How to sync a music playlist from Emby to Kodi

[updatefreak 5]

Hi,

I use Emby for kodi next gen to sync my music to the Kodi Client (RPi with Libreelec) with Emby as Docker container on a Synology NAS. My music location is /volum1/music/Favoriten.
Is it possible to sync also the music playlists?

My playlist is in the m3u format (location: volume1/music/Playlist/Playlist.m3u) has the following structure:
../Favoriten/Artist 1 - Song 1.flac
../Favoriten/Artist 2 - Song 2.flac
This works directly in Emby, but I can not see these playlist in the Kodi Playlists.

For Kodi I changed playlist structure to
sftp://beispiel.dynv6.net:1246/Musik/Favoriten/Artist 1 - Song 1.flac
sftp://beispiel.dynv6.net:1246/Musik/Favoriten/Artist 2 - Song 2.flac
and copied these files manually to Kodi, which also works in Kodi.

But maybe there is a step to not manually have to change the playlists and sync them? (not sure if a other structure works also in Kodi)

Do you use 11.X version and did you select the playlists library to be synced?

[updatefreak 5]

I have the v10.0.47 and v10.1.0 installed on Kodi (from the stable repo).
The playlist-folder is part of the music library (-> Favoriten, Soundtracks and Playlists as separate folders)

Did you try the playlists via dynamic nodes?

[updatefreak 5]

I did not find an item for the playlists there or do I miss something?
I have attached pictures from the menu and a example playlist.

Running.m3u

Is the playlist reported on emby as playlist?

Check the video dynamic node too.

I'll also improve the playlists in one of the next versions. Seems music is not listed if you go via music nodes...

In emby via Chrome I saw the playlist.

I also checked the video, tvshow section (dynamic node), but also there a playlist item is not shown for me (checked it on Kodi (LibreELEC) on RPi and on Windows (Kodi v21.1 - latest version)).

Please try 11.1.13 -> use dynamic nodes. Synced nodes might not work at the moment, and I'll probably remove it from synced content due to Kodi limitations.

I tested the v11.1.13 but I did not found a playlist item in the list.
Do I miss something?
I attached the screenshots of Kodi (latesd version for Windows)

[quickmic 1557]

You ar browsing the "Musik" library. There must be a "Playlist" library.

[updatefreak 5]

Yes, there is this item, but it's emtpy (but on Emby I can see my playlists).

[quickmic 1557]

This is not the dynamic node.

Add-ons -> My-addons -> Music-addons -> Emby for Kodi next gen (Audio) -> Open -> Dynamic Nodes -> Playlists

[updatefreak 5]

ah ok, thanks for clarifikation. I will check.
One question: I saw that the "Emby for Kodi Next Gen (Audio)" is still in version 10.1.2 when I search for it in the beta repo of emby (https://kodi.emby.media/).
In Dienste I saw the "Emby for Kodi Next Gen" is 11.1.13.

So should I install the 11.1.13 and the Audio in 10.1.2 and then check the dynamic node?

Yes, the Audio, Image and Video addons are just helpers und usually not getting any updates.

Core modul is the service addon.

I installed now both "Emby for Kodi Next Gen (Audio)" (10.1.2) and  "Emby for Kodi Next Gen"  (v11.1.13).
I tried this path: Add-ons -> My-addons -> Music-addons -> Emby for Kodi next gen (Audio) -> Open -> Dynamic Nodes
but still not found the item playlists (screenshots attached)

You are again in the Musik library view. It's not there, it must be one before after selecting "Dynamische nodes" and before "Musik"

Ah ok.
After dynamic node and before "Musik" I have the attached screen

[quickmic 1557]

Does the Emby user (you use on Kodi) have access to the playlists? Please try an admin account.

Edited December 23, 2024 by quickmic

[updatefreak 5]

yes, I use my admin user

[quickmic 1557]

Ok, I'll doublecheck everything.

[quickmic 1557]

I uploaded plugin.service.emby-next-gen-11.1.14 in the public testing folder. Please try it.

Also you need to trigger a nodes reset and the playlist library resync.

If this still doesn't fix the issue, I need a kodi debug log after Kodi start and trigger the resync again.

Probably I would also need a test account on your server.

Send everything via PM, don't upload debug logs in public!

fyi, this is not the final version, there are still some issue e.g. autoplay next seems not to work...

I checked the plugin.service.emby-next-gen-11.1.14, but had the same result.
Hope that clearing local database, and reinstallation of the v11.1.14 and resync of the librarys as correct (not sure if a nodes reset in then included, but I guess so. If not let me know).

I will send you the kodi.log for detailed check

[quickmic 1557]

fixed in latest version
