beta vs stable repo

If I have been running the beta repo to date, do I need to uninstall in order to go stable?  Or can I install over top?  Wasn't sure if the process mattered, thanks.

I installed over without a problem. The packages seems to have other names so KODI and you can differ between these packages. (I tried this for skins, dont know what happens with addons. you should ensure that only one addon is enabled)

 

To be 100% sure: deinstall the old one.

did I miss something?  I thought the repo went stable from beta with the actual plugin, but I just installed it and it is the old xbmc3c repo instead of emby.

I'm confused about this as well.  I uninstalled beta repo and installed stable, but it seems odd that it isn't based off of the latest beta build and that it references old things in the repo.

I've just installed the Stable repo - Noticed the image is incorrect so that will be corrected (soon hopefully) - but you could have both installed side by side (stable and beta). Just make sure you don't have auto update on.

I uninstalled the beta repo, and installed the stable version.  However, the add-on always updates to the beta version 1.0.02 still for some reason, which doesn't seem to work right now.  When I try to play a file via stream, it doesn't launch.  It looks like 1.0.03 is out, but I am not able to see that version.

Ok, the stable version only has one version. Stable 1.0.0. Which means it's not going to be updated for a while. So what you want to do is uninstall the current Emby for Kodi installed. Install the version inside the stable repo. Then it should be fine.

 

You were probably having difficulties because you already have a version higher than Stable and Kodi doesn't allow downgrade.

This!  Things quit playing for me last night on 1.0.02.  Auto-updated to 1.0.03 and the problem persists.  The stream starts and then immediately aborts. Problem started happening on my Windows HTPC as well as my FIreTV.  I was happily watching shows then the plugin auto-updated and everything went kaput.  I see the following in the kodi log.

Full debug log attached with multiple attempts to start a few different videos.  I will try rolling back to stable repo on the FireTV and see how that goes.

Yes we are aware of the issue. Thanks for reporting.

 

Can you try something, uninstall the currently installed version 1.0.03 and reinstall it from the beta repo. Restart Kodi and hopefully it will correct the problem. If you are looking for the new cinema feature, it will be reintroduced in the next version which will be released a bit later (it was causing the issue you are experiencing). Thanks :)

It shouldn't be. It doesn't contain the modification of 1.0.02. That's why I asked to reinstalled the beta version 1.0.03. :)

I disabled the addon, uninstalled, restarted kodi, forced an update check, installed the addon from the beta repo, noticed the icon is the new icon whereas it was the old MB icon previously, restarted kodi again and the problem is persisting for me.  Stream starts and immediately aborts.

Playback working OK.

 

I reinstalled the latest and reset the DB.

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure what my malfunction is.  I've deleted the addon, exited kodi, verified the plugin folder no longer exists, started kodi, installed the addon from the beta repo, restarted kodi, reset the local db + all settings and I'm still unable to play anything.

Same here. In fact I can't even setup 1.0.03 if I install that version from scratch I can't authenticate with Emby at all

After multiple uninstalls/installs from the beta repo I finally ended up downloading directly from git and installed on my htpc.  That seemed to do the trick and I am now able to play videos again on that system.  Not sure if that will help you at all but it may be worth a shot.

 

My FireTV is still having the issue after multiple re-installs.  Maybe some lag in updating the beta repo?  I'll try a re-install later this evening and if I continue to hit a wall I will update with the one I pulled from git.

which of these 2 is good from this link https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Kodi/wiki,

I have tried both several times installed and uninstalled, both seems to be having issue or another

for instance a " script error" when I try to play movie;

Sometime the movie seems to start but will not play;

Also further confusion 

one repo have not skills

and another Repo 1.0.3, addon is 1.0.2

 

Please confirm which repo to download as this moment.

Thanks

Refresh your repo.  1.0.2 is broken, if you refresh the beta repo you should get 1.0.3.

Thanks.

Playback is stuttering a lot on 1.0.03, even after the force refresh.

 

I get audio, but what looks like slow motion video.

 

It's late here in the UK, so will try again tomorrow and try and get logs etc.

@@xnappo - What is the recommended method to refresh the repo?  I have two systems running kodi with the emby addon, a windows 8.1 htpc and a FireTV.  I've been forcing a "Check for Updates" in Kodi all day on both. I even just received a new version of the "Nextup Service Notification" from the beta repo on my FireTV but no matter how many times I re-install Emby version 1.0.03 from the beta repo on the FIreTV it fails to playback. I had the same issue on my Windows 8.1 htpc until I downloaded the addon directly from https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Kodi and installed from zip.

 

@@Angelblue05 stated that version 1.0.0 was in the stable repo but no matter what I do I'm only seeing version 0.9.827 in the stable repo on both of my systems.  I'm not sure what I'm missing, and my problems may be unique, but It I'm suspecting it has to do with getting up to date info from the repo since pulling directly from git fixed it on one of my kodi instances.

1.0.3 have a new feature cache all fanart to Kodi texture I am kind of think this replaces texturecache.py tool?

So to see the impact one have to reset the emby DB anyway, I hope it remove fanart/poster lag and also it save a lot efforts especially when Install/uninstall for testing purposes.

guys I love addition, I often thought about that, this should be a piece of cake for you guys to incorporate into emby/kodi addon :) thanks for the efforts, I shall review and post log.

Just tested on Wetek Open elect 5.0.8 dual core- it works like Gem :D, I don't have mess around with texturecache.py tool, movies play is faster than previous, fanart/poster loads are faster Waooooooooo seriously snappy, although the process takes longer ( I don't care), I do expect that as my media collection is quit large, anyway it worth waiting for, conclusion I love it, this is a sell for me. 

 

On windows 7 I am getting script error both on Kodi 14.2 & 15, so it wont syn DB, I will get log and post soon.

Just so I understand stable. The repo is 1.0.0 and the same goes for emby. The 1.0.x beyond 0 is currently only beta releases.
