tchirou 23 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Hello Guys Sorry in advance if the answer to my question is somewhere but I searched and couldn't find it. My current setup is : - SPMC 16.4.2 on nvidia shield tv and amazon fire sticks 2. - a Sony audio system (hence the use of SPMC to get full passtrough on the shield instead of Kodi + some tricks) - The SPMC library is a Mysql DB on a synology NAS (DS414j) - All media content is on the NAS I hope to get fiber optic instead of DSL soon, so I am doing research to find a way to have one library, accessible locally with SPMC and remotely with Emby iOS and windows apps What I am not sure about is how to migrate my library DB. I would like to keep all the watched status. I am thinking the following : - exporting the current state of the library to local nfos with the "export library" feature in SPMC settings - Shutdown SPMC. Remove the mysql access frm the advancedsettings.xml. Starting SPMC and importing the library in the local DB with the "import library" feature in SPMC settings - setting up the emby server on the NAS with no library path ? - installing the emby kodi add-on and having it import the local SPMC library DB in Emby ? (is there such a thing) ? Are these valid steps or Am I going in the wrong direction ? I never used emby so it is theoretical at this point Thanks for any help you can give me.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 @@Luke Can you let us know what is the best way to import watch status into Emby since Trakt is broken for the full import? Will the server make use of the watched status in the nfos? I don't want to give bad information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Correct that means options are limited to manual toggle at this point. Hopefully the trakt plugin can get fixed up soon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, well it seems there's no solution atm to import watched status. The server will not read the watched status flag from nfos. For the rest, yes you have to remove mysql access from advancedsettings.xml. You setup your emby server with your libraries (you'll see when you add them, you can also add the network path). Once you are happy with your setup, and setting up your watched status manually, you can install emby for kodi and it will import your emby database into kodi. Essentially, MYSQL is replaced by your Emby server. Wiki here (the image at the top of the wiki is a link to the youtube video...slightly outdated but still gives you a general idea): https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki If all your kodi devices run the same version, you can backup your first kodi setup and restore to other instances: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/Create-and-restore-from-backup Edited October 7, 2017 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchirou 23 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hello Thanks for your input. I setup today the emby server on my DS414j NAS but it is too damn slow. It is a not powerful NAS so I guess it is not emby's fault. I think I am going to install Plex Media server on my shield and sync with Kodi through trakt.tv I will keep an eye out for an emby server for the shield. Thanks for all your help !

paulsalter 84 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I thought Trakt was broken the other way, manually mark something as watched in Emby and it never gets sent to Trakt Importing played data from Trakt (for me anyway) is still working as expected I have added numerous shows recently which i have previously watched, the watched flag gets pulled from Trakt without issues Edited October 7, 2017 by paulsalter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for communicating the wrong information. Your Edit 3 is the issue i have If something is flagged as watched in Emby, the scheduled export will not send this to Trakt, it remains unwatched on there, the only way something gets marked as watched is after i view it For me, the way i get around this is i mark something as watched on the Trakt side, then this gets pulled into Emby at the next sync Agree on your last comment, i would go the Trakt route of sending it all from Kodi first, then install the Trakt plugin in Emby and pull the data down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchirou 23 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Hi Guys A follow-up So here is what I did. I scanned all my folders to build my emby database. And then I used Trakt for Emby to import my watched status into Emby. I reseted Kodi and installed Emby for Kodi and trakt for Kodi for the dayly use as I understand Trakt for Emby is a little buggy right now Thanks everyone for your input Edited November 10, 2017 by tchirou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
