screwfaze 38 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Hi, I have been using kodi with emby addon for a while now and have managed to get direct play working but since upgrading to the new beta it stopped working again. Can anyone please look at my logs and advice. Thanks, Al Edited January 30, 2016 by screwfaze
xnappo 1611 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 So here is the path it is trying to play: smb://alex/Adventure/The Lone Ranger 2013 BluRay.m2ts If that is right (and it looks reasonable, if alex is the machine, and Adventure is a shared folder) then maybe it is your password. We moved the password out of the path directly, and into passwords.xml. Make sure you have a smb username/password set. 1
screwfaze 38 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 Hi, Thanks for reply I have definitely got the network credentials I even tried removing them then adding back and reset then kodi database. Thanks, Al
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) No need to reset database. In network credentials, for server, you put in alex, not the ip, correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 24, 2016 by Angelblue05
screwfaze 38 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 Yes server is Alex and not IP address. Thanks, Al
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Any other ideas guys ? Thanks, Alex
CBers 7450 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Try ALEX in uppercase. Or, check the passwords.xml file and see if the details are correct.
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Hi, I have tried with ALEX server uppercase name and checked the password.XML and definitely correct. Thanks, Alex 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Have you restarted Kodi? Or the device since? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Hi Guys, Thanks I have done that and still the same. I have attached some logs. The same addon actually works on my PC with Kodi so not sure why this doesnt work. Thanks, Al
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Can you try something? Go to settings > add-ons > install from zip > navigate via smb to you shares, can Kodi access them? Or does it ask you for a password, let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Hi, It indeed does ask for a password. I have tried to enter this and save and reboot but still does not direct play. Thanks, Al
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Ok and when you entered it, what does your passwords.xml looks like now? Is it different than when you previously checked? Sorry my helping ability is very limited at the moment. My computer is damaged. Waiting for the replacement parts to arrive, hopefully Wednesday (meaning I can't view logs) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 25, 2016 by Angelblue05
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Hi, Sorry hard for me to tell as I did not really memorise what was there before just looked at the username and password, it looks the same though. Thanks, Al

OE definitely cannot see your SMB share. If it works on your PC I would go compare your Emby settings and passwords.xml file from your PC to your Pi. You have to be doing something different on your Pi. FWIW - I have had issues using SMB shares (from Windows boxes) in OpenELEC when using the computer name in the share. My experience has been more stable using the direct IP address of the Emby Server. 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for you input @@mellomade I had forgotten about computer name vs ip address. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
screwfaze 38 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks guys for all the replies I will try again tomorrow and change library to use ip addresses instead. Will report back with the results. Thanks, Al
MSattler 390 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks guys for all the replies I will try again tomorrow and change library to use ip addresses instead. Will report back with the results. Thanks, Al Have you tried the IP Address? Perhaps the DNS/Netbios resolution is failing. Make sure to set a static IP too. 1
screwfaze 38 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Hi Guys, I have re-added my library using the ip address and can confirm that direct play working for my movies really loving this. I have one last request my tv shows from my nas are still direct streaming need some help with that now will attach the log. Thanks, Alex

Without knowing your network it is hard to know why it happened though.

screwfaze 38 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Maybe because my library is still being scanned? I will wait and test when this is completed. Regards, Alex
screwfaze 38 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Hi, So I am almost there now direct play is working for some of my shows but failing for others please find logs attached as usual any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Al
screwfaze 38 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Hi Guys, Still having a problem with this. What am I doing wrong here, the only difference is the stuff that refuses to direct play is in a different folder any suggestions? Thanks, Al
MSattler 390 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Sounds like it's permission based. Can you share what permissions and ownership is set for each share?
screwfaze 38 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 It's a mybookliveduo and permissions are set from the root folder which the other folders are inside. Thanks, Al
