EmbyCon problem with direct file playback in Kodi

[muzicman0 84]

I am trying to use Kodi to play back my Emby library so that I can take advantage of EDL support.  It works great on some files, but others it won't play.  For instance, I have 4 episodes recorded of Manifest.  Episode 1, 3, and 4 won't play, but episode 2 will.  All of these are in the same folder.  There are other files from other series that will play, and still others that will not.  In other words, it seems random.  I also haven't been able to find any common denominator.

 

If I use one of the HTTP methods, they all play fine, but then I lose EDL support.

 

If I look at the Kodi logs, it says there is a 'conflict of credentials...no idea what that means, or why it works on some files, but not others....here is the log from Kodi:

I'm hoping that maybe someone has seen something similar.  I can't find support online directly for the plugin.

Hi, I don't know if this is a problem that we can really help you with. It appears to be specific to your local environment. Notice the error message:

2020-02-03 19:55:55.349 T:1296 WARNING: XFILE::CWin32SMBDirectory::ConnectAndAuthenticate: Can't connect to "\\10.1.0.122\rtv" with username "xxxx" and with password. Error code: 1219

I don't know what error code 1219 is, does Kodi have documentation of it's error codes? But I'm going to take an educated guess. It either is not able to reach \\10.1.0.122, or the authentication did not succeed.

That's what I would have thought as well, except that other files play back fine.  I have even wiped the system and reinstalled everything (on the Kodi side), but it still won't work.  It is consistently the same files that won't play.  I have tried 1 of my 2 shields, and a PC.  Both have the same issue.  So weird.  I appreciate the response though.

I guess we need to know what that error code means. Found it:

I think it's just an smb error code so see this:

I'm guessing it has something to do with having the shared resource on the same drive as the Emby server.  Since I have the same content on another PC (It's a One Drive folder), I changed the smb address, and it works fine now.

 

Thanks for the help, as always.
