peffe 4 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Hi, sometimes I start Kodi before the Emby server has finished booting up. Unfortunately, Emby for Kodi Next Gen doesn't (re)connect to the Emby server automatically then. I have to restart Kodi on the Nvidia Shield for it to connect to the Emby Server. Is there a way that the connection can be established automatically or with a click on a button once the Emby Server is available? Thank you very much!

quickmic 1371 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Well, next-gen should reconnect automatically. What was the status of Kodi and Emby server. Was Kodi in sleep mode or powered off. Was it the first attempt to reconnect etc btw, which version of the plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peffe 4 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Hi, thank you for your response. The Kodi Server is installed on my Window 10 Computer. Kodi 20.2 with Emby for Kodi Next Gen (latest stable) is installed on my Nvidia Shield. The computer is shutdown. Kodi on the Shield is not running (ended before). When I start Kodi first and then boot up my computer, Kodi is running before the Emby Server is running. Then Emby for Kodi Next Gen doesn't connect to the Emby Server when it is available. I have to end and restart Kodi to establish a connection. It seems that the plugin doesn't retry to connect when it fails on the first attempt. The Emby for Kodi next-gen plugin is set to update to the latest stable version automatically (Emby stable repo). Versions: Emby for Kodi Next Gen: 8.2.14 Kodi: 20.2 Emby Server: 4.7.14.0 (Kodi Companion 2.2.1 is installed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1371 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I'll check that, but please send me also a kodi.log when the issue appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peffe 4 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Thank you very much. As soon as I have some time for it and figure out how to get to the kodi.log on the Shield, I'll share it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peffe 4 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I managed to transfer the log file to my computer. I hope this helps. Edited December 19, 2023 by GrimReaper Log deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peffe 4 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Sorry. Please remove my uploaded log file. It contains data that I do not want to share publicly. Tank you! What I found out is, that the plugin first tries to connect to the local IP address of the emby server, but when it fails, it only retries to connect to my public IP address. But my emby server is only accessible on local network. It never tries to connect to the local IP again. 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 debug <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ ServerUnreachable ] {'url': 'http://[LOCAL IP]:8096/emby/system/info/public', 'timeout': (15, 300), 'verify': True} 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 info <general>: EMBY.emby.emby: Skip Emby server connection test: EmbyConnectLocalAddress 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 info <general>: EMBY.emby.emby: Skip Emby server connection test: EmbyConnectRemoteAddress 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 info <general>: EMBY.emby.emby: Skip Emby server connection test: ManualAddress 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 info <general>: EMBY.emby.emby: tryConnect url: http://[PUBLIC IP]:8096 2023-12-19 20:09:33.364 T:24137 debug <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ http ] {'url': 'http://[PUBLIC IP]:8096/emby/system/info/public', 'timeout': (15, 300)} 2023-12-19 20:09:33.374 T:24137 error <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ ServerUnreachable ] 2023-12-19 20:09:33.374 T:24137 debug <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ ServerUnreachable ] {'url': 'http://[PUBLIC IP]:8096/emby/system/info/public', 'timeout': (15, 300), 'verify': True} 2023-12-19 20:09:33.374 T:24137 warning <general>: EMBY.emby.http: Request no send, retry: 1 2023-12-19 20:09:33.382 T:24137 error <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ ServerUnreachable ] 2023-12-19 20:09:33.382 T:24137 debug <general>: EMBY.emby.http: [ ServerUnreachable ] {'url': 'http://[PUBLIC IP]:8096/emby/system/info/public', 'timeout': (15, 300), 'verify': True} 2023-12-19 20:09:33.382 T:24137 info <general>: EMBY.emby.emby: Tested all connection modes.

peffe 4 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 I solved the problem. I had to disable remote connections on the Emby server and then remove and re-add the server in the Emby for Kodi Next Gen settings. Now the addon only tries to establish a connection locally. So the error was due to my incorrect Emby server settings. Sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
