If it's not playable, I want to know, rather than transcode.

It will never transcode automatically as unless you configure the plugin doing so.

No problem for tvshows as well, beside the youtube plugin issue. Please upload a full kodi.log for review.

Thanks, on first sight I assume you use path substitution for the corresponding Emby library which includes the youtube videos? At least it seems to be a network share.

I have never tested that maybe that's the problem. I'll run another tests.

Is this a log from using addon mode cause it looks a bit like.

Also disable path substitution for your youtube/plugin content folders on Emby server for youtube plugins. Emby replaces the "plugin://" prefix with you networks share ->

\\omv\2TB_1\Completed\Youtube\Alton Brown\2025\2025-02-23 Live From Abs Bathroom.strm

...and the plugin cannot detect it's a plugin:// content.

Currently I cannot exactly replicate the issue, I just have some indicators what could possibly go wrong on your setup.

According to my tests:

Installed the beta youtube plugin from here:

https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.youtube/releases

Tests:

1. Native mode, no Emby path substitution -> works

2. Native mode, with Emby path substitution -> works

3. Addon mode, no Emby path substitution -> works

4. Addon mode, with Emby path substitution -> fails

fyi, Emby path substitution means - "Shared network path" on Emby libs

You need to install tvtunes from latts repo ->

https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=347428

Then you need to sync the themes from Emby.

Emby for Kodi Next-gen service plugin -> Sync -> Manage libraries -> Enable themes and follow the wizard.

Be careful if you choose "download", this could use quite some space.

Hi Mic,

maybe a silly question, but does the addon support external players ?

I've added a pcf.xml in der userdata folder with the following content:

   
  
 

 
  
    
      C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe
      "{1}" /fullscreen /close
      false
      false
      none
    
  
  
    
  
 

But no matter which skin I pick, I cannot enable the optional "Play with ..." in the context menu.

Not tested, but I doubt it's a plugin issue.

Hm. I don't know why I'd be using path substitution. I thought I purged all my emby settings in this process.

Yeah, I was actually wondering that myself yesterday. I got my first ever prompt to skip credits last night. I must have selected Addon mode accidentally. Luckily, as we can see, it's not an issue. Let's call this an accidental test.

Interesting. I'll try turning off path substitution. Many thanks for the troubleshooting!

Thank you. I did every step, but still not working. There is one folder for every movie, and inside these, there is a backdrops folder with a theme.mp4 file.

I would not use the theme videos, only the audios. However check the configurations of the tvtunes plugin. There are a lot of options and I think you need to enable the videos there.

I unchecked Path Substitution in the Emby For Kodi settings, and didn't see any change. I restarted kodi, and still no change with STRM files. Log

Did you trigger at least a repair-sync of the libraries on Kodi/plugin. Probably run a factory reset of the plugin to be absolutely sure the Kodi's database is cleaned. Otherwise your changes will not be applied.

The log still shows the path substitution.

man, I was hoping unchecking a box would solve it.

The problem is, a change of the path substitution on Emby side is not reported by Emby server. Due, the plugin is not aware of the change and it's not a plugin limitation. It's a Emby server limitation.

I have all of my STRM files in a single Library, so I just did a Repair for that library. But the issue persisted (I checked the log and it was the same).

I didn't want to do a factory reset and have to type in my server again, so I removed all of my libraries, deleted the kodi db files and my thumbnails, restarted kodi, and then added the libraries back. Issue persists, but the log looks different.

can you give me access to your server, assign me a test account if it's accessible from internet?

btw, I would use a PC to test such thing, it's much more convenient for debugging.

I don't have it open to the internet. I access it remotely through my tailscale VPN. I can share my tailscale network with you and ACL you to the specific IP:Port. That's the only way I can think of doing this securely.

Thanks but no. Takes me more time to setup as productive work.

Hey quickmic,

I got that sorted out, but now I',m facing another issue.

For movies I'd like to use mpc-hc as an external player. As I can now pick my desired player, I get the following error from mpc-hc:

...

I tried disabling path substitution with no success.

Do I need to set rules for streams when I use the plugin in default mode ?
