badaas 139 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 can this be incorporated into the emby plugin? doesnt kodi install its own python? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yes Kodi uses Python - but that script is quite complex and not at all written to be called from Kodi. The best we can do is provide clear and easy to use setup instructions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolbasz 20 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 @xnappo I assume you are not the one to contact about issues? Specifically, I am watching the script run and after the first 2 items complete, I get nothing but errors. caching artwork x items of x remaining......., 1274 errors, 15 threads... the thread count can be 0 and it still occurs. For the record, I am running emby in a docker container and when the script run, emby is not available. So not available that the web interface is not accessible. As a result, I assume the errors are because the emby server is suddenly not available.. Is docker limited to a specific number of threads, is the issue my hardware docker is running on? I have no idea where to look from here, but surely the errors are not supposed to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best we can do is provide clear and easy to use setup instructions. Ah okay How about make the plugin cycle all itself on initial database import? Like run a viewmode and cycle all movies? A viewmode with each item a pixel (1920*1080 = 2,073,600 items, max is integernumitems), the script moves over each item, focus loads the fanart, sendclick opens item info, action(back), move on. XML maybe not possible as no maths functions... edit: actually wouldnt need to enter item if all images are available for top viewmode, just draw all images at 1 pixel, might blow up kodi though or overheat .. Hehe, obv. really simple for me to type here Edited May 19, 2015 by badaas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelveldt 736 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hmm, I still do not understand why it is that people have issues with this. Is this related to very large libraries or something ? I'm don't have any issues at all with missing artwork on any of my setups. Does this issue only happen on the widgets or also in other sections ?

xnappo 1593 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 It only happens with widgets and with things like the Aeon Nox fanart rotating on the home screen. I think it is actually bugs in the widgets and rotator scripts that this works around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent 91 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah the home screen of Arctic Zyphr skin is a good example where this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolbasz 20 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Is there a way to add this script into the add-on? Some option that says "Cache Artwork?" Not sure this would be possible since it is a kodi script, written by milhouse, so it is completely independent of emby. we may be using it with emby to correct some things, but it exists for kodi by itself. When I was troubleshooting the errors, it was milhouse on the kodi forum that suggested a single thread. He also said he knows nothing about emby, so the two are completely independent of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well whatever he is doing to add the image to the cache might be possible from the addon, but his code is very, very complex and I couldn't find that piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolbasz 20 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 yeah, who knows, I guess if you do it like that it would work. I was thinking more that people wanted the scripts as is implemented into emby...but your way would make a lot more sense. However, in the end what is the point, from a non-windows perspective, enable cron in kodi setting and add the scheduled task to scan nightly, weekly, minute-ly, whatever. Seems simpler. On windows, it wouldnt be much different, other than the call would be a scheduled task as opposed to cron job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 It is a huge script to run for a simple problem. It is a really good script to manage the db, but right now we are just using it to fix what seems like a Kodi bug in knowing to go external to get some images. I suspect that with what we know about the Kodi database now we will eventually be able to fix this. That said - yeah it is low priority since there is a work-around. xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
