I am using the latest plugin version from the GitHub develop branch (version 2.2.36), and Kodi Krypton Beta 2. Did a new installation of the plugin with an empty Kodi db. None of the movies have the year populated, even though it is correctly populated in Emby server. TV Shows are not affected. My Emby server is running on Windows 10, and it is version 3.1.6113.25198.

I've been trying for two weeks to get this app to work. I have a mini slim desktop with a basic GPU in it and have tried Kodibuntu, LibreELEC and OpenELEC. I set it up. Everything through Kodi works perfectly except Emby. What happens is, I will go through the whole setup and everything will be glorious for a few episodes or movies. Then the next time I try to play something I get an error. The only way I have found to fix this is to completely remove Kodi, including all the app files, and completely re-install and re-setup the entire thing. Even if I just reset the database. I cannot get the startup wizard to prompt for my server and if I enter the IP and user manually I cannot get it to prompt for the password. It's like the app just up and dies after a few plays. It's not anything having to do with Internet or anything else because I can stream Exodus with no problem (as shown in log). Also, I can get to my server with my phone both by local IP address and outside the network using my router's DDNS. Just to point out, I'm using beta but have tried with the app from the stable repo and get the same results. Also the IP address in the log is NOT my server and is not the IP that is in the app settings so I have no idea where it is getting that from.... Attached is the latest log right after resetting the database. I'm hoping this is enough to diagnose the issue. I'll begin completely removing and reinstalling and wait for this to happen again and grab that log as well. Edit. This is actually on the Fire TV which also has the issue, my bad got them mixed up. kodi.log

Emby (server or the plugin) insists on transcoding all music files when trying to direct stream. In plugin Beta 2.2.30 on Jarvis 16.1 I have the following settings: * Playback Mode: Addon * Enable Music library: On * Direct stream music library: On * Play from HTTP instead of SMB: On Server is beta branch 3.1.156.0 The bitrate limits on both Kodi-plugin and the server are way up (100 Mbps). Most of my library are 160Kbps .mp3 files that I have ripped my self. Kodi plays them fine as such, but when using Emby with the above settings, they get transcoded to 128Kbps .mp3 files. How can I avoid transcoding the music if the bitrate is way below the limits and Kodi is able to direct stream it unmodified? BR, Andy777 Edit: Attached transcoding log. Server log doesn't show any messages about need to transcode. ipmasked_ffmpeg-transcode-4d215c0c-cc56-4c89-ae65-d03df0461b4d - Copy.txt

So these Leelboxes work great with Emby for Android TV but there's a problem: the controller/app doesn't really allow for basic DVR capability while playing back. The remote is pictured well here: https://www.amazon.com/Leelbox-android-installed-Amlogic-Android/dp/B013DONLX2 What I'd recommend during playback is: D-Pad Up/Down = change channel (disabled when playing back a recording) D-Pad Left = jump back 10 seconds D-Pad Right = jump forward 30 seconds OK = pause See the guide button to the lower left of the D-Pad? Make that button open up the on-screen display and the D-Pad behave as it does now. Better yet, and for maximum compatibility, allow users to press a key, and Emby record it, for defining the button to open the on-screen display switching the behavior of the D-Pad. This is useful for remotes that don't have that specific info button.

So have installed the latest beta emby and titan skin, and I get the thred has exited. But think I have found the problem, if I have a library with say "lucifier" season 1 in it saved as a box set and in my recorded tv library I have recorded an episode of the new season of lucifier I get thread has exited. If I remove one of the lucifier folders from either boxsets or recorded tv it will continue to scan until it hits the next box set that I am currently recording a new season of. Any help would be great Oh and using kodi 17 krypton

Now I know that episodes with undefined season/episode numbers are designed to show up under season -1 but I have found that if I have any specials with undefined season/episode tags that a copy of every episode of that show shows up in the season-1 folder with version 2.2.10

It would be very useful if series pooling was supported. Thank you.

I have been uses 2.2.21 with great success. Today I Upgraded to 2.2.25 to give it a beta test. The plugin immediately throws and error. (Attached as errorlog.txt) I noticed that the path /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby/data.txt was looking for a file in the "default" location However, due to a small size of storage on my fireTV I redirect userdata/addon_data to a different location. specifically /storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/ It appears that 2.2.25 is not following the substitution from the advancedsettings.xml, like version 2.2.21 did. (Attached as advsettings.txt) To verify this I copied the plugin.video.emby directory back to the default userdata area and the plugin works as expected Thanks for any help you can provide. errorlog.txt advsettings.txt

I am getting this error with manually adding a server. It works fine with EmbyConnect though. This is the newest one 2.2.25.

I seem to have this error once every few months and most times I can resolve it, but not this time. I have tried all I know including uninstalling and reinstalling Emby add-on. kodi.log

I use bit torrent sync to sync folders in my media browser library. The library monitor constantly records the changes of these files as they are modified by bit torrent sync (emby v 3.1.106.0). It would be nice if it would ignore those files. Also I noticed that if doing a library scan while .bts files are present they would get added into the library (emby v 3.0.6060). It would be nice if .bts files were also ignored while running a library scan. I know syncthing uses .sync as an extension, it would probably be good to have those ignored too if that's not already the case. Some logs here

After resolving problem from this thread - http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/35674-stuck-on-compressing-db-log-file-snippet/ I faced similar one. Each time when I start Kodi after Emby server got new movie(s) then sync process hangs with message about updating library with new movie(s) but actually they don't appear in Kodi library. Kodi or PC restart does not help. Only force re-sync helps.

Kodi now supports season names (since Kodi 16, I think). Emby also supports season names. If I use Emby to set the name of Babylon 5: Season 1 to "Signs and Portents", I would like that to sync to Kodi. Luckily, syncing doesn't overwrite whatever name I give it in Kodi, but I would prefer not to maintain it in two places. Thanks, and sorry if this has come up before. I couldn't find it by searching. Also sorry about the tags. Not quite sure what happened there, and I can't do anything about them now...

Hello, After one of the recent updates to the kodi plugin for windows, when I navigate to an Emby library that has its content type set to 'Home Videos', there is no content shown. I re-insalled kodi (16.1) and the emby add-on (using the latest beta repository) and results are still the same. My android tablet kodi plugin still works as normal, so I'm thinking that rules out a server issue. As a work around, I access the files via source>SMB file location.

Could we get an additional option to remux to a mkv file vs. the current MP4 file? I know when you first release this option it actually put the recordings in an mkv container instead of MP4 so I thought perhaps the code is easy to put in and perhaps just have it as an additional option. Thoughts?

During this beta cycle I have been adding more "Emby green" highlights to the Samsung client. However, I did such a lot of CSS tidying that I can now set the highlight colour thoughout the app easily. So easily I thought I just had to make it a user option so that you guys can customise the app a bit. Please shout out below your prefered highlight colour for selected menu items, text and borders. Here's an example in purple. Emby green will still be the default, so feel free to be garish, but make sure your colour works with white text.

Hi NEW: Default to HTTP playback out of the box, when selecting add-on playback mode. To use Samba (SMB), the option can be disabled via add-on settings > playback. We all agreed, this would be the most user-friendly approach to achieving Direct Play for new users.When I look at the Playback options I can see the option called "Play from HTTP instead of SMB" After updating the add-on to version 2.2.20 and selecting to keep all the existing add-on settings etc "Play from HTTP instead of SMB" is still turned off, so does that mean its still using SMB ? So on a clean installation when selecting to use the add-on default playback mode, you are saying that the "Play from HTTP instead of SMB" option would then be enabled ? Thanks

Hi, The only way I have found to restart the Server on OSX is to log in on the server and Quit it from the OSX/Mac top menu. It would be really handy if there could be a restart button next to the shutdown button on the Server tab of the Dashboard, right next to the Shutdown button. As an added bonus, once implemented, the Restart function could be linked from the post-Plugin-installation text reminding the operator to restart the server. Would make for even smoother operations. -Florux

Hi all, I am getting this error since 2 days ago. I try to play a video through the library and am getting this message. A few of days ago everything was working perfectly then suddenly yesterday i started getting this message. Some videos play some don't. The videos work properly when i play them through the files menu and emby plays the videos through the web browser. Some help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks. the versions i am using are : KODI Version: 16.1 EMBY for kodi Version: 2.2.20 kodi.log

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.
