In WMC if it is a repeat it displays it in the description as you can see at the bottom it has the title Starsky & Hutch, subtitle and that this episode is a repeat if you contrast that to emby it doesn't display that it just has release year. In this example it is pretty obvious that this show is old and it is a repeat but in other situation it is not and having a repeat in the episode title is much more beneficial than the release year. Hopefully emby details can be adjusted so it is more similar to WMC which no offense but it is to me much more useful info then emby. Thank you for considering it. From the guide data the repeat flag is indicator by previously shown date. <programme channel="98" stop="20160830040000 +0000" start="20160830030000 +0000"> <title lang="en">Starsky & Hutch</title> <sub-title lang="en">Targets Without A Badge - Part 1</sub-title> <desc lang="en">When one of Huggy's mates offers irrefutable evidence of the activities of a corrupt judge, he doesn't survive to testify in court.(United States, English)</desc> <credits> <actor>Paul Michael Glaser</actor> <actor>David Soul</actor> </credits> <date>1975</date> <category lang="en">Action</category> <language lang="en">English</language> <country lang="en">United States</country> <episode-num system="xmltv_ns">3.17.</episode-num> <episode-num system="icetv">22653-144367</episode-num> <previously-shown start="20141009"/> <rating system=""> <value>PG</value> </rating> </programme> Also it shows the original air date when you come to record it Again the wmc has more useful info than Emby has.

HW: Raspberry Pi 2 B OS: OpenELEC 6.0.3 (Kernel: Linux 41.18 Kodi: 15.2 Emby Add On: 2.2.10 Emby Server: 3.0.5973.0 Logs (DD.MM_HHMMSS): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u2temtarmawdfpb/AAAj1C7pKFL_vJb-FeWR_u6Ua?dl=0 I'm getting "Library Sync Thread has exited" over and over again. You can see from the log times that I'll reboot, and it'll do it again shortly after. Eventually it seems to complete updates, but sometimes I'll spend an hour restarting again and again. Always seems to be the same error: OperationalError: database is locked

Can we get a Default Naming Scheme for recordings that are Daily Series that are unique? Something similar to what WMC does with all Recordings. Series Name_RecordDate_RecordStartTime This would only be for recordings marked as Series in Guide Data, that don't have Season and Episode number information. (Daily Talk Shows, Daily News Shows) This would give unique Identifiers for Daily Episodes and/or Multiple Episodes within a day. Just a thought.

Hi everyone, Since a week or 2 my Windows 10 machine with Kodi 16.2 and Emby Stable plugin has a strange issue when emby starts. I use emby with the direct path option, but when it starts to sync the following error appears. Emby for Kodi Kodi cannot find the file on smb://<myip>/Series/Anger Management/ Would you like to continue sync? This message comes everytime on only my windows 10 computer. When i choose to continue the sync, everything works 100%. The SMB / UNC paths are accessible from Windows and from the kodi file browser. Playback always works, i had never a file who didnt load. I tried to reset the local kodi database, fist sync goes good, and when i reboot, the same message appears. My rpi with libreelec works 100%, never had this message, my MacBook with kodi also works a 100%. Set the logfile from Emby to Debug, rebooted, looked in the log, did not find a error or a warning, all good ( from what i could see ) The following is setted up from Emby Server: The substitutin is not filled in because the data is on a NAS device, Emby server runs on a Win 8.1 machine. The Win 8.1 machine can also access all smb / unc paths to the data. No errors here. Could someone help me with this issue, Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Is it possible to create another panel in Dashboard, where we could monitor transcodings in progress? Would be very helpful to understand whether is your Emby transcoding, for which media, for which reason (if possible), and for which user. Maybe some CPU % data, threads in use, etc...etc...

Remove, or make better, PINK "more" buttons? They don't match my curtains......

https://github.com/delphiactual/machineID/blob/master/machineID.py New Repo: https://github.com/d...ript.machine.id

I know that Krypton is not officially supported, but I would like to track this down and fix it myself if possible. Where would I begin the search in the repo to find out the issue.

I can't mark a complete series as watched/unwatched from the TV view. I have to go into each series and mark each season separately. In most other clients, I can do it from the TV view.

Any chance to make/compile kodi plugin with option Ignore external subtitles? Thank you

I've run into the following error: Library sync thread has exited! You should restart Kodi now. Please report this to the forum. I think it has to do with my music library. I get this error every time I start Kodi. I get this error on my Laptop and on my android (Wetek Core) machine. My laptop runs Windows 10, with Kodi 16.1 My Wetek Core runs on android (I think lollipop) and also has Kodi 16.1. I attached the log and hope you can figure it out. If I can help in any way. Please let me now. kodi.log

Hi @@Angelblue05 i still suffer from the problem described here: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/32424-Device-sleep,-crashing-on-wake (btw. why is this thread locked?) Is it somehow possible to restart the "Library Sync Thread" without restarting Kodi? Maybe with some kind of custom Python script?

So I've tried HEVC on E-Series and I get a render error. If I try through DLNA it fails with a video codec error. Therefore, I expect we need to disable HEVC for E-series to force transcoding.

I have an annoying issue where when i watch a tv show or movie from my media collection, it never shows as finished the first time watched, it shows as 75% or so. Even when using "update library" after watching an episode when i click on next episode it repeats the episode i just watched. If i then fast forward, or chapter advance to the end it properly gets categorized as watched and presents the next episode. I have a windows emby server running on a NUC. My media is on a separate NAS running freeness. I use emby for kodi and watch from within Kodi. Hate having to fast forward every episode a second time to have it present the next episode. Any ideas?

This has been happening pretty regularly on two clients (FTV and Windows 10).

I don't know if it was removed by accident or purpose. But please add it back into Collections View which can be activated as own "library" in User Settings. When going into collections inside a library, the list view is still there. Specially on small screen devices, the list view is very nice.

Hey folks, Not sure if this is something anyone else wants or needs or if its an issue specific to me, however it would appear that once the screensaver for 'Emby for Samsung' kicks in to display photos from our photo library, its almost as though it selects a few dozen photos at random and then only displays those photos over and over again. I've been watching the screensaver with the family this morning and we've seen the same set of photos now for the third time!? Is it possible to increase how many photos the screensaver picks up and runs with or increase the randomness at all !? !? Not how else to put it sorry. Another thing I'd like to ask for as well - and I'm not sure if this is doable or not - but is it possible to add navigation to the screensaver? That is, is it possible to move forward a photo or backwards a photo. Sometimes it happens that a family member calls another family member to look at a photo but then once they get there the photo is gone! Anyhow, would be neat if that can be done! Thanks folks, Dodgy Bob

I have this in my keymap.xml and that worked fine until 2.2.10 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <keymap> <global> <keyboard> <d>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.emby?mode=delete)</d><!-- Delete emby item context menu shortcut will activate when pressing "d" --> </keyboard> </global> </keymap> Then I see this text in Emby for Kodi beta topic Version 2.2.10 This is the last beta, I'll be releasing to stable in a few hours. This build is mostly for small fixes. New: Keymap shotcut to delete emby content using: RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.emby?mode=delete). The skip confirmation deletion does apply, please be careful with enabling the setting. It may take a few seconds to see the content disappear (this is a shortcut for the Emby context menu options > Delete). I changed my line from <d>RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.emby?mode=delete)</d><!-- Delete emby item context menu shortcut will activate when pressing "d" --> to RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.emby?mode=delete) but then nothing happens. With the old line I will get an error. Kodi log What must I do to have the delete option working again. Thanks

Issue description: When on the episode view of an episode, in a season where the first couple of episodes are missing, when I press right to open "More episodes", no episode seems to be selected. Looking at the numbers in the bottom left, it looks like it selects something further down the list, even though there isn't anything down there. It doesn't go upwards when I press up, but the whole menu moves upwards when I press down. If I keep pressing up, eventually it gets to the selectable episodes. https://youtu.be/fotZG8tkiGs Steps to reproduce: See above and video. My TV/HTS/BD Player model number: UE48H6470 My firmware version: 2820 Other TVs etc. the issue has been reproduced on: UE46H6400 My Emby server version: 3.1.45.0 My current Emby Samsung client version: 2.1.3 (1080p)

I have the latest alpha (2.2.12) loaded because I've been having the library sync issues with the beta server, currently at 3.1.40. If I launch a video on either of our Shield TVs I am unable to skip forward or backwards. The progress bar at the bottom looks like a streaming bar instead of the normal progress bar. If I do the same thing on one of our windows boxes everything works fine, same versions. The only difference is I'm playing using HTTP on Shield and SMB on windows. I have never been able to get SMB to work because I run a windows domain. If I downgrade to 2.2.11 skipping forwards and backwards works fine but I start getting the library sync exited message again. Any idea? thanks!

Emby Server 3.0.5972.0 FireTV Kodi 16.1 Emby for Kodi 2.2.11 Getting the "sync thread exited" popup after Emby for Kodi loads. Kodi Log Uploader won't work either in case that could be related. You can see it at the end of the log. kodi.log

Please can you look to add refresh rate switching for devices that support it like the Nvida Shield TV

hey has the Kodi sync queue plugin to be updated for the new Emby for Kodi beta or do I have another problem? Since updating to the new Emby for Kodi beta I'm getting the library sync thread has exited error. Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk
