Completed API: allow duration to be supplied for strm files (to allow resume)

You mean a log from the refresh process or from playback afterwards?

A log of the playback after you've refreshed the item.

Ok will do it soon, but I’m absolutely sure that this won’t change anything, as I did it multiple times for other purposes before.

"Also when an external srt subtitle is selected before play, Emby theater never plays the srt and sometimes it plays the default embedded subtitle track instead."

 

Exactly the same thing happens to me aswell, but didnt describe it like you did @@Senna

 

@

Angelblue05 any news about this too?

Any idea what would be causing this? The server returns the container as mkv even if it's a strm. The filename is The Secret Man.1080p.dca.mkv.strm

Here it is, refreshed the movie and playing it back in Kodi, no changes unfortunately.

Yeah, I guess we'll wait on what Luke says. I'm not familiar with how the server works. If we can fix this, then we are one step closer to getting this to work.

[horstepipe 422]

Okay,

this is how the content of my strm files look like if it helps:

https://url/default.py?mode=video&filename=xxx

@@Luke just caught my eye that since v3.3.1.5 .nfo files are being created in my media folders, although I have the option to save metadata within media folders disabled. Is this a requirement for the new strm file features?

Horstepipe is using direct stream passthrough so if he plays playsback a strm pointing to a mkv file on a http server, it will receive back a MKV file but I think the http server will deliver back an application/octet-stream type (and not video/x-matroska).  I'll double check this, but I think Google returns an application type video/* for everything except MKV.  KODI itself does not have issues playing back the same stream via a STRM file.

 

His issue only happens when he's playing back in Emby for KODI.

Sorry what do you need to know?

When we use the server to get playback info for strm, the container key says mkv instead of strm. We tried refreshing the entry but it won't budge. I'm not sure how to detect the strm otherwise. The filename ends with mkv.strm

Would it make more sense to insist the strm files are named without mkv, such as "title (year).strm"?

That's correct

Basically why it doesn't work in Emby for Kodi but in Kodi :-)

just tried to remove the mkv part from one of my strm file names and the problem persists, refreshed it in Emby server and the problem persists.

[Angelblue05 4132]

The add-on sends the strm path directly to Kodi. I have strm file and the container returned is strm...

Ok guys, I cannot keep doing this. Please post your Kodi log. You say the problem persists, but now it might be for different reasons, so stop wasting time, post your log to help get this move along and cut the useless back and forth. I would really appreciate it. I say that with all the love in the world [emoji4]I just would really like to get this resolved in a timely manner.

@@Angelblue05, hang on, there is probably nothing you can do right now.

[Angelblue05 4132]

Is this happening because I'm using PlaybackInfo from the server? If so then I can probably figure out a way to adjust to it. Maybe looking at the original item for that particular thing.

Can you try this build, I don't think it will fix the issue but it should hopefully get further. Please provide a new Kodi log in that event. Thank you

Works like a charm. Thank you very much!!!

(doesn't matter whether the strm name ends with *.mkv.strm or *.strm

Can you refresh my memory? Is this an issue with Emby for Kodi or does it happen with all players? (Webclient is good to quickly validate).
