Emby for Kodi (Beta)


Scot

Recommended Posts

Angelblue05

Version 1.0.10 is available.

 

Important: We reverted the database detection method from previous version (1.0.09) back to a static method. This means we currently support Helix 14.2 (MyVideos90.db) and Isengard Beta 2 (MyVideos93.db).

 

Fix: Illegal characters in file name for Theme music (should now be finally fixed!)

 

Optimization:

  • Season posters should now reflect instantly when changed in Emby
  • Fanart backdrops should now reflect correctly when changed in Emby - give several seconds to see the new backdrop appear.
  • Added Series poster as All Season poster. - you will need to reset - resync library for them to show for already established Series.
  • Watched status should now be instant. Please test and report any issues.

version 1.0.12 has been released.

 

This version adds theme videos to the theme media sync, for people using theme videos you will need to run the option to "sync emby theme media to kodi" again.

Version 1.0.13 has been released to the repo.

 

The only difference to the previous version is a possible fix for theme music import with strange characters in the filename

version 1.0.14 has been sent to the beta repo

 

The only changes again relate to theme media. The last version assured a show/movie would have either a theme video or theme music as this was what the nfo format supported (which tvtunes reads and we create). However this was restrictive so a change has been made to include all theme media and with the help of the upcoming tvtunes version (5.0.2 onwards) it has options to prefer theme videos etc.

 

So please once again run the option to "sync emby theme media to kodi"

Version 1.0.15

 

If having the auto caching images setting enabled was causing an issue while syncing, this should now be resolved. Other improvements have been made regarding widgets refresh rate for new content, theme media and direct paths.

Hi All,

 

We have just pushed 1.1.0 to the stable repo.  See the beta thread for changes for now - I will try to document them all tomorrow.  Note that the beta is likely to go more unstable for a bit - so if you are using Beta - you might disable auto update, or switch to stable.

P.S. Note that the secondary IP address support in this release is still a BETA feature.

Version 1.1.13 previously 1.1.12, third time is the charm as I accidentally broke playback! Sorry guys.

 

New beta version to try out. There is two new features to test.

 

Fix: If you were unable to launch scripts from the Emby add-on launch menu, this is now resolved.

 

Features:

  • Cover art - Fix for cut off cover art
  • Local/remote access from same Kodi profile ** This is not Emby connect **

Cover art: Add-on settings > Extras > Force CoverArt ratio

If your poster CoverArt is cut off, you can enable this option to force the artwork to fit the standard Kodi image aspect ratio (image will be slightly distorted). Since images are cached in Kodi, you will need to reset/resync your library to see your artwork change. ** You should still request to fix the aspect ratio issue by posting in the appropriate thread to contact the skin creator. Using the Confluence skin, for example, displays Cover art correctly, without distorting the image. **

 

Local/remote access: Add-on settings > Emby > Use alternate address / Secondary Server Address

This feature is useful in the event you are on the move. You simply enable the option and enter your external server address, restart Kodi and it should now load your profile using your external address instead. This way you can enable Play from HTTP and stream/transcode while away from home! To recap, the secondary server address is only to reach the same server as the primary server address.

 

Feedback is appreciated! :)

Version 1.1.14 has been released.

 

This version contains a fix for the cast order presented on the video info screens. It is restricted to Kodi 15 and onwards.

 

A complete resync of the database will be needed to pick up the changes.

All - we will soon be pushing a much more 'beta' beta shortly.  Your testing is appreciated, but for WAF you might either switch to not updating automatically, or switch to 'stable' which is fairly up-to-date.

I hope you followed xnappo's advice to turn off automatic updates for your add-ons because we have just pushed a true 'beta' version. Only proceed when you have time to update and reset / re-scan your library. I'm really excited to announce this build, because it contains mostly fixes. We also changed a few things around so let us know if something that used to work suddenly stops working. Please try to reset / re-scan your library first before reporting an issue.

 

version 1.1.15 is now available

 

Features:

  • Added the option to delete movies after playback
  • Resume jumpback (in seconds)

Fixes:

  • Precise resume points
  • Theme media - direct stream syncing
  • Cast order should be the same as Emby's for Kodi Helix and Isengard
  • Genres - Clean up genres if modified, as well as correctly display Genres for TV shows.
  • Masterlock - We now create sources during the first initial sync. This means your library should now display when using Masterlock.
  • Error during login - due to Emby "disable access user preferences" setting.
  • Plugin paths now support mediaflags (bluray, 3D, etc) and should properly reflect this when navigating your Kodi library (MQ cases, etc.).
  • Kodi audio and subtitles track should now be remembered after being changed.
  • Make report progress to Emby more accurate
  • Remote command should now be accepted during the first minute of playback.

Changes:

  • The library syncing process was moved to it's on thread. In general, the add-on should perform faster and be more responsive. Especially at startup.
  • Improved information logging (1) so you are able to see the exact content being processed.

 

That's it! We are still cleaning up our code, but soon we should be able to start focusing on adding new features. Thanks for your constant feedback!  :D

version 1.1.18 is available

 

We should be back on track with this build. The initial sync should complete once again. To make sure everything goes smoothly, you will need to reset and resync your library after updating to 1.1.18. Music also received a much needed update, thank you @@marcelveldt. As usual, please refer to this post to report any issues: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/17599-how-to-report-a-problem/

 

For those who are having difficulties with the repository - the add-on showing incompatible, you will need to install Emby for Kodi manually with the zip attached to this post. We are still looking into a solution and will make a small announcement when it is resolved.

version 1.1.25

 

This contains a fix for music.

 

More info: We are now processing your music in batch of 200 items. You might see the scan get stuck at one point, it's very normal since the add-on is pulling all the data from your server for the next section to process. For music, we process the sections in the following order after boxsets: Artists, Albums, Songs.

 

For example, the scan gets stuck at 98% for Albums, it is currently pulling all your songs from your server. If you have a large amount of items for the songs section, it will take longer and might give the impression the scan is stuck, when it's not. :) Hopefully we will be able to improve the visual logging the reflect this in the future.

 

Please, let us know if you still see mentions of read timeout in your logs when scanning your music library in or if the scan still doesn't complete.

version 1.1.35

  • Fix error in reporting to the server, when playing music.
  • *Fix for reset not working from within the add-on settings.
  • Added external subtitles as selectable tracks for direct play and direct stream.
  • Added option to direct stream music library - useful for out of network playback.
  • Added extra setup dialog for the new music option.

More info about the new music option:

Music library works differently from the Video library. It does not allow us to have the same flexibility by using plugin paths. So if you plan on using your music library outside your network, you will need to enable the setting to Direct stream music and reset your library. This means we insert into your database an http link to your server rather than the actual network path. This is necessary as the paths inserted into the database are unchangeable (unable to go from network path to direct stream, and vice versa).

 

As usual, see the following to report a problem. Please remember enabling Kodi debug is not necessary, unless we request it (it just makes it hard for us to verify your logs). Thanks everyone!

version 1.1.38

 

- Preparation for Jarvis (currently unsupported)

- Detection of version of addon DB was created with

- Preliminary support for mixed content (please test!)

- Preliminary support for having 'ViewStyles' turned off (please test!)

 

NOTE: This version of the addon starts tracking the version of the addon the DB was created with.  The first time you run, it is not going to know, so it will ask you if you created it with at least version 1.1.33.  Please do your best to answer correctly :)  If your DB was created with an older version you will need to reset.

- Use internal code for DB version check as library used in 1.1.38 is not on all Kodi installs
