I have Kodi 19.4.0 running on Windows 10 and I cannot get this version to work. My older emby next gen V6 stopped working so I updated to this after I uninstalled the older version and it crashes when I try to load my emby library.

 

It'll launch, find my emby server, allow me to choose a user, and when I select my libraries to sync it crashes.

[quickmic]

Please send me you kodi.log after crash for review. Seems to be specific to your libraries.

Edited March 17 by quickmic

It's not Kodi that's crashing, it's the addon. Or at least I believe it's the addon. After I select all libraries, it all minimizes to the main screen of Kodi and just sits there with no progress bar or any indication anything is happening.

Is there a log for the addon itself?

no, the kodi.log includes all data I need. Also don't use debug mode at the moment. Regular log is fine, but it must include the crash for review. So probably send me the kodi.old.log and the kodi.log too

[we87]

PM sent. I hope those log files have what you need, but I kept messing with it and not sure what exactly is there. I ended up updating Kodi to a nightly build of v19 and now everything is working the way it's supposed to.

[quickmic]

Thanks I just had a quick look.

Kodi cannot communicate with the plugins webservice on port 57342.

Most likely your Windows firewall is blocking the traffic. Allow Kodi to communicate with port 57342.

I'll check it. Did you enable the delete option in plugin config settings?

that's all it was, i hadn't re-enabled the delete option, but i just did....everything working fine now

Hi @quickmic, I don't know if it's possible or depends on the skin, in Emby I have sorted some sets via "sort title" and some via "release date", in Kodi it is sometimes like this, sometimes like that. My question is, when I sync my db, whether it is possible to use the order as in Emby?

 

[quickmic]

Sorting is generally a Kodi function and has nothing to do with the sync.

However, there are exceptions. If it's really a bug and the database is wrong or incompletely synced, there is something I could fix.

I need exact instruction how to design a test case. Which content how you browse etc. Screenshots are the best way to show the problem.

General info. If you find a issue, switch to stock skin and verify the problem again. At least, skin issues are ruled out by that.

[Centory]

Thanks, I think it's Kodi related.

My Windows firewall is completely turned off? I'm not sure what the next step would be?

Kodi shows a banner "processing emby updates 0%" and just hangs there.

For what it's worth, this same PC has windows media center on it and can run the emby plugin on it. And emby next gen ran fine before I updated Kodi to v19.4

The main error in the log is:

Failure when receiving data from the peer(56)

https://curl.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html

CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56)

Failure with receiving network data. 

 

This is what happens. Kodi cannot communicate with the plugin's webservice. The webservice is a localhost (127.0.0.1) socket. So the only thing I could imagine is something is blocking.

btw. the webservice itself seems ok. No crash in the logs and the error msg in Kodi would be different if the webservice is not online (cannot connect bla).

Maybe a port conflict, but I don't think so. In this case, the webservice wouldn't start and the log would indicate a already used port.

 

I still think it's a firewall issue. Please double and triple check.

What does that mean local host socket?

For what it's worth, I totally agree with your reasoning but I have triple checked. Windows firewall is off. Emby server is running on another Windows 10 machine on my lan, that machine also has it's firewall off.

Did that communications port change from v6 to v7? Or was it always the same?

The socket is sort of proxy webserver for Kodi used in addon mode (not in native mode). And yes, the port changed from 5.x and earlier 6.x versions due to xbox issues with the "old" port.

On Xbox the "firewall" was blocking the port.

Experiencing one issue. If I navigate to Synced Nodes (Emby), select my series node and scroll all the way down to "Nästa avsnitt" (Next episode in english), this contains no shows. This is the only node that's named in my native language if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks for reporting and yes. Sounds suspiciously like a special character issue.

Sorry, misunderstood the issue. Yes, translations still pending.

Now you got me confused

Just to clarify, the issue is that this node doesn't contain any shows. On the Emby server this is populated so it doesn't sync.

I think there are two issue. One no all nodes are translated, the other. Node is not working. I'll check both.

[DiscoDuck79]

Experiencing some sync issues.

After an episode is updated this is not synced to the client, but if I browse the dynamic node the new episode is available there.

I've looked in the logs, what I've found so far

From what I can tell my 7.x clients did not like the server restart I did yesterday   The remote 6.x synced everything after a Kodi restart command so the issue seems to be present on the 7.x only. 7.x clients are running on 1 OSMC and 1 CoreElec and it's the same issue regardless of OS.

Please test the Emby hard resets, thanks.

Hard reset: It doesn't work as it should, updates aren't received and I can't send messages to the client. In order to get a proper connection I need to restart kodi, then it syncs and I can send messages. It's still an improvement from before, the previous 7.x version seems to corrupt the db when the server was restarted.

fix next episode: Working

5 minutes delay: I wondered what the delay was when I checked the log, since it's intentional it's working. Does this mean that there will be a 5 minutes delay after an episode is imported in the future?

Question 1: I have an awful lot of music library references in my log, I don't use the music feature at all. Is this something that will potentially affect me (mislabeling of content in the future?), or is it just "highlighting" potential updates flagged as music content on the Emby server and it can be considered harmless?

Question 2: There's no combined In progress node available. The In progress section on the server contains both movies and tv shows, but as nodes I have to select both tv shows and movies. If you want them displayed on one row as a widget we need to use a smart playlist making this complicated. Could you add a node to sync the combined In progress from the server?

Log from container restart

Was it a restart or a stop/start?

What's the turnaround time of a restart?

Please try stop/start and wait at least 15 seconds after stop (that's the current timeout).

This currently an awful workaround addressing a specific issues 99.9% never appears. When it happens, it's mostly related to music content updates and live recordings. I try to get rid of it asap but right now I found no better way. It only delays the realtime content updates, not the progress updates.

Emby server reports (on realtime updates) all changes. The plugin skips the not applicable ones (not synced content). It will not affect the sync and I cannot  exclude them from realtime updates. Emby server would need some sort of subscription model to exclude content from realtime updates.

On startup sync I can define what should be synced, cause it's not a push from Emby server. It's pull request were the plugin can query the content by Library ID.

I'll check if possible, but there are also Kodi limitations. A list view in Kodi requires a content definition. 

e.g. impossible to include pictures and videos in node (not related to "in progress" node, just a general info)

Maybe possible for episodes and movies for "in progress". Also there is a difference between in progress TVShows and in progress episodes.
