Hi.

 

I just updated Kodi to 17.1.

 

Some of my movies refuses to play in Kodi with the error message "unable to direct play file".

 

This only applies to some of my files, and the same files works using my web browser.

 

Log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24486435/

 

Can someone help me out here?

 

As far as I can tell it somehow cant locate the file with Emby on Kodi. The patch is correct, if I paste the path in to explorer the file plays. So for some reason Emby wont locate the file even if it is the correct path.

I was looking for the file here:

 

smb://server/shares/movies/The Great Wall (2016)/The Great Wall (2016) WEBDL-1080p.mkv

 

Is that path valid?

I the log you can see I tried to watch three different movies with the same path.

 

Green Mile

The Great Wall

Very weird.  

 

If you manually browse there in the file browser in Kodi does it play ok?
