Roku Direct Play No Longer Working


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys,

 

I am having issues with direct play from my server to my Roku.  I am trying to watch "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" (for reference when looking at the log files), although I tried a couple other movies as well and the server transcoded them all too instead of using direct play.  The interesting thing is that direct play was working yesterday using the same hardware.  The only difference between yesterday and today is that I updated my router firmware, so I am not sure if anyone has seen any issues related to something like this?  Also, I am able to access the share drive from another computer and watch a video file, so I do not think it is a permissions issue, and I have not changed permission between yesterday and today.  I appreciate any help you can give - I have attached an Emby log file and the associated ffmpeg log.

I have an update on this - it still wasn't working on my Roku today (even after rebooting both the server and Roku as a last ditch thing to try).  I decided to try watching from Emby theater on my desktop, and direct play worked fine from there.  I then tried watching on my Roku again, and all of a sudden direct play started working on all of my movies.  Any idea why this may have happened?  The one difference that I noticed in the log between when this did and did not happen is the following line in the log:

Roku SG, No direct play profiles found for Path:

This line appeared when direct play was not working, but was not present when it was (there may have been other differences too, but this was just what I noticed at a quick glance).  This time I was watching Robin Hood; I have attached my latest log for reference if that helps.
