TugboatBill 13 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I have 4 or 5 Kodi boxes (Libreelec) that are connected to my Emby server. I have one issue - It seems my clients will randomly stop keeping the watched status in sync and I do sometimes see where the client isn't seeing new shows. I've been removing the type of video, IE TV Shows in Emby config on the client and then re adding it. It then syncs up and all is good. Then, a few weeks later I have to do it again, usually (but not always) on another client. Is there a recommended way to keep all of the clients in sync? Should I just plan on repairing & then remove & re add? Is there a command line I could use under Libreelec so I could auromate it via cron?

Luke 37180 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Hi, have you tried EmbyCon as a lighter alternative that doesn’t require syncing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugboatBill 13 Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 What do I lose going that way? On my Kodi devices all I use Emby for is a centralized server for videos info. I have the clients set up to use native paths so no transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugboatBill 13 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 Sorry, I really haven't had time to test. I did move one client over onto EmbyCon last night. It seemed to work ok, though I did notice I was missing some series artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugboatBill 13 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 OK, I tried EmbyCon but nothing was syncing between that client and the others. So I updated all my clients to Libreelec 11.0.1 and Beta 8. They're all in sync right now so we'll see if they stay in sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugboatBill 13 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Other than a watched status issue (now fixed in 4.7.12.0) I seem to be good now. We'll see how it does over time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1370 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Please send me a kodi.log after content should be updated. You need a reproducible test case. e.g. stop one box, play content on another. Wait 1 or 2 minutes and start the Box again. According to you description, this box is not syncing watched content. Exactly that's a log I need for review. Edited May 29, 2023 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugboatBill 13 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 I just updated to 8.2.3. If that doesn't work I'll post logs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
