I think 7.X just skipped the problematic file. I rolled back to 7.x and double checked as I wasn't certain anymore, but the problematic files are there (since there are several without artist or even without genre). And I can clearly see the "--NO INFO--" placeholders. I can send the debug log for that one too if you want to compare both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the logs I sent in PM were from 8.X, for which you resolve the issue. However, I noticed another issue today, this time with TV Shows (but same behavior, the sync process hangs). I'm sending the new debug logs in PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obituary 5 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I have a decent number of shields (5). I'm working on making a "golden" kodi backup using adb by backing configuring kodi, skins, and this plugin. Right now, I'm setting up the plugin in native mode, logging in (manual mode), not syncing any libraries when given the opportunity. I then configure things like intro skipping and a few other options and shutdown kodi. My question is "is there anything else I should be doing" to ensure a clean sync after restoring with adb? My aim is to have one backup for all 5, but I want to make sure they don't conflict with each other. Is the unique client part the "addon_data/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/emby_guid" file? Could I just delete this after the final shutdown and it would regenerate on first boot after the adb restore? I could do a backup for each shield if that is the only way (that would give me a chance to name each client by where they are located), but figured I would ask. Thanks!

Yes at least you should also delete the "emby_guid". It's als possible regenerate a new Id via plugin menu, but if you delete the file a new will be generated on Kodi start. Don't use a custom "Device Name" (config menu) on your backup. Probably don't even sign in to Emby server on your backup. On my setup I use default options with following modifications: Paging to maximum 100 (faster init sync), enable skip intro option and enable live tv sync (for addon mode also path substitution).

MagicPinball 3 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 What is the major difference between 8.1.x (and maybe 7.x) and 1.0.7 (repository.emby.kodi-1.0.7.zip)? Both versions are being referenced by Kodi and Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWizard 30 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 8.1.1 was great to me. 8.1.2 not working for resume point. It doesn't save any resume point! Reverting back to 8.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuwz 0 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I found a BUG, When I change the path of a movie, for example from "/mnt/movie folder A/avatar (2009)" to"/mnt/movie folder B/avator (2009)", then Emby will rescan and detect the movie, at this time, look at the movie collection, web Emby everything is fine, but the movie in Kodi Emby's movie set will disappear (such as pictures) I found a solution, which is to use "refresh collection" in the setting of Emby Next Gen, but manually refreshing the collection before each time you use Kodi to browse the movie is too cumbersome, can you fix this bug so that the collection can be updated correctly and automatically?

Do you use Emby server beta version >19? I'm not active testing >19 versions, only if problems are reported.

I tried several approaches to fix it but currently no proper solution found. The problem, Emby server does not report Boxset/Collection changes (as it does for other content). The only way would be, checking Boxsets/collection after each movie change. This would massively delay updates -> completely useless. So no, currently no solution on the horizon.

Perhaps you can add a function that is not enabled by default, this function is: after each update of the database, add the "refresh collection" operation. This would at least solve this problem temporarily, because I don't care that kodi takes a long time updating the database. But the collection does not work properly, which seriously affects my viewing series when watching movies. Would you like to add this feature in future updates? You can choose not to turn on this feature by default, so that it will not affect most people. But for those who have this need, the problem can be solved.

Just for information: Using server 4.8.0.29: 8.1.1 did not saved the playback progress (most time) for me. 8.1.2 works as intended. Clients running Kodi 20.1 on Linux (Coreelec) + Windows.

Maybe the update from 8.1.1 to 8.1.2 require a reset of DB and addon settings? I'll try that... Anyway 8.1.1 works really well and i'm really happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWizard 30 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I installed 8.1.2 from zip file intead of updating from beta repo. It tooks lot of minutes instead of few seconds and now seems to work. Maybe somthing related to repo update.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano66 1 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Emby 8.1 does not read the "music video" folder and does not load it. It just reads the folder, spins the load but nothing happens. No such problem with version 7.13. Did something change in the settings? Do I need to adjust something to make it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWizard 30 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Can confirm that installing from zip file fix the problem. On both kodi for android and libreelec on raspberry after updating 8.1.1 to 8.1.2 through beta respository, resume points where not saved (old resume points where deleted). I than installed 8.1.2 through file zip (kodi.emby.tv) and seems fixed. Updating from repository took few seconds, updating from zip took several minutes, so the process seems very different. No need to reset settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pejamas 45 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Everything seems to be working smoothly with 4.8.21 and 8.1.2 minus one thing. If using the up-next add-on to play the next episode in a season, or choosing the next episode from a playlist the watched status updates in emby but if I then launch kodi on a second box it shows as unplayed. When the next episode starts the emby dashboard shows its being played in now playing yet doesn't say "Pejamas is playing X" in the activity field. @quickmicif you need a log file let me know.
