ISO Playback on Emby 3.4.1.0

[Shapiro 1]

I upgraded from Version 3.2.2 to 3.4.1.0.  After upgrading all my ISOs no longer playback.   I added .dvd & .blueray, but that didn't resolve the issue.   I realize that ISO is not recommended.  Going forward I'm ripping as mp4 or mkv.

 

I've built an extensive collection with older DVD ISOs, and converting the ISO files would be a difficult undertaking.

 

Looking at the Emby log, I see a message:

 

"Unknown Profile, No direct play profiles found for Path:".

 

and 

 

 Error processing request

*** Error Report ***

Version: 3.4.1.0

Command line: /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/system/EmbyServer.dll -programdata /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/programdata -ffmpeg /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/bin/ffmpeg -ffprobe /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/EmbyServer/bin/ffprobe -defaultdirectory /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA -updatepackage emby-server-qnap_{version}_x86_64.qpkg

 

 

Is there a patch that needs to be updated? I'd appreciate any help or guidance!

 

Thanks!

Hi, what Emby app are you trying to play from?

[Shapiro 1]

I'm running Emby from a QNAP.  I use Chromecast from Emby iOS and from a Web browser.

Ok, ISO playback is not supported, sorry. It is only supported in Emby apps that can direct play the ISO's, not in apps that would require server transcoding such as the web app. Thanks.

Thanks.  Does the Amazon Firestick support ISO direct play?

[Luke 42077]

No it does not. The only apps that can handle ISO's are Emby Theater, Emby for WMC and Emby for Kodi.

 

And even then you'll have to setup external players. For the best possible experience we recommend converting to mkv. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !
