I have installed Kodi + Emby on a Sony Bravia TV (Android TV OS) The problem is, the Incremental Sync only runs when the app is first started. When an AndroidTV device is turned off, the system stays "awake" for 5 minutes - after this time, the network is turned off and the device goes to full sleep. Kodi is still running, but unable to receive new content broadcasts from the Emby server. So then when the TV is turned back on, the library remains out of date unless you fully restart the Kodi app or go to the Emby addon and select Manually Sync (but this is slower than restarting, and not 'incremental'). I don't know if the Emby addon can detect when the device leaves sleep mode or when the Network connection becomes active again - so the only solution I can think of, is to be able to manually trigger an incremental sync via hotkey. So I just need to know if there is a command in the Emby addon to trigger the incremental sync. I've done similar things with other addons, such as "<a mod="shift,ctrl">RunScript(script.audio.profiles,0)</a>", so it should be possible. Does a command already exist, or can one be added? It's the only inconvenient thing about this setup. Thanks.

So, I've played with incremental sync in the past and my experience has always been that it is much slower than a full sync. I finally decided to take pictures of it tonight and post logs here in hopes that I just have something off. These are the pics of the items syncing: These are the logs: http://pastebin.com/kjme6Pdc With all the praise this receives, I have to believe something is wrong with my setup. I'm running server version 3.0.5768.4 and Kodi Plugin Version is 1.1.52, incremental sync queue version is 1.0.5734.31705. I think I have about 450 tv episodes and 289 movies. What am I doing wrong? If I restart kodi, incremental sync is fairly quick; the next day when I fire up Kodi again, I get this 5 minute incremental sync.
