Emby4Kodi - "Enhance Error Notifications to show log" or "Improved error messages"

[bric 27]

Periodically, I get an error in Kodi that is due to the connection to Emby.

 

Scenario 1:

A video file has been removed/renamed in the file system (and the sync hasn't perfectly reflected this in Kodi even if Emby has detected the change) so that when you click it in Kodi, you get an error saying to check the log for more info.

 

Scenario 2:

I've configured the parental control to only allow video play during certain hours.  Attempting to start a video outside those hours results in the error notification dialogue box: failed to play and to check the log for more info.

 

Though I can surmise the cause in such cases, it would be nice to have the option to display more details in the dialogue box (especially for those in the house who don't have a clue why their video isn't playing).

 

I realize the log doesn't provide the level of user-friendliness that makes you want to use it in a dialogue but some sort of solution here would be handy... other than me being turned into tech support for the rest of the family.

 

So, an idea for the list: improved error messages.
