[Biachi 0]

Hi There

 

Newbie to Kodi and emby . I installed emby server on a windows 10 PC and some libraries are on it . I also have another win 7 machine that has Movies and TV shows on it .Localy on the Emby server I can play all items localy and the content from the other Win 7 PC .

 

However if i go to my bedroom I can see all content  but I am unable to play anything from the mapped Drive media that resides on the windows 7 pc  "Playlist cant find next item to play" .I can however play everything that resides on the main Win 10 Pc .
 

I have emby addon installed on all machines .

Hi there, welcome. can you be more specific about what screen exactly is showing you this error? Is this happening in Emby for Kodi, or Emby Server, or somewhere else? Screenshots can be very helpful too. Thanks.

This isn't just a Windows issue, I have a FreeBSD server running Emby, and Arch Linux running Kodi with the plugin. After many many hours of scanning on both the server and kodi client, my movies, tv series, and music show up in kodi. When I click any media I get "Playlist: Can't find a next item to play" and then "Playback failed: One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more information about this message.". These two message cycle, first one, then the other.

I've never heard of this error. @@Angelblue05 do you know?

Yeah, it usually means Kodi can't locate your files to play them. Post your Kodi log after trying playback: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/17599-how-to-report-a-problem/

I was able to get around this exact issue for movies and TV by doing two things:

#1 making sure there was no MySQL DB set in advancedsettings.xml on Kodi.

#2 setting up the nfs direct paths (Library -> Path Substitution)

 

That and about two days of scanning on both the server and Kodi. The LibreElec Raspberry Pi2 Kodi box got maybe a dozen "Emby lost sync please reboot" errors but it seemed to be making progress..
