Can't Direct Play


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have Emby for Kodi setup and it was working beautifully...then I moved...and everything went to hell (of course).

 

When I try to access a movie I get an error saying "Direct play failed 3 times, using HTTP" (or something to that effect). I messed around with the settings and achieved nothing.

 

Current Setup

Emby: 

  • Version 3.0.5782.0, Ubuntu 14.04
  • All media is located under /data/*
  • Path substitution: /data/ -> \\192.168.1.115\

Kodi: Version 15.2, Windows 7 x64

 

I've tried accessing the data through Windows Explorer which works fine (\\192.168.1.115\data). Looking through the logs I noticed the plugin keeps trying to access "smb://192.168.1.115/tv/<my show>" and saying it's failing. I've attached the log file for reference.

 

I want to get Kodi to direct play my files as I'm having weird playback issues with HTTP (long buffering, cache full, some videos having issues playing, maybe transcoding errors).

Fix your path substitution "To": \\192.168.1.115\data\
