Dynamite_Dan 1 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Hello. I've been a Kodi and Emby user for years but recently discovered EmbyCon (yes). I am using Kodi 19.4 with the latest version of EmbyCon (repository) on Windows 10 x64 PRO with +500 movies. I use the Aeon Neon Silvo skin. *When I go to the Info page of a movie I don't see the actors (even scrolling down) *If I use ScreenSaver when I come back it asks me to login to the Emby Server account (I deactivated the option but it does the same thing) *As a last step I installed Emby-Next-Gen and a DB was generated in Kodi that allowed me (now) to use random images in the main menu. Is this correct? I appreciate all the help you can give me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For next-gen support there's another subforum on the site. Edited May 18, 2022 by DiscoDuck79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite_Dan 1 Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) @DiscoDuck79 Thanks. I did not make any changes to its configuration after installing it. I'll keep that subforum in mind. @TeamB Thanks. I had not taken into account its settings and options. Now works OK! But on the other hand, these other options don't work (for me): Include People, (Don't) Group Movies And finally, one of my libraries now looks without titles. Kodi and Windows restarted.

TeamB 2349 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 a few things to check. You need to clear any cached files when you change the people setting. For testing this just turn off caching in the EmbyCon advanced settings. Advanced -> Cache emby server data response = OFF Also you can clear any cached data using the "Clear cached serve data" action in the addon main menu under "Add-on actions" menu. If you are still having people issues switch back to the default skin Estuary and make sure it (people) is working there, some skins do their own thing using extra addons that are not supported in EmbyCon. Grouping might be the same as above, clear the data cache. Not sure about the missing titles, again try clearing the cache, try the default skin etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite_Dan 1 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 @TeamB Thanks! I think I read your post late I was able to find the solution and I leave it here in case someone finds it useful: Once the configurations in EmbyCon have been made, the custom menus must be generated again (only "Choose Item For Menu").

Dynamite_Dan 1 Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 When I select Pause I see this. Can it be corrected? When I start Kodi for a few seconds this happens: it takes time to load the posters in the widget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes better when artwork is cached (Kodi does that automatically once a picture/image was shown). Also performance depends on used skin, skin helpers and the nodes/widgets. Nodes and widgets probably can be optimized. (e.g. limit the items to be shown.) Not sure if this tweak is applicable/makes sense for Embycon Edited May 23, 2022 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamite_Dan 1 Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 I was able to solve the "problem" with the widget by using the hide option & popup on focus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
