Serjudo 4 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Hello friends!! I think that it will be interesting, enable a offline mode to play media without emby server is running. My main issue is the low estability of emby server (I'm using MAC), what makes me have to go to reboot it, constantly. Through Path Substitution, we could playing any media, knowing the path and without emby server. Is possible adding this to the trello board???? Thanks in advance!!... and sorry for my english XD
bluemonkey07 590 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) If you enable the direct paths option in Emby for kodi settings kodi should still be able to access you media files without emby server running as long as you use UNC paths in Emby that kodi can access Edited August 28, 2015 by Vidman 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Yeah, but your playstate will go out of sync.
Serjudo 4 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Direct paths option??? I can't find that option. I'm using emby for Kody beta (1.1.35). With the current stability, I prefer to lost playstate sync.
bluemonkey07 590 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Emby for kodi settings under sync options "use local paths instead of addon redirect for playback" I think you will need to "reset your local database" under advanced in the settings and restart kodi after changing this setting for it to take affect Edited August 29, 2015 by Vidman
Serjudo 4 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 Mmmmm, I thought that option was valid when Kodi and Emby server running at the same machine.... i'm going to test it!!! THANKS!
Serjudo 4 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 Hi again!!! I've been able to test the solution, and it works but partially.... i think that i've founded a bug. I have 4 sources with media: Media1- /Volumes/WD 2TB-1/OK -> USB HDD Media2- /Volumes/WD 2TB-2/PELIS -> USB HDD Media3- /Users/Serjudo/Movies/SERIES/Renombradas OK -> LOCAL HDD Media4- /Volumes/Peliculas/PERFECTAS -> Synology NAS This is my path substitution configuration: Media1- nfs://192.168.1.10/Volumes/WD 2TB-1/OK Media2- nfs://192.168.1.10/Volumes/WD 2TB-2/PELIS Media3- nfs://192.168.1.10/Users/Serjudo/Movies/SERIES/Renombradas OK Media4- nfs://192.168.1.11/volume2/Peliculas/PERFECTAS Many of my files contains special characters like this: á é í ó ú ñ etc.... For testing the option "use local paths instead of addon redirect for playback", i've reseted my library with the option enable and this is the result: Media1 - All files played perfectly with or without emby server running. Media2 - All files played perfectly with or without emby server running. Media3 - All files played perfectly with or without emby server running. Media4 - Files without special characters play perfectly. Media4 - Files with special characters don't play. I think that these files don't have added correctly because kody says: The file is no longer available. Would you like to remove it from library? I've attached kodi.log although attempts of playing Media4 files with special characters, are not written in the log. kodi.log
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Sorry, I couldn't find your post. Next time, start a new thread per issue, thanks. Looking into it.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) @@Serjudo Can you give this build a try and let me know if it works correctly? Just install from zip in Kodi. If it still doesn't work, can you post a new log again, thanks Edited September 5, 2015 by Angelblue05
Serjudo 4 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 I'll create a new thread next time, sorry! In addittion to install the new plugin in Kodi, is it necessary to reset the library? 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 No, just install and restart Kodi.
Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Hello!!! I've already been able to test it and it doesn't works. Now I can't play any of Media4 files, other files works without problems. kodi.log
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Oops, can you try this? Edited September 5, 2015 by Angelblue05
Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah, now I can play Media4 files without special characters again, but with them It does not works. New log attached!! kodi.log 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Something odd is going on. I thought maybe it was related to the special characters, but maybe it's not. You say it works without special characters but to you even see the Kodi device being connected to your server under active devices?
Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 I've tested it so much with the server running as with the server stopped, the behavior always is the same.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) @@Serjudo Ok for testing, can you have the server online because offline is causing errors and I think it's crashing the code before I can see why the file is not working. 09:38:08 T:139982493542272 ERROR: CWinSystemX11::XErrorHandler: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter), type:0, serial:4697, error_code:5, request_code:18 minor_code:0 09:39:01 T:139981909653248 NOTICE: EMBY DownloadUtils -> logMsg : Unknown error connecting to: http://:8096/mediabrowser/Users/Public?format=json 09:39:01 T:139981909653248 NOTICE: EMBY DownloadUtils -> logMsg : HTTPConnectionPool(host='', port=8096): Read timed out.

Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 No problem!!! Log attached with server running! kodi.log 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Thank you, this log makes much more sense. What title did you try to play and didn't work in the last log?
Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Hello again!!! As I said in my first posts, Media4 files with special characters don't play and their attempts are not written in the log. When i try to play them, kody says: The file is no longer available. Would you like to remove it from library?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Oh ok, well could you give the title so I can try it? I have content with special characters (French) as well and don't have issues playing them.
Serjudo 4 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah, I have many examples because it happens with all files: Krampáck.avi El Corazón del Guerrero.avi Gigoló.avi etc... Oddly, files with special characters in the others Medias, play smoothly, only it fails in Media4 (Synology NAS) 1
