Heuer 76 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I have been using Emby for Kodi over the last week or so with the SPMC fork on my Shield TV. Everything was working perfectly unti, I tried play a movie with True-HD which caused the system to hang. After rebooting the SATV I can access my files from SPMC itself and they play correctly but if I try Emby I get a message saying 'Emby server error check logs'. I have tried uninstalling Emby and reinstalling and then doing a totally fresh install of SPMC but as soon as I install the Emby add-on I get the error message. The logs seem to suggest an error creating a port map. EATV works perfectly on the Shield as does EA and Theatre. Plex can also find my library and play but not Emby for Kodi. Any thoughts? My experiments with a fresh copy of Kodi and Emby are at about the 19:00 mark. Log attached. server-63614129839.txt
Luke 42078 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Hi, have you made sure that Emby Server is started up and running? Can you access from other devices?

Heuer 76 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Hi, have you made sure that Emby Server is started up and running? Can you access from other devices? Emby server is working and running - I can immediately switch to EATV when SPMC fails. Interestingly I get an error when I try to start the log uploader. Anyway here is the SPMC log file which I grabbed manually. EDIT: Just updated to 2.3.9 and everything is working again. Seems to have been something odd in 2.3.8? spmc.log Edited November 8, 2016 by Heuer 1
CBers 7450 Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Just out of curiosity, why are you using SPMC over Kodi ?? I know SPMC is primarily for Android, but the normal Kodi works fine on my 2 Shield TVs.
Heuer 76 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Just following advice that the Kodi team had abandoned the Android platform and the developer had released a fork, ergo it was what I chose to test. I normally use EATV. But everything I have read says SPMC is superior on the Shield, particularly when it comes to playback (D audio passthrough for example). With the Aeon MQ7 skin it looks damn good so I imagine I will start using it more. "SPMC has over Kodi: HD Audio passthrough (inc Atmos) Add possibility to choose IEC or RAW passthrough (via passthrough device) Autostart at boot (this is huge for wife friendly factor) GUI size setting (Allow 4k gui on Shield) Only give codec priority to Mediacodec(Surface) for 4K Android TV recommendations and voice search SSL enabled MySql Setting to force SMB v1 Basic Bluray 3D iso playback Stop video playback when screen goes off The ever good ol' "Import All" option Add reboot & shutdown on rooted devices Add support for AudioFormat::ENCODING_IEC61937 (Android N IEC passthrough) Boost center channel on downmix HQ scalers GUI selection of H/W decoders additional "ffmpeg" s/w deinterlace (this is a huge one for many)" Edited November 8, 2016 by Heuer 1
