Emby Blog

Thx ! I'm going to test this with my Raspberry Pi , great work guys ! I'll be back in a few hours....

Well done you guys, brilliant work as always!

So, is this essentially monitoring your Emby library, and making your Kodi database reflect it?  However your voodoo works, I am impressed.  Oh, also, I'm assuming regular ol' 14.2 is fine (now that it's out of RC)?

From what I have seen in the dev threads, that is exactly how the addon works. Really excited to see the devs get a second go-round to make the addon so much better.

Damh! it works great! This is why i moved from Plex to Emby!

Wow, how could this go unnoticed to me. I will give it a try over the weekend, very exciting! Will there also be an announcement from the Kodi team?

Dont think they will announce anything on Kodi side since this is just a addon like any other and has nothing to do with the Official Kodi team .

That means null_pointer, angelblue05, im85288, marcelveldt and myself.  We are the Kodi/Emby team.  Sorry for the confusion!

Ah, got it. Anyhow, this is still beyond awesome and the Kodi folks may still consider an addon announcement. Well done, looking forward to trying things out over the weekend!!!

I can only set my username not the password for MB access?!

Please post questions on the forum instead of here - but that is correct, we don't store your password locally anymore and instead store the API key that gets sent back from the server.  If you restart it should prompt you for the password.

Wow just installed and tried on fresh install of Kodi and I'm blown away! Longtime user of both MB2 and MB3 but always had to keep an install of XBMC/Kodi on the HTPC to appease the wife. This was much easier to set up than my current Kodi XBMB3C combination and the speed at which it works is astounding. As you said initial sync took some time but it has work well with every skin I have used and gives me the best of both worlds the superior back end of Emby with the wife acceptance of Kodi, Hard to believe its a beta, thanks for the great work on this. I very rarely comment but this project deserves praise for an incredible amount hard work to deliverer an excellent 1st experience. Well done!  

Wrong place for this, Just saw the forum page.

I've never used Kodi before, decided to give it a try... I must say I am impressed with the speed of all functions. I think I can stop using Windows Media Center/Emby Classic.

 

great job!!!

do I need the RC or can I also use the stable version? Also how do I know if it's still syncing or not?

 

Edit: Yes at least for me it is only working with the RC version not with the final one!

Has any one else had a problem with getting movie set info to show up? Using Shednox on Helix. Also,the discs for the movies aren't being put into the cool trifold case

Wow, works much better than xbm3c add on. Also OP, music is working for me, at least partially, the main music menu is empty but albums, artists, and songs sub-menus work,at least with the Titan skin.

Using OpenELEC xbmc, also tested on Win7

I appear to be getting the following error whenever Kodi tries to sync my Emby library:

The Emby installation is a new one based on the beta software running on my XPenology (synology) nas. Problem is I can't figure out if this error is caused by the Emby DB or at the Kodi end. It looks more likely that its at the Kodi end of things, though. Any ideas? 

Please post support questions in the forum, but looks like a Kodi version problem. We only officially support 14.2, but 15beta2 might work with he latest releases.
