Volfan6415 17 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Ok so recently i have been having an issue where i can't fast forward or skip in the media. Also it seems like the restore points aren't always working as well ( which may or not be related) So here is what i have done: In the dashboard the media shows as direct playing I can copy the file directly to the computer and play the file in WMC and the fast forward and skip works. I can also add a link to where the file is stored on the NAS and browse to the file via the video's section of WMC and the skip and fast forward works when playing over the network While playing the file if i backout to the main screen the now playing screen shows the title of the file as "stream" I have attached logs for the files and it looks like some sort of transcode has started? Where do i need to look to start debugging this? In these logs the file i was attempting to play via emby for wmc was game of thrones season 4 epidode 6? So in my setup the Emby server is running on a linux VM, the files are stored on a Windows Home Server 2011 VM. Both VMs are running on the same ESXi host. I am using emby for wmc running off of another computer attached to my TV. Thoughts? Edited to add media info from website?

Luke 37060 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 For WMC, when the file transcodes you will not be able to seek. What you need to do is make sure that the WMC machine has direct access to the media files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfan6415 17 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Ok i'll double check the network permissions then as well as the path substitution settings in Emby Server. I guess i thought if the dashboard was reporting direct playing that meant that there was no interaction from Emby server regarding the playing of the file?

Solution Volfan6415 17 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Solution Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Ok looks like I had a typo in my folder substitution settings. DOH! Corrected the folder substitution setting and now it is working as it should. I still think it was misleading that it said direct playing in the dashboard when it must have been direct streaming.
