Play movie fails with transcoding+subtitles+non-admin permission

[bolderbast 12]

Hi all,

 

Versions:

• Emby Server 4.4.0.40 running on up-to-date Arch Linux
• Kodi 18.6
• Emby for Kodi addon 4.1.19

Issue:

• Playback without transcoding works with & without subtitles
• Playback using transcoding works without subtitles
• Playback using transcoding fails with subtitles
• Playback using transcoding works with subtitles, if the user has "Allow this user to manage the server" permission in Emby Server

Kodi log is attached.

 

Does anyone else have this issue?

Would this be an Addon issue or a Server issue?

Playback using transcoding with subtitles from the Emby web interface does work (without "Allow this user to manage the server" permission), so my guess would be that this is a Addon issue?

 

Any suggestions?

Hi there, did you forget to attach the log?

Seems like it... Here it is!

kodi.log

Thanks. Can you please attach the emby server log as well? Thanks.

[bolderbast 12]

Sure, just reproduced the issue and grabbed the server log. It's attached.

 

Would be great if we can find the cause, I'd hate to let simple users have Admin privileges... :-)

Were you able to find any clue in the logs?

Looks like the add-on needs an update.

@@sualfred can you try this out when you have a chance:

Thanks.

Hi guys, any progress on this? I'd love to revoke admin privileges from my regular users!

I'm seeing the same problem, wondered what it was and saw this thread.

 

Any update on the fix?

I found out that the latest version (4.1.19) doesn't contain the fix (it's from December '19). If you pull the latest code from github and install manually, the issue is indeed fixed.

Just have to wait for a new release I guess...

We'll work on getting a new release out. Thanks for the feedback !
