Is it the emby server web page on my pc ? if yes, it's http://<@IP>:8096/web/index.html#!/startup/login.html?serverId=<serverId>, it shows me my 3 users, "manual connection" and "password forgotten" regards I think, but still not absolutely clear to me what's the problem. You use emby connect. In this case you have NO user selection. The emby connect user is assigned on Emby server to ONE user. If you select manual connect, you can choose every user you want.

weyb 24 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Hi, as I hadn't configure my profile with email notifications (shame on me - I did it now), I didn't know when there were replies here, so I just saw your last replies right now... so, now that you said that with emby connect i can't choose an other user, what should i do in order to be able to choose the user to connect to kodi please ? (how to uninstall emby connect if i need to ?) (remember, i'd like to be able to change my connected user in kodi, so i can see the cartoons instead og the movies...) regards Edited February 27, 2022 by weyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(how to uninstall emby connect if i need to ?) (remember, i'd like to be able to change my connected user in kodi, so i can see the cartoons instead og the movies...) regards What you try is changing the Emby user depending who is watching. That's imo the wrong approach for your use case. I assume what you need are Kodi user profiles. e.g. create two KODI users. One for kids, other one for parents (password support for profiles is also given by Kodi) Each Kodi profile can be configured independently (this includes next-gen plugin configs). In Kodi kids profile, assign/connect in next-gen plugin the corresponding Emby kids user. Same for parents users. Now you can select between both (Kodi profiles) and next-gen plugin is working completely independent. The way how to connect to Emby server (for each profile) can be whatever you want. As mentioned, emby-connect supports only one (Emby) user profile, you shouldn't go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 957 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) This video is captured with my test version and for LAN access, but should be exactly the same in 6.X: https://youtu.be/8sebKCfNwzs Edited February 28, 2022 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 24 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello ! Thank you very much for your video-tutorial ! I The only little problem (maybe not, we'll see that), is that I don't have "emby for kodi next-gen" but "emby for kodi", so the "sync" tab in my plug-in doesn't look like yours, & i can't choose the libraries like you, so I am near the wished result, but I think that this result is not completely perfect 🙂 I'll try to "video-record" my TV screen & describe every step here regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should upgrade to 6.x (currently in Emby Kodi's beta repo). If you do so, UNINSTALL 4.x before installing 6.x.

Actually it's already tagged as stable, but not in stable repo yet. Will be done in next 2 weeks. But you can also use 5.x in stable repo.

weyb 24 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 hmmm... I tried kodi 19 when it was released & i had MANY problems so I won't upgrade how to test it on a PC ? i have to install kodi on the PC 1st ? hmmm... i don't know when i'll have time to do that... install kodi means configure it after... but it's an idea !

weyb 24 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Hello, I installed kodi 18.9 on my PC, installed "Emby for Kodi next gen" 5.3.2 (not 7.0.0 like you - and if i click on "update" i have "there are currently no updates for this add-on") from repository, & I'm following now your video tutorial, but I have some questions : - what do you do between 1'07 and 1'17 please ? i don't see your mouse pointer so i guess you enable the add-on and... ??? - at 1'52 i still don't have "manage librairies" in "sync" menu 😞 Anyway, I went on, choosing "All" when asked for librairies to add (but not at the same time as you). I chose Bruno (admin emby user) for kodi Master user, and kids for kids. When connected as Master user, everything is ok in Kodi (it's like before all of this, when using Emby Connect) When connected as kids, all the cartoon series (example : Looney Tunes) & the movies are gathered in "Movies" in Kodi and there's nothing in "TV Shows" 😞 --> it's exactly the same on my TV Shield, AND when I click on "Movies", Kodi crashes 😞 (not on my PC) regards Edited March 5, 2022 by weyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 957 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 7.x is not public available yet, 6.x. in beta repo 1'07 and 1'17, yes enabled the plugin. in 5.x. "manage librairies" is in the "plugin run" menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 24 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 in emby-next-gen add-on, under "configure", I have Emby for kodi, sync, playback, interface, dynamic libraries & advanced menus, not "plugin run" 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 957 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Sorry, called "open" not the plugin "configure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weyb 24 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I checked : on Emby server, the cartoon series are under "Series", and the movies under "Movies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 957 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Please use 6.x then you can follow the video instructions 1:1 Otherwise, please get familiar with Kodi and the plugin options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
