Remote trailers are the fallback. NFO's are only used by Emby server or you run the plugin in native mode. In this case it's up to Kodi how to handle nfos. You are correct that I am running in native mode. But should it not be possible to suppress the remote trailers/youtube links and only look for local trailers? Maybe add as an option? Alternative could be to have to option of not generating those youtube trailer links in the NFO files. As initially reported it worked fine for ages before the release of 7.13.7 & 8.1.3, so at least it seems like something has changed.

Yes, seems google changed the API and currently Kodi's youtube plugin has issues. Not related to the next-gen plugin. Quote But should it not be possible to suppress the remote trailers/youtube links and only look for local trailers? Well would be possible, but I see no reason at the moment. The plugin syncs the trailer links reported by Emby server. If local trailers are available, they are in use (priority one) and as a fallback remote (e.g. youtube) trailers. As I understood, you have local trailers for mostly all of your content? In this case local traielrs are synced to Kodi's database instead of remote trailers. Quote Alternative could be to have to option of not generating those youtube trailer links in the NFO files. As mentioned, the plugin doesn't read or write nfo files. The trailer information are send from Emby server via API. What's reported as trailer is fully up to Emby server and based on your Emby server configuration. As you use native mode, Kodi could also "overrule" settings as it has full access to your filesystem including nfo files. Kodi could even scan your media files (overwrite sync via plugin). I'll run a few more tests maybe there is a bug but actually I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run a quick test, and working fine on my setup. I see in your logs are some weird IP addresses. Seems they wrongly reported from Emby server. I suggest, connect to server by manual IP address and check if this works. In the end, you have 2 problems. remote IP's wrong and access denied. Check Emby server network settings and second. If the user you are try to access with have permissions -> Emby server user settings. Edited June 2, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - most my content has local trailers. However, as I stated if the movie is synced to Kodi before a local trailer is in place, it will not update with this information and as a result it will never play the local trailer and currently I will get an error because of the issues with YouTube content. A solution to that problem could be option in the settings for enable / disable remote trailers. Then I could enable that for my setup - but others could do the same while/when there's issues with the YouTube plugin. Just an idea. But of course if the plugin would always check for local trailer before resulting to remote trailers, this would be even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBers 6771 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 @quickmicI've just installed Kodi on my Shield, and have installed the Next Gen addon as well, but I'm having issues. The sync appears to complete OK, but when I go to play anything, Kodi says the file no longer exists. I'm using the Native option. I used to test Kodi on my Shield a few years ago when @Angelblue05was developing the plugin and never had any issues. I know Next Gen is based on her work, but what am I doing wrong? In the Kodi logs, it finds the item via the UNC path I set in my libraries, but then it tries to open the file via the IP address. I haven't set the IP address anywhere, so is the add on getting this from my Emby server? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, don't use native mode if you don't have a real good reason for. This is an absolute edge case and (almost) all limitations of addon mode no longer exist. If you insist on native mode, your paths are wrong. Edited June 1, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I'll try the alternate option, but I thought native mode was the best way. How do you mean my paths are wrong please? The names and case are exactly as they appear in the UNC path of my libraries in Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use addon mode and you will have zero issues. fyi, native mode. 2 possibilities, Kodi cannot access the path (no permission) or path is wrong (e.g. not mounted in Kodi). Depends on many factors/settings. However, try addon mode and I promise you will have no issues. Addon-mode limitations only affects iso file playback. Actually even iso are working in addon mode, but uses native mode as fallback. Edited June 1, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pejamas 45 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 @CBersThere was a change in Android 11 with file permissions, double check this: On Android TV go to Settings -> Apps - Kodi -> Permissions -> Files and Media and select Allow all the time. Then reopen Kodi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hetkoznap 2 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hi! I recently upgraded my Emby server from 4.8.0.21 to 4.8.0.37 and I also upgraded the Next Gen plugin from 7.X.X (not sure which version it was) to 8.2.3. I have a VBox TV Gateway to watch TV over the network. Previously I used the "VBox Home TV Gateway PVR Client" addon to watch TV in Kodi because a bug prevented TV channels from loading through the Emby server ("No compatible streams are currently available"). The upgrade fixed the bug and I tried the IPTV Simple Client to watch TV, but when I stop watching a channel the tuner remains locked as if I'm still watching that channel. So if I start watching a channel and switch to another, then I can't switch to a third because both my tuners will be busy/locked. Why do the tuners stay locked after I stop watching a channel? If I watch TV with Emby's own android app everything works fine, no channel lock error so I think there's probably something wrong with either the Next Gen plugin or the IPTV addon. My setup: Server: 4.8.0.37 (Synology ARMv8 (x18 Series)) Player: Kodi 20.1 (Nvidia Shield with Android 11) Plugin: Next Gen 8.2.3 Addon: IPTV Simple Client 20.10.1 TV tuner: VBox TV Gateway for Cable (XTi 3452) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby server doesn't stop streaming unless all clients (simultaneous playback) stopped watching. Unfortunately Kodi requests 3 times the same stream on a single playback. Plugin catches the second query, but missed the third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1352 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Info: When using "Use path substitution" (plugin settings) in addon mode, disable the Kodi setting: "Media" -> "Videos" -> "Extract video information from files". Keep "Extract chapter thumbnails" enabled, that's the only reason to "fake local files" so Kodi extracts the chapter images. If not disabled, Kodi tries to extract metadata (in some edge cases). As a precaution, it's better to disable the "Extract video information from files" option. Due to Kodi's API limitations, the plugin cannot do this automatically.

I tried the new version and if I start watching a channel and then stop it, it no longer locks the tuner. So it works great! However if I don't stop the channel just switch to another, than the channel I was watching remains locked to one tuner and the new channel starts on the other tuner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
