pünktchen 1350 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 So here's my scenario: Kodi on HTPC, Emby on Server I always let the HTPC with running Kodi go to sleep while the Server is still active. The Server itself goes to sleep some minutes after this. The next time i wake up the HTPC while the Server is still sleeping, i get the known "Library Sync Thread has Exited" error. Shortly after this i get the notification from the Kodi Emby addon "Server unreachable". Imho this is a simple error in the logic how things are executed. The addon should first check for successful connection before starting the sync thread. If the connection is refused, then don't start the sync thread at all. I can attach the logs in the evening if you want some, but maybe my description is enough to find the culprit?!
Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Indeed. Thanks for reporting. Looking into it.

SwanStream 63 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 I've seen this as well. And had thought that proposed logic was already in. Since it's new, as a 'feature' to this logic maybe it's useful to have a pop-up letting you know the issue, and ask how quickly you want it retry connection/sync with some default if not responded to? Always nice to know there's an issue, and give me time to resolve the problem before popping up more errors, or alternatively give me no more info if the problem persists. With the sync thread dialog hidden, one can be blissfully uninformed...
Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) The logic is already in. However, I think the issue ends up being that the offline marker is not associate with the system going to sleep. That's what I added to the custom build. I'm hoping it will be ok now, but I need it tested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 9, 2016 by Angelblue05

We mostly use the pvr capabilities of Kodi, so it doesn't make sense that the Server would burn energy for nothing. Any dialog with a user interaction in this case is just annoying and irritates the wife.

pünktchen 1350 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Unfortunately i still get the error. Just as a info if it makes any difference: i don't put the HTPC to sleep from within Kodi, but just let Windows handle the standby.
xnappo 1608 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I know not the answer you are looking for, but I have my OpenElec box kill Kodi and restart it upon wake.. You could probably do something like that with Windows, though I don't know how.

Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Removing the message would not help in any way. Do you have your Kodi log? Can you post it? Thanks. I will try to come up with a solution in the long run, since the issue is that Kodi is not putting the device to sleep.

Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) It looks to be set to None according to your previous log. Edited March 13, 2016 by Angelblue05
Angelblue05 4131 Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the log! I will let you know once I got something for you to test. I think there's a Kodi notification we can use to correct the situation, now that I see it trigger in your log. Oh boy, such a silly mistake. The build I gave you didn't have the fix in it. Instead of clearing the online flag, I was clearing the onWake flag... Edited March 13, 2016 by Angelblue05

The only difference was, i started tv right after wakeup from sleep yesterday. Today i waited some minutes. I will keep an eye on it the next days and will report you back on Sunday. 1
pünktchen 1350 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Okay @@Angelblue05 it's still not working. The times the error wasn't shown i've forgotten to restart Kodi. I always thought the sync thread gets restarted if the addon connects to the server.
