Dune player

Qccasionally I will have a problem with Emplexer where upon trying to play a file it reports "error: format is not supported". These are files that played fine previously. I tried power cycling the modem, power cycling my Dune, accessing files through NFS or SMB and then trying Emplexer again. Nothing seems to help. These same files will play fine when accessed though NFS or SMB file browser on the Dune. Is there some way to force Emplexer to restart, or resync or something. The files are typically MKV format.

Previously, after hours of mucking about eventually they start working again, but I haven't figured out the magik steps to get it to happen.

edit: been screwing around with it for an hour now and nothing will play at all. Time to delete it and try reinstalling.

When is the new Emplexer version expected?

That problem occurs in v2?

Send-me your emplexer log please.

When is the new Emplexer version expected?

Tomovich and all,
Sorry for my very long absence, the world cup in Brazil is taking 110% of my time.
Probably i will only have time to come back to develop the emplexer  after the world cup.
But stay calm, i will came back, the emplexer project are not died.

Have a nice WC then!

thanks to the developer for the great solution. it is useful for me even in current stage (rel 1). some problem with playback from info screen only.  checked on different. 303d,  reinstall plugin too.  so playback is always not working from info screen for any movies,  but the same movie is playing perfectly from "the list" .  i have re-created library. on pms,  and checked with different. library. the error iam getting is "format no supporting" .  pms 0.9.9.10.4 is runing on nas qnap,  the last release, dune 303d have been updated to latest _b8 firmware. log attached. in the log the following events collected. 1. start plugin. 2. select "Movies"  library.  3. select movie.  4 pressed play for playback. watching.

 . 5. playbak stoped.  6. press info 7. enter from info screen for playback. getting format is no supporting. kindly sort it out.  Happy WC and good luck to Brazil))

does emplexer 2.0 B03 plays external subs?
 
most of my series have subs but can't get them played over emplexer 2.
some work, i think those have been within the mkv and are not external...
 
naming is same as mkv file.

There is new firmware for Dune boxes avialable.

Perhaps it can fix subtitles issue

Version "140610_0131_b8" (BETA version)

Changes since 140425_0132_b8:
Subtitles are now supported during plugin playback.

- Internal improvements in plugins upgrade mechanism.

Ivklim, I can see the problem in your log.
The 1.0 version is frozen, i will not make any updates on that version, but i'll  bring to 2.0 all features that 1.0 have.

Already added again the vod playback on emplexer 2.0, everything work well.
That new update brought some new undocumented features VERY interesting to plugin developers, i can't wait to come back emplexer development.

malinwa001,

 

For now emplexer 2.0 don't recognise external subs because i use playback over http, external subtitles only support over smb/nfs.

Support for nfs/smb is in top of my queue.

MikeDelta, your PMS has password?

Try to disable it in Settings -> Show Advanced Settings -> myPlex -> Require authentication on local networks.

Emplexer1 works for months here, very nice plugin :). Emplexer2 doesn't work yet when I installed it for the first time yesterday, I have also php errors. I have password disabled, because I don't need it. hereby also my log.

Latest B8 firmware on my Zappiti player. I can wait for a solution, because I'm also enjoying the WC and a working emplexer1 ;)   

Hum, wait, edit.... I see in the log now that I have a wrong port setting, should be 32400.

Will report back.

Mart1002,

 

You got the release version https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/releases ?

if you clone the 2.0 branch, probably you will have some errors.

I got it running   :)

I used now the emplexer2 zip from here https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/releases.

and not from https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/tree/2.0 as I did the first time.

Nice, I use now also the plex android and ipad apps with emplexer2. I hope for a nfs option in it later on, as emplexer1 works very good with it. I like to have all subtitles options as I now have with nfs and dune playback mode in emplexer1. 

Could emplexer1 and/or emplexer2 work over the internet from my holiday place to my plexserver at home if I take the dune with me on holiday?

I have there 30Mbps download speed and an upload speed 20Mbps at home. I know emplexer doesn't do transcode yet. Or will I get stutter and buffering?

Should I setup there emplexer with my external ip adress from my home and the port specified in my plex server settings? It's not 32400 there, but a manually one which I also have forwarded in my router at home.

Nice that you can use emplexer2 :).

Any suggestion or bug report are very welcome.

NFS will come on next release and with the new firmware version VodPlayback work's like a charm with emplexer and NFS.
For now for use the emplexer with a remote PMS you need to have access without password to that server https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201105343-Advanced-Server-Settings (allowedNetworks) or wait a little more, very soon i will add myPlex support and the emplexer will able to access remote servers.

This is awesome, thank you!! I have a Dune HD 3.0 which plays nearly everything beautiful at full quality (no transcode) with HD audio and am now able to use it just as a Chromecast basically with Plex from my iPhone/iPad. Very nice.

I have to execute emplexer each time I start my Dune. Is there a way to automatically have the Dune run emplexer? I intend to use it mostly from my iOS phone and would be much easier if my family didn't have to remember to start emplexer app first.

Looking forward to testing any upcoming enhancements whenever they're ready.

With the new firmware update this should help a lot for emplexer i hope:
