wints 23 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I posted this in the android forum aswell, hope it's ok to post it here too Hi hopefully just a quick one but how do I go about getting emby for kodi on nvidia shield? already have kodi installed. Cheers
xnappo 1608 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 You need to install our repo, see here: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/21888-emby-for-kodi-10-liv/ To install it, you can either download it on a PC, then go to Kodi->System->Addons->Install from zip file and browse to the PC on your network. Or, you can download it via a browser on the shield itself. Then go back to Kodi->System->Addons->Install From Repository->Kodi Emby Addons->Video Addons. The video in the post I linked above shows the process.
wints 23 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Cheers for the reply, yeah I was doing that but emby kept failing on install, then I realized I was using a test build of kodi so un-installed that downloaded a beta and all seems to be going ok at the minute as I type emby doing it's scan
wints 23 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Spoke too soon, whilst scanning it came up with an error saying "library sync has exited you should restart kodi now. Please report this on the forums" so I restarted kodi only to go through the whole process again with the same error warring?

wints 23 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Jeez I'm having a right old time of it lol I'm having issues with is I've installed kodi setup my video sources and so on then if I install a skin and try customizing the skin everything seem to lag by that I mean if I press to add smartshort cut it takes about 2 minutes before it opens this is happening on quite a few things that I try to change even trying to run emby for kodi takes a while before it starts after selecting it, no idea what to do as I new to android and the shield stuff any guidance or suggestions most appreciated
xnappo 1608 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Are you saying you set up video sources inside Kodi? You shouldn't do that - you just need to install Kodi, then the addon. If you did point Kodi to video sources, you are going to need to delete them.
wints 23 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks for the reply, I tired installing it both ways with different builds of kodi and was getting no where, in the end it turned out to be emby for kodi beta version causing the problem switched to stable version and all is fine at the minute
Vidman 590 Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Suggestion: when first setting up something you are unfamiliar with stick to stable versions, not test builds and betas jeez Edited January 18, 2016 by Vidman 1
snazy2000 344 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I have the same issue on Amazon Fire Stick going to do a fresh install of Kodi then try again
Angelblue05 4131 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 If it's crashing during the initial sync it's probably because you need to adjust the number of items gathered at once from your server Read the reminder in this post: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/19739-emby-for-kodi-beta/?p=290026
CBers 7114 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I have the same issue on Amazon Fire Stick going to do a fresh install of Kodi then try again The Amazon Fire Stick is one of those "low-powered" devices people keep talking about
snazy2000 344 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah its not great but not keen on the emby FTV app so thought woukd give it a ago not bothered if cant get to work really lol Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk
CBers 7114 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 It's finicky with the ATV app as well. Everything is automatically transcoded as it's not powerful enough to Direct Stream.

Angelblue05 4131 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Ok, next time post your Kodi log. Otherwise, it won't get fixed, whatever the issue is: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/17599-how-to-report-a-problem/
snazy2000 344 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Seems all good for me this time (didnt do anything) have now set to 50 anyway
