Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Hi I started to use emby for kodi a few days ago. Great experience! I have two questions left (for now ): 1. movies, video's and Tv series appear in kodi client and I can play them. But my music collection on emby server is not showing up. Must I add it manually? 2. multi user accounts with watched status and parental control per user are strong points of emby server. Is there a way to have this syncing and working in kodi client as well? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Vidman 589 Posted April 24, 2016 Solution Share Posted April 24, 2016 1. There is a switch in the addon settings to enable music... Check if it is actually activated. 2. In kodi you create a profile for each user and then for each user set up the kodi addon to use the corresponding emby user 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 Thanks. Clear. Will check the music switch in the addon settings. I believe I had it on but will double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Yep, solved. 1. Music didn't appear earlier in my kodi client. Now I know why. It's a large collection and apparently it needs to sync completely the first time before it appears. The syncing took hours = ... I gues it never completely finished in the past few days I started to use emby for Kodi. 2. Profiles created and all seems to work: playstate etc ... except Items blocked by emby parental controll still show up in my kids profiles?

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Make sure you enable to block items without rating in the emby dashboard > user settings (under your kids profile). Then, launch the emby for Kodi add-on > manual sync. It should remove items that do not belong, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been checking parental control settings in emby server and performed a manual sync. Access for my kids indeed isnow limited according to the parental controll settings. However, these same restrictions are also applied to my (and my wife's) profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How do you have your users set up in Emby? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Two kids, each a separate profile with parental control active. No password necessary to acces media libraries. Two adults, each a separate profile with full rights and password protected acces to libraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Sorry, I mean your parental control setting for your adult users. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Everything is allowed for the adults, no content is blocked, no maximum mpaa rating is set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 In the webclient, is the content also missing? We use the same method to get the appropriate content in Kodi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Web client behaves as expected: no blocked content shown for the kids, all the content available for the adults. strange all the users in kodi (in my set-up at least) inherit the parental control of the kids.

Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 I Could reproduce it. When performing a manual sync when logged in as an adult, all other profiles also media acces as set in emby parental control for that adult, in my set-up this is no restrictions. When performing a manual sync when logged in as a child, all other profiles get restricted media acces as set in emby parental control for that child.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 But I don't see how this is possible. Your Kodi profiles should be individually set up per emby user. We don't write to any database except for the profile currently loaded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think a while back there was someone who moved from SQL to Emby and still had some setting in advancedsettings.xml that was screwing things up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirlo1966 22 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Don't think advancedsettngs.xml has something to do with it. I installed emby server on my NAS last fall. It was a new, clean install and I cannot remember altering that xml. I used to do it in the MB days but stopped when emby server was released. Maybe it has something to dowith how I cretaed the kodi profiles? If I remember well there is the possibility to create a profile based upon the master account. That is what I did. But then when entering such new profile I was asked what emby profile should be coupled. Edited April 28, 2016 by ehgeahrev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
