Problems with Emby (on server) and kodi (on PC)

[eVal 2]

Hello,

I recently installed Emby to use as back-end, server or whatever it's called. And I've run into some troubles. Here is my setup:

 

I have a Synology that runs Emby (the app) I also run Sonarr, CP and sabNzb on this device.

Then on my computer (connected to the same network) I have Kodi and the Emby plugin.

 

Now, what I find odd, is that I can see all the content from Kodi, but I cannot play any of it. It does not react at all sometimes and if I spam a movie for example a lot of messages pops up, "Can not play this content" or something like that. I will find out exactly what it is later.

 

So basically, I can play from Emby (on the webpage) I can view content and mark as watched etc in Kodi, but I can NOT watch anything.

Does this has to do with pathing or something with that SBM password? I never figured out what to have there. If it's my login on my synology or what, so that is currently empty. I've tried with both my synology username/password and everything else I could think of.

 

 

This is what the logfile says: (I think I got most of it, from when i press a movie)

This is solved - pathing issue. Thanks for reading.
