blackhawkpr 1 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hi, new to Emby and new to the forums. I'm transistioning from MySQL and I have a couple of questions so everything goes smoothly. Should I be starting from a clean install of Kodi? How should I backup my current Kodi/MySQL installation so that I can revert back to it just in case? Just backup "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi" and disable MySQL server from starting up? Uninstall MySQL and delete database if I'm satisfied with Kodi/Emby? I use the Trakt addon in Kodi and I see Emby has one as well. Is there a problem if I use it in both or is it redundant? I can just continue using the skin I'm currently using (Aeon Nox)? That's a big factor for acceptance from my SO. As long as it looks and works just like regular Kodi, she's sold. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puithove 208 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Yes. Yes, though really since you would no longer be pointing Kodi to you, you could even just leave MySQL running if you want to. I haven't done it, but search around. I know I've seen others who have synced their watched status from Kodi to Trakt, then from Trakt to Emby server in order to get watched status into Emby. Once in Emby, that data will sync back to your new Kodi instance via the Emby addon for Kodi. Yes, all Kodi normal skins will be usable as the Emby addon just inserts all the info into the local Kodi database and things work just as if you were using straight Kodi.

Deihmos 147 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Rename the kodi folder in appdata and that's it. There is no need to use the kodi trakt add-on anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpr 1 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Well, I already set up Emby with all of my media, added the Trakt plugin but not all of my watched statuses are correct. Some shows appear with the correct watched status and some appear like I've never watched them at all. Edit: Now that I look at my library in Emby, I don't think any watched status has synched. My credentials are correct. Is there any way to look at logs for the Trakt plugin? Edit 2: Figured out how to run the task manually and that worked. Is it a problem with Trakt, the plugin or Emby?

Deihmos 147 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 You have to run it manually to get watched stats from trakt. Future viewing will sync automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
