Unable to find a suitable output format for 'path'

[yangyizhi 0]

I want to play the stream through the emby api in html, but it does not work. Check the emby log as follows: Unable to find a suitable output format for '/volume3/downloads/incomplete/transcoding-temp/X3E03D4/X3E03D4'

Are you missing the file extension in your api request?

http://XXX:8096/emby/Videos/18560/stream?EnableAutoStreamCopy=true&Static=true&CopyTimestamps=true&api_key=XXX，I get resources through this api, and the browser opens a url for downloading files，some movie work normal，some is nnot

[pünktchen 1409]

You should not use EnableAutoStreamCopy=true and Static=true in the same request.
Static=true means you are requesting the video file with its original video, audio and subtitle codecs in its original container (file extension).
EnableAutoStreamCopy=true means that based on other parameters, Emby decides if the video has to be remuxed or transcoded. But with EnableAutoStreamCopy you also have to tell Emby what file extension, video and audio codecs your player supports, so that Emby can make a proper decision.

Hi, have you taken a look at emby server api docs?

http://XXX/emby/Videos/21965/stream?Static=true&SubtitleStreamIndex=5&SubtitleMethod=encode&api_key=XXX

thanks for you answer this url above can play the movie, then i want load subtitles when paly the video，the url above did not work，how to solve it?

[pünktchen 1409]

SubtitleMethod=encode means burn-in the subtitle into the video. That will not work with Static=true because for burn-in of subtitles the video has to be transcoded.
There are some factors to consider because of subtiles: Internal or external subtitles? Subtitle format? Capabilities of the player in regards to subtitles and the original video container!
All these influence the subtitle method and the stream container to choose.

The really important question is where do you want to play the stream?

If it's for browser playback, then you should just check what the Emby web app is requesting for your videos.

Can you give me an example of the requested url for the movie resource above me? I really can’t figure it out, thank you！

[Luke 42077]

Have you tried comparing to the web app urls? Just play in Chrome and monitor with the network debugger.
