I can only play movieson my phone...

Hiiii guys,,,

 

I am brand new to emby and the whole media server thing in general (i ripped my first 4 movies last night). Thanks in advance for your patience with my noobiness.

 

I have a server setup on my LAN.  I have connected to the server locally a Sony Bravia 4k TV, my Windows 10 computer and a Galaxy S7+.  All that went swimmingly well, not a single issue with installation and configuration.  It only took me about 20 minutes to get it all setup.ShowBox Mobdro VidMate

 

The problem: When i try to play any of the ripped movies on the TV or Windows 10 machine, the little circle thing just spins and spins, it never plays.  Everything works great on my phone, movies play immediately.  I have no trouble playing home movies (shot on cell phones) to any device.  I can also play all the movies on my windows 10 machine in windows media player both from the local windows drive and over the LAN from the server (i am assuming this indicates that the windows machine is capable of playing the files in the native format?)

 

I am not sure where to start with troubleshooting, or even where to post my question on these forums.... is this a server issue, a client issue or an issue with the way I rip or convert the files?

 

Any help with where to start would be appreciated.  This is getting super frustrating.... i am hoping i have just missed a checkbox somewhere. 

 

Thanks

I have a similar problem, but for me only certain Videos (ex. Crazy Race 2 - Warum die Mauer wirklich fiel.mp4) dont play on the Webplayer and the XboxOne App, but on my ios12.1 device without any Problem. I even uninstalled the Server and installed it again, same problem as before. The Videos Play normal in vlc/Mediaplayer on my pc. My Serverlog is attached below.

Hi. In this log session what did you play and when?  What, exactly, happened on the app end?
