Do you have a pointer to which dynamic node I might choose to get this info? I looked through them first (not being entirely sure of the difference between "synced" and "dynamic" nodes), and didn't see anything that looked like a viable candidate.

To see which nodes are available, I would not use the list in the skin customization. That's way to tricky if you are not sure what's the one you need. Use Kodi's video addons in Kodi's addon menu. There you have full access to every node available from e4k plugin. I think, what you want is under dynamic nodes -> TVShows -> continue watching, but double check the nodes. Once you know what you need, use the skin customization tools.

With the official stable release of Emby 4.9.1.80 last week, will we see version 12 come out of Public Testing soon?

You can use it already even it's tagged as public testing.

12.X major change is supporting Kodi 22 and it's still alpha.

Current stable (11.X) supports Emby 4.9.X server.

It looks like something was changed in the current Emby Server Beta Line, here 4.9.2.3/4.

Syncing needs now much more time, compared to the older Beta Server it feels like 5-10x slower now.

I use the current E4K 12.3.4.

I can provide logs if you tell me wich ones....server, kodi,...

Might be related as there may be an overall problem with slowness doing some tasks in the last couple of betas.  Only seems to be affecting some people though.

I'm still on 4.9.2.2 beta which is similar to latest stable version, quite sure it's a server issue. I'll update my test server, but it has only a small amount of content.

I would try again with 4.9.2.5 which looks like it's going up now.

Fix query error in previous build

It seems 4.9.2.5 fixes the slowness problem so far. the usual start sync looks fast again on my clients.

I will test some repair syncs later.

[Andy2k 72]

I did some database repairs and the usual startup syncs, from my feeling the beta server line 4.9.2.x is still with the latest one abit slower than the previous 4.9.1.x servers.

I guess there will come more changes in the server in the near future....

 Updated to latest betaserver 4.9.2.6:

The turbo ist back, sync is now maybe faster as with the previous beta server 4.9.1.xx

Currently I'm not able to trigger the issue on my setup. I used a mixed content library as well but seems to be fine. I assume my folder structure is a bit different than yours. I continue testing...

Just an FYI.

After doing some additional testing, I think I've found the issue.
After changing the setting: Emby Server>Library>Documentaries>"Merge the contents of the top level folders when using folder view"
and switch it "ON" the problem went away.

I did need to run the "repair libraries" on E4K for the fix to work.

Have a nice vacation.
