SamES 1056 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Got it, I can see that now. FYI, the release zip's are just a standard zip format so you should be able to zip the source with the same folder format and provide a file name in the same format and then you can add it to your IIS. Did you actually get that to load, I know you had problems initially?
SamES 1056 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 @@SamES would it be possible for you to add your changes and make a v1.08 and upload to GitHub? I can, but it would be pretty much untested. I just grabbed the file from the 2.x release. I could probably just modify the single dts entry and channel count in the existing if that's all it really needs.

SamES 1056 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Actually, I'm not sure who is hosting the D-series version of the app as it is hosted differently to the 2.x version. Therefore, it may not even be possible to publish a later version. (Maybe this is why there is no 'official' 1.0.7)

I'm hosting the Emby Server on OpenMediaVault NAS (Debian server). May be a way to use that Linux Server ?

SamES 1056 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I'm just conscious of how much effort we want to put into fixing this. Even the 2.x version is not really maintained anymore and I don't have any way of testing these changes. I expect you will find numerous issues as you go along. As long as the core video playback is working, that is important and it's generally not too bad to fix small issues. With this change it is now up to date with the 2.x app so that shouldn't be a problem now anyway. I never used the photos feature in the app so I'm not that familiar with the section of code. I would really just be guessing to try and find the problem. Sorry. 1
FrostByte 5392 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 @@SamES So is 1.08 (or, whatever the new version is) on GitHub now? I may just remove the IP from the instructions so that people get the corrected version with DTS and can host it on their own server. Not sure it's worth acquiring a new IP for this for the amount of users. I can just link to the other pinned post for D-series installs.
SamES 1056 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 When Luke merges it the I will build a release. Depends on whether you want to leave the IP up and note that it is restricted to 1.0.6 for those that just want a simple method, and others can grab the package and host themselves.
FrostByte 5392 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Okay, can decide that later after Luke is done I suppose. Not sure many people will be able to use 1.06 since Emby hasn't used DCA to identify DTS in a long time. But I suppose I could leave it for those who absolutely don't want to set up their own webserver and just add something for those who want the newest version.
