The second way is what we call using direct paths. This method bypasses the Emby addon altogether by playing the file directly from its place of storage.

So it would be good to know if it is the Emby addon causing issues and if so does turning on use direct paths solve this.

New Log

cheers

We've been doing some digging into this. It appears that the issue is with VOB files, which the Kodi player supports. I'm not sure about DSPlayer, or how the Emby service factors in. From the logs, it looks like you're running an older version of CinemaVision, since the issue with the dummy file that you had before appears to be in there. Let me get you to download the newest release and run through it. If at all possible, try taking DSPlayer out of the equation and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, the issue is with DSPlayer. If it does, the issue could be with the Emby service, or with CinemaVision. We haven't (and frankly don't have time to) look through the code for the Emby service, but if you can get our developer an audience with one of the Emby developers, they might be able to talk out what's happening.

Any ideas?

That's what I am doing and it's working fine. (Except for a little bug that has nothing to do with emby)

Thanks for stepping im85288 it's me having the issues with this addon using dsplayer and ebmy for kodi addon some of the selected intros / bumpers work and some don't then kodi just sits at a blank screen till I exit playback, thats basically the problem

Yea I believe I can send headers, which thats not the problem I am sure I could do that. The issue I was looking to figure out is why does OpenHAB see this is an external device when its on the same network. I will just send the headers if I have to.

cinema vision is hard to setup!

But i cant get my head around how cinemavision is supposed to work? I can get "directory" to work when adding a node. but i want cinema vision to take a random clip from a specific directory?

i also put alot of files in the diffrent audio bumper directory (some m2ts files) but eaven when i play something with DTS master audio i dont get any audio trailers.

the only thing that works is the random apple trailers.

what am i doin wrong?

For the benefit of the previous poster,

I think when you install Cinema Vision, these folders are created automatically.
This is how I did it. First create a folder called “Cinema Vision” in my case Openelec, this was in storage.
Within this
Action, Audio Format Bumpers, Music, Ratings Bumpers, Sequences, Trailers, Trivia Slides, & Video Bumpers.
Within Audio Format Bumpers, create folders, Auro-3D, Datasat, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-X, Other, THX
Now download the different audio bumpers, from http://cinemavision.tv/forum/13-audio-format-bumpers/
& put into the correct folders.
Inside the Ratings Bumpers Folder, create BBFC, DEJUS, FSK, MPAA
Download & unzip the ratings to the correct folder, http://cinemavision.tv/forum/12-ratings-bumpers/

Sequences is a folder I created to save my own sequences.
Trailers, is required if you want to download before you play trailers, if you stream this can stay empty.

Trivia Slides is for downloaded content for slides
Within Video Bumpers create folders, 3D Intro, 3D Outro, Countdown, Courtesy etc
Inside these folders add short movie intros etc,

This is a very quick guide to get you started.

After CV is installed, configure, settings the path to Cinema Vision, update content, OK
Then open CV & edit the settings, personally, I was confused to begin with, & started, by adding one item in the sequence, saving that, seeing if it worked, then adding another.

I did, but still had problems understanding it.

Still not sure what "bumpers" are, I thought they were on the front & back of cars.



It is often said that Britain and America are "two nations divided by a common language".

By the way, thanks to the people who revived this add on.

From the logs, it looks like the sequence was aborted by you before the Audio Format Bumper, and everything else in your sequence but a trailer played without issue. Can I get you to describe in detail what you're seeing and how to recreate it?
