Kodi_Newcomer 27 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hey there, maybe there is a way you can add netflix and amazon streams tOo in the library, like kodi do it ? When i have a amazon and netflix account, i can connect with it to the stream and watch it within emby. So trakt will work an for all media one interface.

Luke 37065 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Do they have an api to allow us to access the content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodi_Newcomer 27 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Puh, i dont know. There are 2 addons in Kodi, they can do that how it works, dont know. Maybe there is something how has a idea off it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi. No, sorry, we won't be able to do this unless they publish an API to allow access. I'm not saying that will never happen but these companies want you using their apps to access their streams because that allows them to track and market to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathsquirrel 741 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Netflix used to have an API that allowed this. Now they don't. It's a safe bet that they aren't going to add it back in the future. That means this can't be done by the Emby team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4dom 73 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 What about web shortcuts for ET? Not a perfect solution but something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnabryant 5 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I am not sure if I can reference another product here or not, but I use PlayOn.TV to record movies and TV from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and my current cable provider. I am using Emby to organize all of that content. Emby and PlayOn together is an excellent combination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1560 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I should imagine if it wasn't legal Netflix, Amazon, Hulu would have sued the, erm, buttocks off them years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnabryant 5 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It actually is totally legal. Check out https://www.playon.tv/blog/playon-legal for more details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yes, as long as you don't distribute the result, PlayOn is basically a DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodi_Newcomer 27 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) I am not sure if I can reference another product here or not, but I use PlayOn.TV to record movies and TV from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and my current cable provider. I am using Emby to organize all of that content. Emby and PlayOn together is an excellent combination. But is it right, that the recorded files are maximum 720p ? That is what i have read on the site. Yes, as long as you don't distribute the result, PlayOn is basically a DVR. So when i stream it in my house, and use it only for me, then its all ok ?

So when i stream it in my house, and use it only for me, then its all ok ? It is a maximum of 720p and also just stereo. Keep in mind that this is actually a screen (with audio) capture, and not a copy of the stream. It will record the video as it would play in a browser in a computer. That means that sometimes the controls do show in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also it'll record any blockiness you might get as the stream begins and if there's a glitch you might get that spinning circle in the middle of your recording as well.

I have PlayOn set to record from several sources, and the playback experience is exactly as though I'm watching it directly from Netflix, Hulu, or whatever the source is. I've never seen playback controls appear as part of the video, and I've never seen the spinning circle in the middle of a recording. But this forum is about Emby, not PlayOn :-).

Pelon 160 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Actually going back to the OP, with the playon plugin, you can access content from Amazon/Netflix and others, without having to record it. This won't track that status, but will allow you to view the content. You can use a Chrome extension like Trakflix to sync the status back to trakt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funwithmedia 352 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Perhaps if Reelgood ever adds a public API ( https://reelgood.com/faq#api-access ) that would be one avenue for someone to write a plugin to integrate all this into Emby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funwithmedia 352 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Some relevant updates on Reelgood (which I still think is our best bet for even partial integration with services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc): https://blog.reelgood.com/reelgood-acquires-guidebox https://www.guidebox.com 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamikel 5 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 For what it's worth, the netflix plugin for Kodi is hosted on github here: https://github.com/asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix. It appears to use something called Libwidevine to ensure the protection of content or something like that. Perhaps this could be a good starting point for integrating Netflix?

mastrmind11 717 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Interesting. Widevine is a google product, and is actually used _by_ Netflix for the DRM. I wonder what that plugin is doing under the hood. Maybe I'll dig into the code if I have some spare time this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
