Just when I thought I was getting somewhere with my Kodi/Emby set up. Just noticed several tv show show up on my son's Kodi profile, even though the folder these shows are in is unchecked in the Library access for that user and also don't appear if I browse his library directly in Emby. Seems to be quite a few shows, but not all. I've checked and Emby For Kodi user is correct in the settings. There are two Emby users linked to two separate Kodi profiles. Anything obvious likely to cause this before I throw up log files? I'm a little concerned about what else may appear in his profile that he shouldn't have access to.

I think i was going to try this feature when it first rolled out in emby. Sounds cool as heck to take a picture and have it show up on the server! But realized it would upload all photos in my gallery to the server. I've got nothing to hide, but having labels that i need to take pictures of in order to blow them up to read and other trivial crap aren't worthy of server space, but phone worthy. So i backed off doing it then. Tonight i figured i would try this out again (years later?) only to remember why i didnt do it in the first place... There is just stuff on my phone that i dont need in the server. But i figured maybe if i went into my photo gallery on my phone that i might be able to select photos to upload. Selecting one of the pictures and choosing share i realized there are many places that i can actually choose, but not emby. It would be great to share a selected picture (instead of the whole phone library). Make the share option in the photo gallery link to whatever it is in the emby android app that knows how to share the whole library? If i turned on camera upload i would then have to go in and manually delete pictures when i was back at the server. And having not played with this feature at all, would it then keep uploading pictures that i want on my phone but deleted from the server when syncing? Anyway, thanks for all you folks do, and this is far from any type of priority on my side! (I searched the topic before posting, so if someone else already has it suggested i apologize in advance)

Kodi Version: Leia RC5 Emby Version: 3.5.0.2 (Running on 32-bit QNAP NAS. Highest Version currently available in QNAP CLUB) Emby for Kodi Version: 4.0.1 Upgraded Kodi to Leia RC5 inorder to address a video rendering issue with my Ubuntu machine. Following the upgrade Emby for Kodi failed, so I upgraded to the beta branch; I believe it was 3.1.44a. Performed a database reset as requested by the addon. Added my libraries and began syncing. Sync worked fine until it encountered a series with a very large number of episodes (over 1500). Sync appears to get stuck on this series and then eventually times out. Error message displayed: Something went wrong during the sync. You'll be able to restore progress when Restarting Kodi. If the problem persists please report on the Emby for Kodi forums, with your Kodi log. Resuming the sync results in the same hang and the same error. Uploaded log is following a DB reset to ensure the cleanest records. https://paste.kodi.tv/hugohuhuku

Hi, I recently upgraded to EmbyServer 4.02 (on QNAP x64 NAS) and my client (an nVidia Shield) to Kodi Leia RC5. I updated the Emby add-on to the beta channel 3.1.44a I did a full reset of the Kodi database After doing that, none of my BDMV rips (loose files in the Blu-ray folder structure) would play. I noticed that the path to the item was different in 3.1.xx vs 3.0.34 In 3.1.xx - DOES NOT PLAY \\QNAP\Movies\First Man In 3.0.34 - WORKS FINE \\QNAP\Movies\First Man\BDMV\index.bdmv NOTE: I can play MKV files just fine, so I know it is not a server access issue. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I troubleshoot? Thanks, -Steve

I'll be honest and say I struggle figuring some of this stuff out. So this may be something simple and stupid I am missing. But what I am finding is my library appears almost perfectly in Emby but doesn't show up correctly in Kodi. For example, I have a six season TV series that shows up perfectly when I view it from the Emby web interface. All the seasons and episodes are there and show in the correct order. But when I open the same series in Kodi, I only see two seasons and even they do not show all the correct episodes. When I look at the files stored on disk, I am seeing all the episodes and they all seem to have all the correct nfo files with the correct information about the series and episode information in them. Any ideas on how to solve this? I don't even know where to start. I've tried re-scanning the library in Kodi but that does not help.

Hi, I have an issue with movie sets not being syncronized from the Emby server to Kodi. I am using Emby server 3.5.3.0 with Kodi companion 2.0.3.0 and Auto Box Sets 1.1.3.0. On Kodi side I have 3 clients: 2x Kodi 17.6 with Emby for Kodi 3.0.34 and Kodi 18.0-RC2 with Emby for Kodi 3.1.35a. On each of the clients I am missing the majority of my movie sets, means that some sets are there but most of the ones that are shown directly on the Emby server are not. I had the feeling, that sets appear after I clicked on them on the server (via browser) but that is also not always the case. On the two clients with Emby for Kodi 3.0.34 another strange thing happens: When I hit the button "Update Sets" in the plugin, all the movie sets that were there before are gone. I really need the movie sets to be working, since I have about 450 of them... What can I do? Sven

Hi everyone, since 3.1.31a emby for kodi can`t connect the server under kodi 17.6. "Emby error"is the error message. best regards kodi.log

Hi Emby server: Latest beta version running on windows server 2016 (with most recent updates). Kodi Leia latest nightly beta running on 2 Nvidia shield TV with your most recent plugin update. First of all, thanks for your hard work. I have been using this combination for years. Everything seem to be running ok since you publish this new version, except for this small problem: - After initial sync if I had a new tv show, client sync the show ok with all seasons, episodes and art, except for series info and season info. Episodes info are ok. On server all info is ok but do not show off on clients. At the moment I cannot send log, but I will later on. Anyone else sees this problem? Thank you very much

Hey my friend, @@Angelblue05 have since the last version and the current a strange behavior in Kodi. @@sualfred already told me that it is not the skin and I should contact you. Everything is up to date, the server does it right but Kodi behaves weird. And when I start a movie, a local trailer starts before me (correctly named and read - metadata have already been deleted and completely replaced). But after the passage of the trailer does not start the main movie but it is finished and the main movie is marked as seen. But if I do not start the movie in Kodi directly via the widget or from my library, but go the detour "i" and in the information screen on "Watch Now", the trailer starts and then the movie (which is correct). If I finish this immediately, then he is also "not seen". adjusted everything correctly in the plugin Send me the log, where I have both variants in it. Do you perhaps see the mistake? Thanks and best regards Seger

Hi, I use the emby for kodi addon and having an issue with the music section: The Recently Played Albums and Most Played Albums sections never seem to update and have been stuck at whatever they were when i first switched the emby music sync on. I have deleted the music database and done a clean library sync but it still doesn't update.

Hi again, Another bug i think? My entire TV show library was removed after an update - looking through the logs it seems to be related to a time-out to the server which occurred during the sync? https://pastebin.com/FTft8uYa I actually saved a previous log where i lost my library - i mentioned this in another post where i was trying to figure out why certain shows were not showing up... here is the log for that one (looks like pretty much the same error...) https://pastebin.com/dqGh9sUs I'm starting to think that my original problems with certain shows not syncing is related to this error... Please advise...

For some reason, Kodi for Emby is not picking up all of my music albums. My movie library is fully synced properly, but I am missing quite a few albums. There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason to when an album doesn't get picked up. I have albums by the same artist in the same folder that do get picked up. I have tried the "repair local database" option and resynced my music. Hasn't worked. I also tried refreshing all metadata in my Emby server and then did another repair local database but that didn't work. I am using the latest version of Kodi for Emby (3.0.19). Any help is appreciated! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Hello Emby server on synology 3.3.1.0-1 Kodi krypton 17.6 on nvidia shield Emby for Kodi add-on 3.0.17 I have an error « library sync thread has exited » The ios app works without error Please find below the details of the error that it requested I post here I restarted Kodi and the server as requested but no change Thanks a lot for the help [emoji1317]

When trying the play a file that needs to be transcoded, the playback fails with a KeyError of 'DeliveryUrl' The Emby server is in the LAN but not on the same subnet, and it is using the internal DNS for resolving. I have attached the client log file. The server logs does not seem to contain anything out of the ordinary regarding the play request. Client is Kodi 17.6 running on the latest macOS and the server is running on Windows Server 2016. It seems to be a client issue, as the webbrowser (Firefox) does seem to want to play. kodi.log

So whenever the app is loaded and connected to the server if you Switch out of the app (leave it in the background) and then the network connection mode changes before you re-launch the app four instance: Originally connected on Wi-Fi then move out of range of Wi-Fi while app is in background to be connected via cell tower before re-opening app Or moved locations and connected to different Wi-Fi network Upon re-opening the app it is super slow and most of the time doesn’t even load any server details, sometimes it’s a complete black screen and other times the top is visible. The only way to get the server to respond is to force close out of the app and reopen. Running almost latest beta server and iOS app (1.5.0(5)) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I'm transitioning from Volumio and Plex to Emby to centralize my usage to one app, the one thing I'm missing the most is gapless playback. This is particulary annoying when listening to albums like "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd. I'm experiencing a buffer of about 1 second in between songs, which really ruins the immersion. Would be awesome if this would be implemented in both the Chromecast, and web player.

So, I know you can disable subs entirely, but I just want to prevent Emby from ever using subtitle files that AppleTV doesn’t natively support/only allow srt files. Is that something that’s possible? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Many hours I tried syncing emby to kodi. Tried it on different devices, reinstalled Kodi, reinstalled emby for kodi add-on, re-added the libraries in emby, but for some reason emby doesn’t want to finish a full sync. It keeps braking on the music libraries. It will inform that there is an access problem to a random music file. I started to re-add the troubled files, but than it would find another one or just freeze up. With 20.000 songs, this is not feasible to do, so I checked the particular files as well, and they are easily accessible without any errors and kodi can also scan them without problems and play them when importing directly into kodi through Mysql. Just to make sure, I even had all the files credentials re-added but no luck. As kodi can do a full media scan of the 20k music files, why not emby? Can something be added to the sync job that will allow for a full sync even when certain files can't be processed. Maybe afterwards a report can be generated with details of the files that are not successfully synced? Because I was not able to get emby sync to work for music I had no chose than to disable emby music in kodi and load the music directly into kodi through the mysql setup.

On Apple TV4k, if I (client side) enable the Auto sign in as this user option in Emby, when I quit Emby, I can not login at all. The only way I’ve been able to fix it is to do a full app erase and reinstall it. Then, just leave the option off. Is this a bug or am I missing something? To clarify, only one user established at the server level and it is the main user I use for everything. Also, it has no password (blank). I can manually sign in with no issues.

Hi, i'm unable to browse a video library in Emby for Kodi. According to the attached log extract, it seems that it is due to an invalid caracter : the accentued "é" in "vidéos". I can change it to a non accentuated "e" but there is a lot of nested subfolders concerned with that. In French language, accents are usuals. Regards kodi.log

As I mention in a related post, I love the additional subfolders for Movie Extras (eg, Shorts, Scenes, Interviews, etc.)! It would be awesome to extend this functionality to TV Series as well. Specifically to add support for many/all of the same folders supported for Movie Extras, eg, extras specials shorts scenes featurettes behind the scenes deleted scenes interviews trailers As well as any additional folders that get added in the future (eg, hopefully Galleries). Support Placement of "Extras" Folders Within Each Season Folder, Plus A Naming Scheme to Link A Particular Extras Folder with a Specific Episode (eg, "\Season 1\E1 - Deleted Scenes\" for episode 1 deleted scenes): I want to clarify that it would be great if these various "extras" folder types could reside within each Season folder. So for example, within a Season 1 folder we could then have an "Extras" folder, a "Deleted Scenes" folder, a "Featurettes" folder, etc. And furthermore, that we could designate a particular folder to refer to a specific episode (eg, "\Season 1\E1 - Deleted Scenes\" for episode 1 deleted scenes). See more below, particularly why I think this would be so useful: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/55915-emby-server-theater-additional-extrasspecial-folder-types-for-tv-series-similar-to-movies/&do=findComment&comment=587195 Thanks for your consideration!
