jonespete45 1 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Hi, I read in a couple of old threads that there was a problem with viewing extras if playback mode was set to addon mode instead of native/direct mode, which results in extras not being shown when you select 'extras' in the Kodi context menu. Where do I find the setting to change playback to native/addon mode? Is this setting in Kodi settings or in the configuration settings in the Emby for Kodi addon?

phunzie 36 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) do a Database Reset and you will get the option to choose Add-on or Native/Direct mode...to do the reset, go to the Add-on settings Edited April 5, 2022 by phunzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the local database reset take a long time to run? Edited April 5, 2022 by jonespete45 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1330 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) There is no need for the extras plugin and native mode. You can access extras via next-gen plugin in addon mode via context menu. Edited April 6, 2022 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are extras, it doesn't see them. That is why I asked the question about native mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution quickmic 1330 Posted April 6, 2022 Solution Share Posted April 6, 2022 I just performed a test: context menu -> emby options -> special features. Works fine, however there is a (minor) bug on movies without special features. I you use the "back" function in such a case, next-gen opens an empty list. This should be the case and I'll fix it. However, it's an inconvenience but actually not a "content bug". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise it was under Emby Options, I was just pressing 'Extras' in the context menu. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also try to move the emby specials directly in context menu and not in the emby options sub menu. It's a bit misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
