Emby Theater; Blu-ray Files play DVD file do Not play

[bnwbass 3]

When using ET on my Laptop PC, I can play B-Ray files but not DVD collection files.  For any DVD movie when I select play, nothing happens, no msg just nothing.  Tried over 20 different tittles.  These files all work when using  Fire-TV interface /application.

Are they folder rips or MKV/MP4?

All of my files are original file structure rips.

There have been some issues with folder rips. I think Luke is working on it, but in the mean time, try a complete uninstall and reinstall of theater and see if that helps.

I do get this Java error

 

 

I will try uninstall/re-install

As far as I'm aware, Emby doesn't use Java at all

Re-install on the first Laptop win 7, still will not playing DVD files.  So here is the strange thing now, I loaded ET on a new Laptop win 10 machine and the behavior is the same as the win 7 machine.  Can play Blue -r but to DVD.  I know all of the DVD file rips are good based on media info and the fact I can open with other media players directly like VLC.

 

What does ET use as the default player ? I there something within windows I need to enable?

There's nothing to enable. I think this is in Luke's hands, now.

Try refreshing it from the web app detail screen under the 3-dot menu. See if that has an effect on Theater.

@@bnwbass, I recommend you just setup VLC to work as an External Player (for DVD folder rips) for Emby Theater:
