Playing complete folders with mixed content (videos and photos)


Recommended Posts

Hi.

I have several folders from concerts containing both self recorded videos and photos.

Unfortunately I cannot find a setting that enables me to simply play the whole content of a folder in one go.

I found two issues:

1. If the first item in the folder is a photo, a slideshow is started, in which photos are shown for a few seconds. But as soon as a video is being reached, it is also shown as a still slide.
Videos do not start playing automatically. Nevertheless, in the Control bar is a button to  play the current video. If I do that, the video starts, but I am taken back to the folder overview as soon as it's over or I leave the video.

2. If the first item is a video, it and the following videos are played as expected. But as soon as a photo is being reached, I get the attached message stating that there was an error while processing the request, please try later.

This happens with any mixed folder and both on Android an in the browser.

Might there be  something wrong with my settings and Emby can usually handle that or am I just expecting something exotic?

Hi, yes this is just a trickier use case that we are working on improving. Thanks for reporting.
