otarie 2 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 hey there and thank you for all your work. I have the problem of still not getting hdr/dv flags in my library views, also dts-hd shows up as plain dts for a while now. If i i start playing a video, the kodi internal player shows everything correctly. Over at the kodinerds forum I've been reading that "strHdrType" needs to be filled but stays empty. I have no real understanding of any of this stuff but thought you might be able to help. I'm on emby server 4.7.11.0 and use your latest version with mavens latest nexus build. Let me know, if you need my logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otarie 2 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I have been reading those posts at the time. Most of my library are MKVs too. I just checked the two MP4s with DV i have and the logo shows, because of the codec tag "dvhe". Emby doesnt provide a codec tag for MKVs, so i guess its not working for MKVs at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recommendation is still valid, probably for a long time. Don't upgrade to version higher than .19. If you are already on a higher version, you can try the .32 too. The only thing I see wrong with the last couple versions of Next Gen and the latest beta server updates is that when u fire up kodi no matter what it will still scan in stuff u never watched. Dunno why but its like it does a library scan of stuff that is scanned in already for like a minute. Thats each and every time u restart kodi and next gen logs in. Other than that it works pretty darn good and I can usually scan in my library in about 25 mins thats 4500 movies and over 1500 tv shows Mook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It includes changed content, this could be e.g. artwork change, people (artists) change, subtitle change etc. Actually everything Emby server modified. Could be also a folder change or permission change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could post a feature request in Emby server section, from plugin side there is nothing I could to at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junias 9 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Hi there, since the update on version 8 my playlists arent functional anymore. I added them as "dynamic node" to the main menu of my skin. When I click "playlist" there all playlists of emby are shown, but when I select a playlist Kodi is loading a time and then it happens nothing... Is there any failure / bug? Thanks!

LittleWizard 28 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 To me, as already told, from versione 8.1.2 resume points are not always reliable. Yesterday I started a movie. Today no resume point. Last working was 8.1.1. I attach log file. The movie is "La pazza storia del mondo" Kodi.old.log is yesterday when I first watched the movie Kodi.log is this evening when it doesn't resume but told me that it was not in progress.

xylsss 1 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Hi. Is there a setting that allows you to remember the audio stream, provided that the movie is not watched to the end. Since when you continue watching, the first audio stream from the list is played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that the problem started with 8.1.2 If this will continue I'll try reverting to 8.1.1 to see if this os fixed or not. I'll try also resetting addon one more time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for clearing that up. Any chance the emby beta server is using a different version off ffprobe? Like i said, i also just get a dts flag instead of dts-hd for all of my files.
