Can't skip forward in videos in WMC and loss of quality

[subby 2]

Since a few days ago, not sure if happened after last update or not, I can't skip forward or back in videos. And I seem to have loss video quality. I'm running latest version of server 3.0.7200.0 and WMC App 3.0.307.0.

 

I've attached log from WMC App.

 

How do i tell if playback is streaming over internet or local network?

The app is not able to directly access your media.

How do i fix this?

Hi there, welcome. Please take a look at our wiki on library setup.

 

The short answer is if you setup the libraries in a way that Emby for WMC can directly access the paths, then that will ensure it plays in the best way possible.

I think i have fixed it. I can skip forward now and video quality is good. Just a little stutter at start of playback.

 

I entered in path substitutions for my library's. Seemed to of fixed it, will test more
