embyforkodi (next-gen) 7.X.X support

[LichenKing 16]

@quickmicYes I have tested it stock. Like I said before it was working before in Kodi 19.2 and a previous edition of 6.x.x. When support was fixed for cinemode this broke at some point.

https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Player/Discs#Blu-ray_playback_mode

There is three options in Kodi

• Blu-ray menu (this launches the Java JVM and loads the Blu-ray menu system, does not work on Android platform and NOT what I am trying to report.)
• Simplifed menu (this is a regular Kodi context menu to select a playlist title, this is what is broken, playback should be paused with the context menu, it crashes Kodi)
• Main movie (this opens the ISO container directly, no issue with Kodi or Emby, playback works)

Sorry, I misread the posing the first time, now it's clear, thanks.

I found a bug in 7.5.2.

In some (edge) cases, to many items are removed from database and goes out of sync. This happens only if content is removed by folder on Emby server and just for special cases.

Will be fixed in next version.

Backgound info. Emby server reports in case of moved or removed folder not the deleted item (ids), it reports the deleted folder (ids). Therefore the folder sync was added in one of the last versions. Now the plugin can search for all items which belongs to the folder.

Unfortunately, there is a "wildcard search" bug.

e.g.

/folder/Terminator/movie.mkv

/folder/Terminator 2/movie.mkv

/folder/Terminator 3/movie.mkv

If "/folder/Terminator" was removed the plugin searches for all "/folder/Terminator*" items and that's wrong.

It should search for "/folder/Terminator/*", otherwise "Terminator 2" and "Terminator 3" is removed too.

I just updated to Emby for Kodi Next-gen 7.5.2 to give it a whirl on LibreElec 10.0.2. Next Up using the the Embuary Skin is showing episodes for tv series episodes that have been marked as played in Emby. This is not an issue using using Emby for Kodi Next-gen 6.x versions.

Let me know what information I can provide to help troubleshoot this. Would the Kodi logs be useful in this instance?

Edited to add: I spent the last 30 minutes or so marking the played episodes that showed up in the Next Up list as watched in Emby for Kodi. Eventually I got to the point where the episodes in the list are for shows that are actually unwatched. If shows previously marked as watched start showing up in the list again, I'll report back.

There is a issue reported in the log. The only time I saw this was, when I connected to two (or more) Emby servers. Then removed the settings but not cleaned the database. I think this is not the case in your setup, but probably you removed a library from Emby server? The could cause the same issue.

As a workaround, you must manually delete the database files from Kodi.

I'll fix it in next version too.

Thanks for reporting, I think this is related to NextUp plugin or did you mean just the list?

I'll perform some tests, and try to fix it in next version (If i can reproduce the issue). The plugin makes some assumptions on the progress reports (from Kodi). Maybe there is something wrong in combination with Embuary.

Let me know, if you have instructions how to trigger the issue on a pattern.

Sorry for the confusion. This is just the list of NextUp episodes. I don't have the NextUp plugin installed.

Yes the issue is related to 4.8.0.4 and above.

The LibraryIds has changed in these Emby versions. (Luke already informed me). I'm testing if the new LibraryIDs have any side effects to the plugin.

For users: You need to perform a FULL database reset. If this is not working via plugin config menu, delete the following files manually:

/userdata/Database/emby_XXXX.*

/userdata/Database/MyMusic*

/userdata/Database/MyVideo*

The plugin will use the new Ids after the database reset. If there are any issues, I can switch to old Ids but I wanna keep the new ones if possibe.

I forgot to mention, I'll fix the issue that new Ids results in a plugin crash without a DB reset.

[quickmic 1352]

Also the nodes needs a reset (if you deleted the db files manually). Plugins config menu -> sync -> nodes reset

Well, please send me a kodi.log after you initiated playback of a subtitle file.

Generally, the external subtitles are loaded to Kodi, but not default enabled (also based on Kodi settings). Have you checked if you the subtitles are enabled (Kodi's playback taskbar)?

You can choose more threads for artwork caching in plugins config menu. 5 is default up to 25 possible, BUT. Everything above 5 may cause crashes on low power devices. On PCs should be save to increase the threads.

This log shows a bug when removing so called "stacked" (multiversion) movies. I'll fix it in next version (I'll release it today).

Sir , the Subtitles didnot even exist in emby for kodi. Suppose if i play from kodi server (upnp) , then the same named subtitles automatically showned in the player subtitile list. But in emby for next gen it didnot listed.
