Hi All, Has anyone else experienced an issue with the screen saver setting going back to "none" ? I found this thread suggesting it could be happening from a corrupt "guisettings.xml" file: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=328242 After the setting gets reverted, If I create a new "guisettings.xml" file with the required screensaver info, it seems to work for a random amount of time then gets set back to "none" again. Could this previous Emby for Kodi bug possibly have cropped up again?: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/40992-emby-disables-kodi-screensaver/ Thank you, Lindsay

Hi, I've been starting to have a lot of sync issues with the Emby client for Kodi. I'm running all Ras Pi 3 connected to the emby server and NAS. I wiped all the Pi's and started from scratch but still have no luck and keep getting the error Library sync thread has excited. Not sure if its a server issue or app issue. I can play fine from the server. i also installed kodi and the emby app on a windows system and it was able to sync ok Any help would be greatly appreciated EMBY_Kodi.log

Hi Angelblue05 I have Emby server 3.4.1.0 on a synology NAS, Kodi Krypton 17.6 on a Nvidia Shield TV. The emby Kodi add-on is 3.0.31. I just saw that most of my movies have disappeared from the Kodi movie list (29 are there instead of 384). Nothing is wrong with the TV shows though. Everything is good server side, both for movies and tv shows. When I try to reset the Kodi database, I have a "Emby error check log" The log says : 19:38:54.355 T:138963838032 NOTICE: EMBY.default -> plugin.video.emby started 19:38:54.364 T:138963838032 NOTICE: EMBY.default -> Parameter string: ?mode=reset params: {'mode': ['reset']} 19:38:56.277 T:138963838032 NOTICE: EMBY.default -> ERROR:: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/default.py", line 179, in <module> Main() File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/default.py", line 66, in __init__ elif not self._modes(mode, params): File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/default.py", line 142, in _modes action() File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/resources/lib/database.py", line 173, in db_reset Playlist().delete_playlists() File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/resources/lib/views.py", line 445, in delete_playlists self._delete_playlist(os.path.join(path, file)) File "/home/jenkins/workspace/Android-ARM64/tools/depends/xbmc-depends/aarch64-linux-android-android-21/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 71, in join UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128) 19:38:56.278 T:138963838032 ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<-- - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

First sorry for my poor english. My emby server is 3.4.1.0 over ubuntu bionic with a ssl cert self signet without password. The client emby web has worked well ever but Emby for kodi since 3.0.27a (and up, I am not sure if someone earlier too) don't connect. I try with krypton, Leia, newer 3.029a, ... but the issue persists.I wan't to update server to beta. I attach kodi log and the error in the server. The problem solved installing version 2.3.63 from https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/releases. There are some older version newer? Can you tell if it's possible to update to the lastet version when was solved. Thanks

Good day, since Emby addon version 3.0.27a files with German Umlaute (äöü) in their names can not be played any longer (Emby Error). This is on LibreELEC v8.2.5 with current Emby addon 3.0.29a.

Hi, I'm not sure if it's related to Emby server or Kodi plugin so please forgive me if I publish in a wrong forum! I have Emby server version 3.4.1 on QNAP NAS, and KODI 17 on iMac with latest version of Emby plugin. The plugin has the following settings: Playback mode: Add-on Force HTTP: Off Video quality: highest 1000MB The video I tried to play has bitrate 10514 kbps and an external srt subtitle. Question 1) It seems to me that transcoding is enabled when playing the video in Kodi - not sure why (the bitrate is much lower than the threshold). Noticed that when starting the video Kodi asked for selecting the external subtitle, is it the reason why Emby wants to transcode? I'd like to understand when Emby transcodes under add-on playback mode. Question 2) I then tried to disable transcoding by exclude h264 codec, it worked but now I got problem with the external subtitle. For some reason Kodi could see it and allow me to enable/disable it, however during playback it didn't show the subtitle. Any help is much appreciated!!

Hey guys, running into huge problems scanning my library into kodi. No matter if I do it on Raspberry Pi 3 or Vero4K it always sooner or later comes to the message "Library sync thread has excited! You should restart Kodi now. Please report this on the forum". I repeated it many times. First I thought it always gets stuck at same position, but it didn't. Sometimes it gets stuck in movies, sometimes in series. On my Emby Server all is perfectly scanned in. Here is the log-file. It keeps repeating and repeating: I edited the post and deleted the link after posting in hoping only the admins can read it... If this doesnt work like that (works in osmc forum), let me know and I can PM the link. I just dont want to share everyting with the world. Hope someone can help me with this.

I have attached kodi log......Hopefully someone can shed some light on this..........two PCs have this same error (I am assuming that the fix will apply to both since the are the same---hardware and software) Thanks.... Johnny kodi.zip

Hey @@Angelblue05 Is it a known bug that in the current plugin version, directly after the 'welcome' message at startup you're getting the message 'unauthorized' by the emby for Kodi plugin. Looks like everything works fine anyway, but the behavior is quite distracting :-)

Hi! After some ppl told me that Emby is meanwhile running flawless on krypton i´ve migrated from jarvis to latest libreelec build with krypton beta 5. Everything is running fine but i can´t see anymore ratings for movies neither series or episodes. Any idea? Kodi Addo is 3.1.12, Emby is latest beta 214. b0mb

Any ideas anyone, log is attached available at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_6qLrpWrZlFTV9wTndsOVd5eWc Cheers and TIA Brad PS Is there a way to reinstall the 7200 package?

If I shutdown emby from the web app, I can't start it from the synology package manager. I recently started experiencing this problem after updating from beta 3.1.105.0 to 3.1.106.0. However, if I shut down emby from the synology package manager, it will start back up from the package manager just fine Here are the server logs from the point the shutdown command was issued in the web app. This is what I am seeing in the start-stop-status log when I try and start emby: [2016-08-17 23:06:45 UTC] Script called with action [status]...

Sorry, ignore this topic (delete if appropriate), I saw @@Luke posts about this likely being a IPv6 issue on the beta stream. Hi @@solabc16, Strange one here... I was happily working on the beta stream 3.1.89, and had just finished rebuilding and populating my large collection after all our changes to fix the recent issues, and everything was working very well. I watched a show (through Kodi), but not long after it completed I received the notification that the connection to Emby Server had been lost. I checked the Synology Package Centre and it showed as running, but web browsing to Emby returned no page - no error, it just sat there trying to download content until it eventually timed out. It was midnight so I left it alone to pick up this morning. This morning, I restarted the package, but still no Emby web pages. I restarted the Synology, but still no Emby web pages - obviously I was managing the Synology through it's web page so basic web service and connectivity was definitely there from my LAN attached Windows 10 PC running Chrome I ran a diagnostic a couple of hours ago (from now), and it showed that ffprobe was missing - odd. Looking at the logs, Emby was running - it was auto sorting new media as it arrived, but kept recurring an error that I believe was related to the missing ffprobe - log attached. I backed up everything - because I really didn't want to have to do a full sync again (it takes the better part of a weekend to fully complete everything with my size library) - and uninstalled Emby. I rebooted the NAS and then reinstalled Emby beta (this time current was 3.1.91), but still no Emby web pages. Stopped, started, rebooted a few times with no joy. Disabled all NAS security features, and still no web page served on either the HTTP or HTTPS port. I uninstalled Beta again, rebooted the NAS, and then installed Emby stable. Pages worked immediately as I was presented with the setup screen, which I was able to navigate correctly, service subsequent pages. I uninstalled Stable again, rebooted the NAS, and then installed Emby beta (3.1.91), but no Emby web pages were served again. Again the server was running as logs showed as much. I have since updated the package to beta 3.1.92, which appeared, but still no web pages served. Of course I could go back and setup stable and work with that, but I would rather get to the bottom of what has broken beta versions for me. Thanks James for any help you could share.

Server hangs daily. It can be stopped and restarted. server-63605606400.txt

Last night after updating to Beta 3.1.97.0 (Mono) on my Synology NAS, I was asked to enter my password when I logged in. I found this odd as Emby was set to login on the local network using a PIN code. I went in to the user settings, and found that the option for using the PIN code to login was not checked. I clicked on it and the check mark appeared. I saved the settings and exited. Later that night I was asked for my password again when I logged in. Upon review of the user settings, I found that the PIN code option was once again unchecked. I could do nothing to get the setting to "stick". As the night progressed, I slowly started to notice that there were other areas where the user interface appearance was not quite how I remembered it. For example, on the user home page the small buttons for Collections, Movie, TV, Home Video, Live TV, etc. were scrambled. From inside the user settings I reordered them and clicked save. When I returned to the user home page they were still in a different order from what I had specified. Refreshing the page did not resolve things. Soon after I noticed that Movie CoverArt treatments that had previously been set as Side Case had reverted back to Metro Case. Coverart treatments for collections had also changed. From inside the CoverArt plugin, I set the image treatment for Movies back to Side Case. After exiting the plugin, the Side Case image treatments were applied to all my movie posters accordingly. I went back into the plugin to change the treatment for collections back to Open Side Case. When I exited the plugin, the image treatments for all my collections were updated correctly. But image treatments for Movies were all changed back to Metro Case again. And then I went to bed. I'll post a log when I get home tonight in the event that there is anything in it that might point to what is going on. I should point out that I am running Beta 3.1.97.0 on a Windows 10 PC as well. I am not seeing this behaviour on the PC.

Not sure whats the problem. Usually crashes randomly I am guessing the scheduled tasks are causing to crash. Its crashing less though since I disabled DLNA and Subtitle download / checks These are the two last server logs: See attachments for the logs. Nothing special has been set from a stock install... Also to add pausing and resume (while watching in chrome browser from what I have tested) producers a video error and starts the stream again.. Update: Forced all the schedules to run after each were done and it didn't crash... I guess that doesn't make it any better... serverlog.txt unhandled.txt

Had the previous Emby Server manual installation for Synology DSM 6.0 on a DS412+... Followed instructions on these forums for the install. I un-installed that Emby Server installation once the official package was available on the DSM Package Manager. I installed the official Emby Server Synology package and attempted to scan my Media Library. (I have followed all instructions, granted embysvr user read/write permissions to library. etc.) Now the Emby server eventually becomes unresponsive and looking at the logs show "Operating system: Unix 3.10.77.0 Processor count: 4 64-Bit OS: True 64-Bit Process: True Program data path: /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var Mono: 4.4.1 (Nightly 4.4.1.0/4747417 Tue 19 Jul 12:45:26 UTC 2016) Application Path: /volume1/@appstore/EmbyServer/releases/v3.0.6020/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe Too many open files System.IO.IOException" I have uploaded my logs: sendlogs_Datum_synology_cedarview_412+_20160801T232808UTC.tgz Please any help would be appreciated because my Media Library Scans cannot complete.

Hi Everyone, I've just recently installed Emby Server on my Diskstation DS1813+, and have been having issues where it hangs and becomes unresponsive not too long after starting up. When it is in this state, I try to access the Emby Dashboard, and get a black screen with a button up the top left that says "ButtonHome". The only way to fix it is to stop the app in Diskstation Manager, and start it again. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
