Emby Play List not synchronized from Kody to Server

April 28, 2016

Hi,

I have installed the Kodi Embed Plugin (2.1.0) on Kodi (Feb 2015) but when I try to sync the playlist / nodes to my server (192.168.1.80:8096) I get a "refresh failed error". What could be the issue ?

I can access to the Emby UpnP server from my kodi / raspberry machine and watch movies ....

Kodi Version : Feb 2015

Raspbian Gnu/Linux 7 (wheezy) Linux Kernel 3.12.31

Regards

Charles

The addon does not sync anything from kodi to emby.... The sync is only from emby to kodi

May 2, 2016

The title of my post wasn't correct. I would like to say from Emby Server to Kody.

Is the "sync the playlist / nodes" feature what should be done the first time we install the addon on Kody (sync process taking 1-2 hours on kody from emby server) ?

How can I check if this sync process took place on my kody raspberry box ?

May 2, 2016

There is something which is strange. I have installed kodi embed plugin (2.2.10) but after rebooting the raspberry machine & kodi, I don't get a prompt to select the Emby server as mentioned within the doc

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki

Once Kodi is running, you will be prompted with our Emby server auto-discovery process. You will need to set up your server and user information.
When your information is set, you will be asked to enter your password if you have one. For your convenience, if you are connected locally to your server and you have an easy-pin in place, you can use it. Otherwise, use your full password.

I have encoded manually the IP address : 192.168.1.80 corresponding to the MAcOS machine where Emby Server is running

May 2, 2016

In the addon settings select to reset database then after the pi reboots you should get the prompt

May 2, 2016

Hi,

I have done what you suggested "select to reset database ". After pi reboots, the plugin has proposed to sync with the server at the address 172.28.1.x. I have answered "No" and encoded the address of my Emby Server running on the MacOS (192.68.1.8). Unfortunately, the manuel sync has failed like also the playlist

So you have another server running that has ip 172.28.1.x ?

What does your mac server show as internal address in the server dashboard?

Edited May 2, 2016 by Vidman

May 3, 2016

I see from your post here: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/34460-Local-&-Remote-Access-:-IP-Address

That the server is showing the same address as kodi is picking up, why not just use that address?

May 3, 2016

The IP address 172.28.128.1 is an address used locally on my MacOS Machine with VirtualBox (VMs machines) and corresponds to a vboxnet adapter

vboxnet5: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 0a:00:27:00:00:05
inet 172.28.128.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.28.128.255

en3: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=10b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_HWTAGGING,AV>
ether 68:5b:35:a2:b7:1f
inet6 fe80::6a5b:35ff:fea2:b71f%en3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
inet 192.168.1.80 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

I will check if I can disable it.

Remark : Is there a way to tell to Emby Server (config file, ...) the IP address to be used when multiple IP networks are defined on a machine ?

May 3, 2016

Well it seems that your kodi box is picking it up

May 3, 2016

I have been able to resolve the problem after removing this Virtual IP Address network (172.168.28.1) on My MacOS X Machine. Now kodi can be synchronized with the Emby server running on my mac (192.168.1.80)

Additional question :

When I would like from kodi to watch a movie, serie, Do I have to select under movie menu -> files -> Add UpNP Server OR do I have to select Menu -> Addon - Emby -> Movie ?

May 3, 2016

No your movies should be listed under the home screen movie item

Emby Play List not synchronized from Kody to Server
