I can’t seem to get Chorus/Chorus2 to stream my videos. I have tried multiple browsers and both vlc/html5.
It opens up the HTML 5 player but loads permanently.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Additional Information:
Media is mounted on a ntfs usb drive
PC I am trying to stream runs windows 10
Doesn’t even allow me to download the movie
Both Chorus and Chorus2 failed to work for me
The remote control aspect works fine.
Kind Regards
Kyle
You should be seeking chorus support from its developers for a more timely and specific resolution to your issues.
Thought it might have something to do with a compatibility issue between Chronus and OSMC as no-one has mentioned this sort of issue on their forums.
Actually, chorus advises that all types of media are not able to be streamed by using their add-on. The types of files that work are very limited.
I suggest providing them with a debug log demonstrating the failure is probably your best course of action.
For anyone who stumbles upon this page. Its an issue with how OSMC OS handles external devices rather than Chorus. OpenELEC has the same problem.
Here is a workaround:

OSMC is set up to dynamically provision attached medium and mount it at /media. The above steps involve creating a symbolic link, which is not a good workaround. There is no guarantee that disk will be available at boot (either due to it not being attached; the label being renamed; or it being powered down).
I will investigate the issue and a proper solution

Hello Everyone,
i seem to face a problem with Chorus streaming. I have also pos… ted in xbmc forums where jez500 suggested to post here if my problem is not resolved after trying Gotham.
Well, also in Gotham, i face the same problem. I cannot stream music via Chorus. When i find a song i would like to stream, i press the 3 dots and choose "play in browser". The tab "Local" and the player's color changes to light gray but the song doesn't play and it does not even get the song duration.
After some tryouts i have found out that i cannot even download a song via the browser. The link that the browser gives is like the following:
http://192.168.0.120:8080/vfs/%2fvar%2fmedia%2fUSBHDD2%2fShares%2fMusic%2fUplifting%20Trance%2fTransistance%201-12%2fTransistance%20Vol%2012%2f07.Lunatic-Love%20craft.mp3
I am afraid that the %20 symbol is breaking the actual link. The location of this specific song on my drive is /var/media/USBHDD2/Shares/Music/Uplifting Trance/Transistance 12/Transistance Vol 12/07.Lunatic-Love craft.mp3
Could you please let me know how this could be fixed or if anyone has faced a problem like the above?
Thank you very much
Hope this helps
