Video playback on the Emby server based on WebDAV occasionally fails

[LunaticXJ 1]

Hello everyone, I've mounted resources from my cloud drive onto an Emby server using WebDAV. Currently, the Emby server can scrape and display posters normally. However, there are occasional playback failures when using the client. Upon checking the logs, it seems to be due to abnormal file processing on the server side. I'm not sure if this is related to WebDAV.

From what I've observed, using the Emby iOS client seems to encounter more errors. VidHub client works better, but once an error is triggered using the Emby iOS client, VidHub client playback also fails inevitably. Moreover, after some time, playback seems to resume normally. I'm not sure if this is related to some kind of reset mechanism on the Emby server.

Additionally, the MediaProbeManager often throws errors when executing the ffprobe command. I believe this is related to WebDAV, but I'm unsure if it's related to this playback issue.

Hi, is it possible webdav rejects file access under certain conditions?
