ddurdle 75 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm getting a "Webserver: Failed to start" error when after I setup the KODI emby plugin. I'm getting the error repeatedly during the sync (6 times) and whenever I navigate into Emby plugin within video-addons. The server address and port is correct and on my emby server, it reports seeing that KODI connecting with the correct user ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) We use the webserver to cache your artwork. If you go to kodi settings > services > webserver, are you able to enable it? What if you change the port, are you able to enable it? Let me know.

feerlessleadr 155 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Not sure what box you are using, but I got the webserver error when I accidentally had kodi & SPMC open at the same time on my shield, since both apps were trying to use 8080 for the webserver. Check to see if anything else is running on your webserver port, or, try changing the port in settings and restarting kodi.

ddurdle 75 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 That turned out to be the issue. I was not aware the plugin would be attempting to turn on the built in KODI webserver (used for http controls). I did go into the settings saw the option and noticed right away the default port was 8080 which I'm already using on the device for something else. Changed the port and all is now fine. Thanks guys, I noticed there is a plugins listing with Emby. We need a developer's forum for discussion of plugins -- or is there already one? I'm thinking about adding some support for cloud services like Google Drive for playback of media content (other then using .STRM files + KODI). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
