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

Maybe this exception can be caught and properly reported back to the user, so others won't have to dig in the logs to find the disk is full? Best regards and thanks for creating this great software

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

Allow for the use of the use of the tvg-chno tag in the M3u file rather than just channel-id for channel numbering. The iptv-epg.com service which provides EPG guide service as well as M3U editing uses tvg-chno and not channel-id for their channel ordering/numbering. Granted, it's not that big of deal to point Emby at a modified copy of the M3u file with tvg-chno renamed to channel-id via search/replace but this would even eliminate that requirement. Maybe make the tag used for channel number selectable.

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

Would be nice to show file size in the movie details screen near path to the file See screenshot as an example (highlighted with yellow)

I can't seem to find anything relating to throttling transcoding / remux? Problem: 4K Transcoding / Remux - It uses a lot of space thus drives are filling up based on transcoding settings at the moment as Emby is transcoding the whole file, thus with a 4K remux / transcode this could be 60GB and multiple this if you have multiple users. Remuxing seems to cause problems event when its out remuxing audio / container as it will fill up the disk. Fix: Ability to throttle transcoding to be 5-10 minutes ahead of current time

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.

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

Is there a way that you can implement a polling system for us to test connection speeds between certain users and our server? For example: user 1 says they have stuttering playback, I force the playback stream settings lower via the server for user 1 but the still get stutters. The only way I can resolve this is to manually change their settings on their device, which obviously I can’t do remotely. User 1 hasn’t a clue about internet speeds or what they have (it’s a 15mb connection) This way if I could poll there connection from the server then I could tell what quality I can send them without errors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

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...

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

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.

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

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]

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.

Pretty straight forward

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

I have my users's Kodi profiles set to timeout (using a screensaver addon) after a few minutes of idle time. But there are times where the sync that happens right after logon takes longer than that timeout and because the user is sitting there waiting for the sync to finish. Ideally the sync shouldn't take that long but regardless it's a race. Is there any way to make the sync activity look like non-idleness as far as the Kodi idle timer is concerned so that users are not considered idle while waiting for the sync and logged out before it can complete? Obviously it would be better to get sync times to be under even a few minute idle time but until we are there, this seems like it would be a good fix in any case.

Anyone know if this is legit? It showed up in my Google Home app today as available to link. https://emby-google-home.herokuapp.com
