On emby playing iso files

[17732 21]

Emby's own player can't play iso files, but emby's player can support external players.I hope emby can play iso files through an external player instead. If it can be pushed out to an external player, it should be playable. 

Can you add support for emby to push iso files to plug-in players? The Android player I sent can play iso.

Hi, yea currently I think it's probably trying to pass it a transcoded stream, right?

I don't think iso should be transcoded and played. If a plug-in player is used, iso files should be pushed directly to the plug-in player by default.

Right but first I'm trying to confirm that this is what it's trying to do for you?

Try the player, and send the logs.

OK, once you've updated to Emby Server 4.9, I 'd be curious to know what happens with that. Thanks.
