I haven’t found an install guide for the native path install yet.

i don't know the exact method but i know the general overview

in emby, library sources need to have a path set for native which would be an smb/nfs path
the docker container must be reachable on the network via smb/nfs so you have to set that up in docker
once those are satisfied i believe just setting the addon up in native mode "just works"

i only tried this once and it was with jellyfin and probably a year ago so that's the best i remember

*i run in addon mode, native was just to see how it worked

it's slow because i'm only doing newly purchased movies and not yet backdating the rest so dual setups are running
jellyfin+emby run in docker containers on the server and do a decent job of sharing the library folders
and to try and unify all the metadata i wrote a simple python script to scrape tmdb directly to NFO and download the remote art from fanart.tv

Good luck on your migration and I'll keep an eye on your progress here via your posts.  That is always a bit of a lift to make that kind of move, changing media servers.  You and I probably wrote some of the same TMDB  / fanart.tv Python code. I added this capability into the Mezzmo Artwork Checker more as a way for folks to create standalone NFO files and download artwork.  

I looked at the BDMV option in the past with Mezzmo.  It is fully supported but I decided long ago to standardize some of the underlying formats (i.e. eliminate VC-1 containers, embed subtitles when appropriate so I don't have to manually select subtitles  on certain rips where I know they are needed etc..).  The tools I use make the adding new media process pretty simple.  Not as simple as BDMV but I've got it down to a science.  Where I really save time is on the metadata side.   Mezzmo metadata tools, automatic media discovery and the additional tools I wrote make that process so smooth, I'd be hard pressed to go a different direction.


Thanks,

Ok. I’ll try Mezzmo in a bit. Is there a free version or free trial?

Yes, Mezzmo has a free trial and a paid pro version.  Here's a features and download  from their website and a comparison link between the free and pro versions.  Note that I believe the download link for the free version isn't the absolute latest version of code but should be good enough to kick the tires.  You can contact their support folks to get a link for the most current version.


Thanks,

Ok. I narrowed it down to it being a Kodi issue on my Dune HD Homatics box.

I played Sudden Death (96Mbps bitrate) and got the following results.

Xbox Series X - Kodi/Jellyfin Addon - No playback issues.


Dune Homatics Box:
-Kodi - Constant playback buffering.
- Kodi/Jellyfin Addon - Constant playback buffering.
- Kodi/Emby Addon - Constant playback buffering.
-Dune Media Player - No playback issues.
-CoreElec/Jellyfin Addon - No playback issues.


Does anyone know why this would happen?

To receive meaningful assistance you will need to provide a full debug log.

The instructions are here... debug log (wiki)

If you are using the Basic Method, then ensure the following is applied...
1.Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging,
2.Restart Kodi
3.Replicate the problem.
4.Upload the log to Kodi Paste Site manually or use the Kodi Logfile Uploader. (wiki) With either method post the link to the log back here.

If you are using the Advanced Method ensure you have correctly created and applied the advancedsettings.xml file (wiki)

In both instances, you should see the word DEBUG throughout the log.

Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs
Do NOT post your logs directly into the forum. Use the Kodi Paste Site. Post the link to your pasted log in the forum

In addition to the debug log mentioned, have you checked what HW decoders you have enabled when Kodi is running on your Dune Homatics box ?

Ok. Here is the log file for the Kodi/Jellyfin Addon playing Sudden Death (96Mbs bitrate) on DuneHD Homatics Box.

looks like it's rate limiting the cache

CFileCache::IoControl - setting maxRate to 99.79 Mbit/s with processWait of 30 ms

try increasing the readbufferfactor and see if it changes that and/or improves - https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Services/Caching
i'm pretty sure that's where it comes from
