Wingfat 0 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I just tried to run Emby on FreeNAS connected to my Kodi system. It reported that the Kodi version was not compatible. I believe I'm running one of the new Beta versions. Question is what is the latest version of Kodi that is compatible with the newest version of Emby? Thanks in advance!

Wingfat 0 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 The kodi addon only officially supports full versions of kodi Full version like in non-Beta official releases? Does that include LibreElec kodi distributions as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheemer 42 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 There is a difference between being supported and being lazy. Krypton has been testing for a while without problems. It would make sense if the code was changed to support krypton and then a kodi update broke it. But the way the devs are blocking this simple code update it sad and pathetic. Complaining about potential problems when they have no basis is ridiculous. Emby worked just fine in 16 before RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodibart 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I had to leave the milhouse LibreElec builds otherwise the emby app would not work. Unfortunately I also had to say goodby to the new standard skin Estuary Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 6P met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1114 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The problem with the Kodi Krypton Alpha and Beta builds, even though they function reliably, is that there are frequent changes to the Kodi database during these points in development. It makes no sense for the Emby for Kodi devs to try and chase compatibility with Kodi until the database version is locked in and finalized. We saw this happen when Jarvis was being developed and at any given time a new nightly could push a new database version causing Emby for Kodi to stop working without notice and all the users would flock to the forums looking for support and requesting an ETA on an updated version. I too look forward for Krypton compatibility but am content with waiting so the devs can update the plugin against a stationary target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguebert 9 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I wasn't trying to start a flame war, I do have it working with help from the devs for which I am grateful. For that reason I stick with the build I am using and don't upgrade unless I have to. Nevermind I was in the wrong thread.

And we have been trying to make the low level changes as they occur and just leaving the top level DB version unsupported so that advanced users can Alpha test. If we published a version that worked with alpha1 and then they changed the database in alpha2, we would get a whole bunch of people complaining the kids can't watch Sponge Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw-kid 192 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Yes, all versions up to Jarvis are compatible. Be they OpenELEC, LibreELEC, OSMC, etc... So reading this thread is sounds like I am safe to update Kodi to version 16.1 Jarvis from Kodi version 15.2 Isengard. As there had not been any beta updates of the Kodi add-on for quite sometime I came here looking to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh get off your high horse, Luke breaks crap all of the time. Have you not learned, you solve that by replying "Thank you for testing pre-release". Easy does it! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37248 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That's not his high horse. If i were him I wouldn't want to support alpha level Kodi versions either. When users report issues with dev level browsers I tell them the same thing, thanks for reporting, we'll look at it when it gets to RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt this make absolute sense it like chasing a moving target, a constant moving wheel. It would be overwhelming to manage such task given that dev team are not paid a dime for the plugin, it is done on a free will basis. I fully support the decision to only support when Kodi is at RC stage. Just my 2 cents thoughts Edited June 8, 2016 by e123enitan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
