mengoshmink 16 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys, I have an Amazon Fire Stick 4K on which I've installed Kodi 19.1 and the video Emby next-gen-6.0.2-build 110 (ex14) plugin. The connection wizard appears and I manually enter my Emby server and login details. The sync completes and playback works as expected. The problem: If I close Kodi then open it again (or disable and re-enable the plugin) the connection wizard re-appears and I have to enter the details again. The only information/error message I have managed to get on screen is if I configure the plugin, select "Add user to session", top right appears Emby for Kodi Your access to Emby is restricted. Steps taken to produce logfile: Open Kodi Login to plugin Add user to session Disable plugin Enable plugin Help, suggestions, questions appreciated Edit: Deleted Kodi profile, created new, added plugin build 158 (ex22) but problem remains. logfile-20210727.txt Edited July 27, 2021 by mengoshmink Updated plugin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1056 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Thanks, I'll check it. Â Does the issue also appear if you don't add a user to session? Â Also: "Your access to Emby is restricted" means the MAIN user does not have admin privileges. You can only add users to session if the MAIN user is a admin. I think that's an Emby server limitation. Edited July 28, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengoshmink 16 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 The "Emby for Kodi Your access to Emby is restricted" only appears if I select "add user to session". The forgetting details happens if I select "add user to session" or not. Â I'm sorry, what do you mean the MAIN user does not have admin privileges? Â Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1056 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Well, you connect to emby server with a user account. I call it MAIN user. If this user has no admin privileges (on emby server) and you now add a user to session you will get the error msg. I could suppress the msg, but I will not solve the problem.

mengoshmink 16 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Maybe I'm impatient or this is not an easy one to investigate. Thank you for your efforts so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1056 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) I already told you how to fix it. Enable admin privileges for the user on Emby server. Edited July 29, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1056 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Emby server -> user profile - > "Allow this user to manage the server" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengoshmink 16 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Oh! My bad. I logged into the server, enabled admin privileges for the user, clicked save. Open Kodi, enabled the plugin and entered the server connection details including the user (now elevated to admin) account details. All looks good, clicked "add user to session" and no error message. Disabled the plugin and re-enabled the plugin. Kodi / the plugin prompts for the connection details Sorry, am I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking, you enabled admin privileges for the main user not the "guest" (only)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mengoshmink 16 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Just tried with plugin.video.emby-next-gen-6.0.3-build 117 (ex18).zip but the problem remains. I removed and re-created my kodi profile but I didn't uninstall the older plugin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll perform some tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mengoshmink 16 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Yes. Are you going to test on a Amazon Fire Stick 4K? I think I tested in a Flatpak Linux install and the problem wasn't present. Let me know if I can help. I'm considering a downgrade to Kodi 18.9 to test the older Emby addon.

quickmic 1056 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 No, I don't have a fire TV stick. I found an issue with Kodi profiles. I'll fix it in next experimental version. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
