.

 

According to your log (addon mode, not native mode) Kodi requested this file:

http://127.0.0.1:57578/musicvideos/5ac4ea57538d01e84b310596c374a417/23696-aaf9bfcaa6fdb7f576605a2194a56363-41347351-stream-index.bdmv

 

So actually it tried to play the index.bdmv via Emby server and as mentioned. This doesn't work, cause Emby server cannot play that

file.

 

 

If somebody knows how to load bdmv to Emby server, please let me know. Currently I'm just guessing, due to lag of information.

Kodi plays it fine, without emby 

I never said i played it through emby server webui

I always use kodi or kodi with emby kodi addon

That worked before.

Yeah it tried to play the index.bdmv file

It should point to the right m2ts file no?

I'm not sure how that works

Strange nobody from the emby team knows how that works?

Devs from kodi could probably help you?

 

[skank 77]

I can tell you that the main movie is always the biggest file in that folder

 

[skank 77]

@Luke can you help here, in the past there was support for bdmv format, no? It did play in the past

[quickmic 1136]

The problem is. Emby server doesn't even load the file. I don't mean it just cannot play the file. If doesn't LOAD the files. Therefore the plugin cannot know the path. As mentioned, I doubt the old plugin was able to handle it too. If yes, I need instructions how to load bdmv to Emby server.

I'll stop investigation, till I have additional information.

I hope someone from emby devs can give you the information, i cannot either

You can't really stream a folder structure through the server, so this is something would have to be played just by passing the folder path into the Kodi player.
