CBers 7450 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Just noticed that the app says the video I am watching is Direct Play, but in the Dashboard, it says it is Direct Streaming. I always thought this app was Direct Play, which tends to indicate something wrong with the reporting to the Dashboard. @@FrostByte? . Edited September 12, 2015 by CBers

It's always direct streaming since Emby serves the movie and tv is not able to play from file systems like smb share.

FrostByte 5392 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Chess has always said it Direct Played and not Streamed, but I noticed the log in the app says it is streaming just like the Server says. The info screen says it is Direct Playing though.
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Might be a change with the server? I looked way back and found some movies that Direct Played (or at least the log says it did). Subtitles neither auto play using the server settings or are selectable since a server change awhile back also.
sh0rty 714 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I never had a video that direct played, although it says like that when entering info on the remote. Chess said this: None of my videos direct play, all direct stream (the server passes the video to the player, the tv's dont have network share capability) so im almost certain it isnt a path issue (unless you have issues in other clients) - VOB support is very limited, and its most likely that that is causing the problem. 1
CBers 7450 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 I'm sure it always used to, as I've restarted the server whilst watching something without issue, but now the playback stops, which is how I discovered this.
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 When he rewrote the app and asked for everyone's tv settings that's when I thought it started to DP. It's mentioned by him elsewhere also. http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/17819-help-required-direct-play-parameters/
CBers 7450 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 The info page still says Direct Play. Perhaps something has changed on the server side. Will have to wait for @@chessdragon136 to respond I guess.
FrostByte 5392 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I hope chess is doing okay. Maybe @@shorty1483 can help chessdragon136 with some coding
