Module support

[appas 3]

Hey,

I am writing to request playback support for module files (.mod, .xm, .it, etc). Currently, Emby tries to play these but fails. 

There are several C# .NET libraries for mod playback, eg. SharpMik: https://github.com/thegouldfish/SharpMik

I would be interested in fulfilling this need as a plugin, but I did not find any information on how to get the currently playing audio stream into a plugin. If someone can help me with this, then maybe I will be able to write a plugin for this purpose. Or are playback decoder plugins even possible?

Alternatively, please tell me how to have Emby ignore module files in folders marked as Music. As I said, currently, mod files in my music folders get an attempted play, that results in an error message. I would primarily like to fix this error message by having a plugin that provides the playback capabilities, but if that's not possible, I would like at least to be able to avoid the error messages, which also stop playback! For reference, attached is the error I'm getting.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!
