Thanks, yes this helps and it's quite easy to fix. Will do so in next version, btw

Also you should check "Satellite of love", this episode seems to be broken. -> no codec information available.

Seems to have codec in the nfo file and it play with no problem:

I am 7.xx series installed on Wins10/LE and Wins10, I have not experienced any issues. 

Let me know if you need a particular test case.

Thanks for your relentless efforts most appreciated 

Well it's still not as stable as 6.x

btw, There is still a minor bug with progress updates on not synced content. I'll fix it in a few minutes...

There is nothing particular to test for videos. Mostly I fix edge cases and music/musicvideos issues. And as always, performance improvements and stability.

There are old data in the database. Have you enforced a manual db reset?

If yes, please remove the databases manually.

Delete the following files:

Apology i am on 7,v  what seem to be the issue why I could not play the movie?

I this case, my previous statement was correct:

 

That's curl issue, Kodi uses to play http streams. -> Error 22/404

Please send me a debug log via PM for review. Don't post it here, confidential data are included in debug logs.

Currently I assume, the actual Emby server stream URL is correct, but points to an invalid link.

 

Please also confirm, this issue is only related to this specific movie, not a general issue with all movies.

@quickmicTested the new version, I still need to restart the client after a container restart but after that it syncs.

Just checking, is still still an issue with 7.0.0-build 716 ?

I'm away from home and won't return for another 2 weeks, once I'm back I'll update and check.

On a side note. Would it be possible to add the build number to the addon.xml? Makes it easier to check installed version and build.

[838Joel]

Yesterday, I add an error after playing two show and was stuck updating the db at 0%. I was then on build-700. (I don't recall the exact message)

Did update to latest build-716 and this reset the error stuck to 0%.

I will double check that today with build-716 if that appear again... If so will let you know!

Watch a show yesterday and did not had any error at the sync at the end. Will test build 7.0.1-build 32... Thanks for the nice work

So I have a Sonarr instance that regularly checks if an episode with a higher preferred quality has released and then grabs it and imports it. It seems though as the addon thinks that this is a new episode so for a 12 episode series it'll now show 13 in my Kodi application. The old episode gets deleted so there are one version which lacks a thumbnail while the one that just got imported has a thumbnail and is playable.

Yes, this was also reported in 6.x. Every test I performed, didn't show this pattern. I can already tell you, what you doing is not a simple episode replacement. I performed countless replacing tests.

I assume what you do is adding an episode and remove the old one later.

I specualte you have realtime monitoring enabled on Emby server. I think this will lead into duplicate episodes (also on Emby server), but after you removed the old episode it was also removed from Emby server but obviously not from Kodi.

I keep reviewing this issue, but surely it's not a simple episode replacement.

Ok I initiate the upgrade to 7.0.1-build32, reset the db and restarted Kodi.

Login to my server and select all to sync. it took few seconds before it start syncing (getting what need to sync I guess),  I quickly saw a popup of an error in red at the beginning (did not had time to see the msg) and the sync started right after! So far the sync is ongoing normally after....

Just want to give a heads up about this error popup, if someone can give more information about it!

please send me a kodi.log after your sync is complete (including all the sync data), not a clean log.

You're correct in your assumption that I have real-time monitoring on (not really real time if we're to be precise). I don't know, or more like I haven't observed, how Sonarr performs this operation. I'd assume it confirms that the new episode is downloaded, deletes the old one in the destination folder and replaces it with the newly downloaded one. Your theory seems to hold up in that the server understands that "Ah, this is a new version of the same episode. I'll update the entry" while Kodi's like "Looks like they added a new entry of the same episode".

For me, a non-programmer, it seems like Kodi just needs to understand that it's the same episode, just not the same file representing it. But I don't think I had this issue with Jellyfin for Kodi so it doesn't seem to be a problem on Kodi's side.
