[Guest]

Hi, Emby the player does not play ISO file bluray?

Hi, which Emby app are you trying to play with?

Hi, I tried to run the site Emby Server, version 3.1.6080.19712

Update to the latest version of Emby Server and you'll get a better error message.

 

But the issue is that playback of ISO in the web app is experimental. It will not always work. For best results use plain video files.

Of course. It is that in my collection I use only the best quality files and I have no problem seeing them in Kodi.

My problem is the clients who access my Emby Server. Thank you very much.

They will work in Emby apps that support ISO:

 

• Emby Theater for Windows
• Emby for WMC
• Emby for Kodi

Mkv can be the same quality as iso fyi

I don't know whether ISO or folder rips is the absolute least-compatible way to store your media, but let's say they're both really problematic.  Storing the exact  same video and audio streams in an MKV would wildly increase the number of devices that can play your files.  That's without converting or altering the AV streams in any way other than moving them to a standard container.  Try dumping a movie or three to MKV with MakeMKV or something similar to see how very simple it is to set up.  You'll lose all those great unskippable ads at the start of discs but I learned to live with that loss and you may too.

If Carlos wants to keep the files as .iso or Blu-Ray folders then so be it. I personally want to avoid remuxing whatever comes my way and if the Blu-Ray is ripped(99% of the time), then you can skip those titles altogether: Kodi or Or DVDFab players would take you directly to the movie. I prefer investing the time it takes remuxing them, doing something else, even if it is little time. What I mean is, maybe people have other needs than what you or me have. For instance, I could say: why lose your time remuxing, when Emby is supposed to remux for you to suit your streaming needs?

You are free to feel that way but these formats are legacy at this point and none of the current tools are probably going to get any better at supporting them.

Is that the official strategy from Emby team regarding these formats? I can explain my reasons for downloading them in this format:

 

1. as English is not my mother language (even if I prefer it for movies), it is not my wife's case, she has sight issues and she prefers dubbed content. It is hard to get dubbed content in Spanish that preserves the original quality of the source. Maybe other users are not as picky regarding quality, but in my TV you(I) can spot the difference, so I get mostly 4K UHD/3D MVC content.
2. I don't like to spend time running the remux as I have to spend enough time, getting the content and sorting it (filebot doesn't like the blu-ray content either).
3. Keeping the ISO/Blu-ray folder intact, allows you to, if needs be to back it up to a disc to be reproduced on any set-top player.
4. Also keeping it in this format, allows you to keep the extras, if you ever cared to watch them.

Maybe we could find middle ground and Emby could provide an automated remux tool, that could get setup at the beginning, allowing you to keep the streams you like, in the language that you need, converting whatever you have in your library for you from the getgo or on-demand as you add anything in this format as a backup and for Emby's use, allowing you to decide if you delete or keep the original blu-ray source.

This topic of keeping the original disc content versus remuxing has been discussed here so many times and the sides will coexists until the optical media has died, but I don't perceive that to be within the next decade. Streaming is the predominant method of content delivery and a remuxed content is closest to this format.

 

Having said this I totally agree with your preferences as I too am keeping certain discs in their original format BDMV folder structure, but playback is on an HTPC using PDVD 16 with AnyDVD running in the background and it has served me well for the past almost 2 years. For me it is the additional extras plus a few TV shows that I keep in BD format. However we will always be part of a niche group. As such you will have to adapt and use what is available to you as you also will need support from the product vendors as changes are being introduced.

 

For this reason expecting Emby to provide an automatic remux is for me a nonstarter and hope the developers do not entertain this idea, as it would take away from product development, enhancement and support for it;s flawless functioning. It is up to the user to provide the content in a format that EMBY will be able to process or use an add on or external playback solution that can be integrated into EMBY. I also believe that the developers here will never provide a true BD menu playback in the EMBY Theater as that addresses a totally different problem the circumventing of BD protection.

@@One2Go, thanks for the feedback. Yes i agree the simplest solution is to require the use of an external player that can accommodate folder rips.

Can't you just use MakeMKV?

Can't you just use MakeMKV?

Yeah, of course I can, I was just expressing my point.

 

In my opinion, I thought that, contrary to what One2Go said, Emby should aim to support as much media formats as possible. I don't mind at all, losing the BR menu, I would just like the playlist parsed for the main title and transcode that along with subtitles. But he is right in the fact that this is probably a niche group of us keeping the whole BR disc, so I(or we) are out of luck.

[Luke 42080]

If this were 2010 I would be all on-board as the audience for this would be much greater. But it's 2018, people want simple, and most have switched over to plain video files. So, blame your fellow community members

Thanks for replying back so promptly

1. Also keeping it in this format, allows you to keep the extras, if you ever cared to watch them.

 

Just FYI - Emby has full support for this without the disc format.

[One2Go 120]

I would just like the playlist parsed for the main title and transcode that along with subtitles.

The BD creators know that certain playback solutions will search for the playlist that is used for the main movie and then create a BD Menu light version or immediate playback of the main movie. Because this is a known fact the disc manufactures are using playlist obfuscation and discs are known to have several hundred playlists for that reason there are sites that list the correct playlist after users trial and error. The Ken Burns 10 disc Vietnam war disc set is just one of the examples. Disc 1 on my PC with PowerDVD 16 has 413 playlists.

 

Again the developers only have a set amount of time and most of us wish that they use that on their perceived product development rather then introducing features for the minority. Sort of like the needs of the many ....
