jachin99 82 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Well thats the problem!!! I need EMBY!!!. All joking aside, I'll keep looking. I don't think the remote connection is completing. I don't have remote control of emby via frontview either so I think something just needs to be cleared out or refreshed somewhere. I always get thrown off by this because it works for movies and TV but not Cable, or remote control (Which I rarely use so I never really know if its working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKingOne 0 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 First allow me to say THANK YOU!! to the community for all of the help. This forum without questions helped me to get systems up and running. Attached I am dropping a quote, unquote guide for doing an integration between Emby, FrontView+ and the MoviePoster app. These are the steps that worked for me after a whole lot of reading through here. Thought id share it with the community and hopefully help someone else down the line. As stated in the text file, this is not a complete how to guide. This guide assumes that you have a functional Emby server. Best of luck to you all with your projects. INSTALLATION GUIDE.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukefrukem 1 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hi Glenn, or others. I might be having user error problem, but I cannot seem to identify what is going on and hoping for some guidance. I haven't made it past the setup screen adding my Plex Server; Remote IP, Remote Port, User name and password all are correct. I can connect to my plex server from inside and outside my network on several other devices. But when I click the verify button I get: "Bad Remote Parameter. Please check that remote is running and correctly configured" Is there something obvious I am missing here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukefrukem 1 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 For clarity, I'm running the latest version of FV on a pocket PC; trying to connect to my Plex Server running on my Synology server. I've verified my username and password by logging into plex on my phone and another PC. IP address and port are staring me in the face in the address bar. So I'm not sure why It can't connect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INSTALLATION GUIDE.txt 8.61 kB · 18 downloads I'm still trying to get this to work, so I switched to Emby, but that XML file and directory you say to change does not show up. There is no configuration directory in the Emby directory. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennNZ 83 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 (edited) Hi! Plex is very poorly supported, and perhaps not at all anymore from what you describe. I would be guessing they have changed their API so that Frontview no longer works with Plex. If I have significant motivation - I’ll have a look, and see if easy fix - but basically Plex support has always been basic. Emby still should work, and continues to appropriately connect according to my testing. I haven’t seen these helpful Installation guide instructions. Thanks! For Emby you need to install via Emby plugins ‘store’ the Frontview API. Then select the emby instance you wish to report to Frontview (FV) in the web selector. If the web selector is a bit dicey can edit the XML file. (I would guess that is what the installation.txt is referring to). But all going well should need to as the web selector should display the instances. Edit: Checked the Installation txt - all looks good! In that the instructions manually install the emby Frontview API plugin. Although can use the Emby plugin download directory. https://postimg.cc/xqKp7QPQ https://postimg.cc/4HCjZFY5 https://postimg.cc/ZvtYgH4k If this doesn’t aid - Probably need to start from the beginning as to what you have done.

Glenn Ah okay. I delete the API that was installed manually (and broken), restarted my emby server, installed the API from the catalog, restarted the emby server and I can FINALLY select a device from the drop down. That part was broken for me. Everything is setup and working now. Thank you for your help. Is there any easy way to get those cool motion posters now? Or do I have to fiddle with the source?

Teddyknuddel 73 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Frontview no longer works with Emby Server 4.8.0.80 I can no longer see any devices in the list. An update/refresh does not help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddyknuddel 73 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 No reaction? Never mind - luckily I only use Kodi as Emby can no longer cope with 4K material. Kodi + Frontview is fortunately not dependent on Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The Emby plugin needs a compatibility update for 4.8: Is the plugin source code available? I'm happy to help with it as it will probably only take me a few minutes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
