acnp77 60 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) @Angelblue I am having problems with the lastest version of Kodi-Client: Setup: - Emby Server V 3.2.20.0 - Kodi V 17.3 - Krypton - latest Kodi-Client - Addon mode, direct stream music lib Problem: After a fresh install of Kodi and Kodi-Emby-Client I did a initial sync. Under "music"-> "albums" I dont see the tracks of the album. All Albums are empty. If I got to "music" -> "songs" I see all songs with correct metatdata. -> I did a "repair local database (force update all content). After that everthing was ok. I could go to "music" -> "albums" and I had all my tracks in the albums. -> After a restart and automatic sync the tracks within the albums have disappeared again.... very frustrating. -> It happens with 95% of the albums but not with all of them. The sources are all the same format, on the same server etc... no difference. Any Ideas? Here is my log-file: ***removed*** With older versions I never had this problem. Can you provide a link to an older version? Thank you Edited July 29, 2017 by acnp77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Requests dependency is probably the issue here. Follow the steps here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/Emby-Repository Once you add the source, go to install from zip > newly added emby source > public testing > dependencies and install requests. Then try to install the addon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnp77 60 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) great, thank you. update: The Kodi-Addon doesnt seem to be the problem: I tried kodi V 15.2 and Kodi-Emby-client V 2.3.48 and everthing is ok. But I really would like to use Kodi V 17 Edited July 24, 2017 by acnp77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The addon is not the issue directly. But something in Kodi 17 is causing the requests dependency not to install (doesn't effect everyone, so I can't tell what's the issue). So once you install it, the emby addon should install too.

acnp77 60 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) thanks a lot for the info. The installation worked. But the original issue remains. The addon works with kodi V15 but with Kodi V17.3 I have the issue mentioned in my original post. The only solution I have is to stay with Kodi V15. EDIT: Is there a way to install Estuary on Kodi V15? Edited July 24, 2017 by acnp77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) @@acnp77 Is there a way to install Estuary on Kodi V15? No. I see your music artist being removed in your log. How big is your music library? Do you have your server log from the same timeframe as your Kodi log? If you search for this "emby/Artists" in your server log, do you find anything? Let me know what you find. Edited July 24, 2017 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnp77 60 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks for your reply: - My music lib has 342 Albums (or 4425 songs) - My server log's last entry is 26 day back. no idea why. I will try to provide kodi.log and server.log of the same timeframe... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 When it runs a manual sync, it compares the content from Kodi, to Emby. It feels like Emby is not returning most artists causing them to be removed in Kodi. The question is why is this happening? I don't see any timeout in the Kodi log.

acnp77 60 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 thanks for your effort, I can see it must be difficult to isolate the problem. I will try to provide the server log's too. What I can say for now is that the exact same kodi-addon version (2.3.48) works perfectly on kodi v15.x. But it causes this weird behavior on kodi V17.3 I will try to get more information on this... What I dont understand is that when I do a local db repair it gets erverything right. But then on the automatic sync it starts removing tracks from the albums...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you mean when you start up Kodi, then it's running a manual sync in your case, so you can just refer to my post When it removes an artist, it removes albums and tracks from the artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acnp77 60 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Most probably you are right Weird thing though: The album is not removed. Just the tracks. I can see the album with its title and cover, but it is empty. No tracks. Even weirder: - v 2.3.48: Initial sync (meaning the first complete sync) has no tracks in the albums. After db repair the tracks are all here. After reboot the tracks are gone. - v 2.3.2: Initial sync (meaning the first complete sync) has all the tracks in the albums. No db repair necessary. After reboot the tracks are gone. Only solution that I have is to use Kodi v15.x .( Cheers Edited July 25, 2017 by acnp77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acnp77 60 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I got the log files: I restarted kodi to get a new log file and then did a local db repair for the music lib. After that the music library is OK. (meaning I have all my tracks in the albums) Here is the log: ***removed*** Then is restarted kodi again, and waited for the manual sync to complete. After manual sync completed all my tracks within the albums were gone. Here is the log: ***removed*** Here is the server-log covering the timeframe of both kodi-logs: ***removed*** My main question is: Why does a db-repair fix the library and a manual sync breaks it again?

Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Do you have two music libraries in Emby? I think I see something in logs. Edit: I see this music library: 7e64e319657a9516ec78490da03edccb and this one: f4ba705da17d529023129be40ab43efa The f4... is used during the repair sync, and then the 76.. is used for the manual sync. (or vice versa, it's hard to tell without emby for kodi log set to debug). Anyway, I'll let you know if I find something, but tell me if you do have two music libraries.

acnp77 60 Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) thank you for your message Yes, I have two music librarys. One for music and one for audio books. Cheers EDIT: - the db repair fixes both lib's and the manual sync brakes both lib's - the addon works fine for both lib's with kodi v15.x - I could try to change the music lib for audio books to "home videos" to prevent it from syncing and see if it resolves the problem. - If it helps I can get the debug-mode log for you.
