I have run a debug log for you. Updated the series again.

I also just realised that the addon menu didn't load somehow:

 

kodi.log 204.48 kB · 0 downloads kodi.log 13.69 MB · 0 downloads

I need a reproducible test case.

Will check the logs, but they are spammed with skin (helper) records. Hard to find anything. I recommend testing with stock skin on a PC.

In the Kodi.log (debug) I removed the library series.

After the removal and a restart, some series were still present in the widgets:

 

In the Kodi1.log (debug) I have added the library series again.

The problem is as before that the seen status is not sincron with emby.

Step by step. You say you removed TVShows and the are still there. Please use a dedicated Kodi testinstance. With a fresh Kodi installation!

I tested this scenario countless times and without a dedicated Kodi environment, impossible to say what happens.

Such a bug report should be based on a complete new Kodi installation, sync TVShows, remove TVShows and confirm that Episodes/Shows are still there.

I tested again, library removal is working perfect on my setup.

Hmm, I need to think what could be the reason.

[Seger 110]

Deleted entire database kodi.log - that also worked, earlier I said that I had leftovers when removing the library, not the database.

completely new fresh installation, only library series added.

log will follow soon ...

What are we talking about yet? Leftovers? Inconsistent sync state of seasons?

[Seger 110]

I didn't have any leftovers when I deleted the entire database, the log should also look clean. I only had some when I deleted the library, but it could also be that it was just a cache and it was still shown in the widgets. for now, no main focus on remnants.

add the database to a fresh database, log now attached

Yes, the tag is missing in 9.X cause you assigned same content to different Emby libraries. That's a bug, will be fixed.

Hello,

have you fixed my problem with my playlists in the v9.3.0?
Unfortunately, I currently have the same problem...

Thank you and best regards

Yes should be fix, do you still have issues?

Edited January 21 by quickmic

[Tenker 5]

Yes, unfortunately the same.
My playlists that run under v8.x.x. do not work in the new version.

[quickmic 1373]

Ok, wait for 9.4.0 version or change the node from:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
  <name>Emby Filme.Neue</name>
  <match>all</match>
  <rule field="tag" operator="is">
    <value>Filme.Neue</value>
  </rule>
</smartplaylist>

to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
  <name>Emby Filme.Neue</name>
  <match>all</match>
  <rule field="tag" operator="is">
    <value>Filme.Neue (Library)</value>
  </rule>
</smartplaylist>

 

If you modify it, you must change it again when 9.4.0 is released.

I checked with Kodi nightly Windows 64bit master version, everything Kodi default only plugin installed. Sync is fine.

[Home2008 20]

Ich habe jetzt folgendes Gemacht:

1. Neueste Kodi Nightly installiert

2. Emby 9.x deinstalliert, Kodi beendet und alle Datenreste von Emby Unter User/Kodi gelöscht.

3. Kodi neu gestartet, und Emby 9.x installiert. Es wird nachgefragt: Addon Standart = Ja, Server => Benutzer ausgewählt, PW eingegeben. Danach passiert nichts mehr.

Keine Frage danach welche Bib ausgewählt werden soll. Keine Aktuallisierung. Filme Leer, Rest ist vorhanden.

 

I have now done the following:

1. installed the latest Kodi Nightly

2. uninstalled Emby 9.x, quit Kodi and deleted all data left over from Emby under User/Kodi.

3. restarted Kodi and installed Emby 9.x. You are prompted: Addon Standart = Yes, Server => User selected, PW entered. Nothing happens after that.

No question about which library should be selected. No update. Films Empty, rest is available.

I think you are still using an old emby.db

I'll add additional database verification.

I don't write as before because for me embyforkodi is not fully functional and I'm giving up even if I appreciate the effort put in this project. Now I use it only on one device to reduce problems, but also this way it is not fully reliable. For example few hours ago I deleted low quality episodes of a tvshows and replaced with high quality ones. On Emby everything ok, but on kodi the seasons replaced are missing. I setted sync date one day older, tried to force tvshows resync, but nothing. I will do a full resync again, but surely there are still problems.

[LittleWizard 29]

Ps I noted that removing libraries from syn doesn't work. I'll do a global db reset but I spend more time in resetting everything than watching movies.

Addendum: resetting didn't work this time. Library is void. Trier removing and reinstalling plugin, but still no luck. I'll check the log tomorrow, something is crashing sync.

If only emby app would enhance interface (smaller fonts, smarter graphics and better seek commands) we could forget the complication of EmbyforKody which is a added layer of problems.

By now version 7 was the best, early 8 was really good than it started gaining bugs till end of 8. 9 seems to be a little better mainly because of  but still buggy. Obviously it could be also because of kodi bugs and emby server bug. Adding a layer of complexity like EmbyforKody is a risk. I think would be better to focus on enhancing emby app interface.

I am never going to stop using Kodi

yes syncing data to the Kodi internal database can be an problematic, even the Kodi team don't recommend it, it has many places it can go wrong and keeping it up to date is not a trivial task.

you could try the dynamic nodes option in EmbyForKodi or EmbyCon (a different addon for Kodi) as these don't try to sync your data to the internal Kodi DB they just give you a dynamic view of what is on the Emby server. These dynamic approaches also have their issues but for a simpler solution with less hassle they can be a good alternative.
