Tight_wad 0 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Look for EmbySync in the threads. It's a new Kodi Plugin to replace XBM3C. Essentially it syncs all of the MB3 database into the native Kodi database. Works pretty damn well, syncs over resume location, and watched info as well. Is the one that you are talking about? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Kodi That is all I could find. Where is there more info about EmbySync?

Where do we get it? Thanks Is the one that you are talking about? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Kodi That is all I could find. Where is there more info about EmbySync? I believe the one @@MSattler is talking about is in the dev forums, so unless you are in the dev team, you won't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That is the one. I have been testing it for a few days now and it works pretty damn well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraslor 70 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That is the one. I have been testing it for a few days now and it works pretty damn well! Very cool, i've got it processing my database now and I'll play around with it! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Very cool, i've got it processing my database now and I'll play around with it! Thanks! Yeah it works very well. It direct plays on my Minix Neo x8h Plus and the Fire TV Sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_garat 0 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Posting this in the first thread, just because it's an interesting problem, related directly to sideloading the latest Android version onto the Fire TV (dunno about the stick). And I haven't encountered this problem on any other version of the app, or other platform.1. Run Media Browser through the normal convoluted way on Fire TV. 2. Play a full TV episode (Can't recall if it happens with movies, but say watching HD Castle, it happens EVERY time). 3. Exit, go select next episode. Result: When the episode tries to start, or simply in selecting the next episode, it starts to freeze up, and usually then turns to a grey screen, and just sits there. Just calling it out here. Just the weirdest repro of a problem I've seen. And it's pretty much 100% of the time. Strange stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSattler 387 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Which version of the client are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_garat 0 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Good question! Client is the latest one I got pushed through the Play Store, 2.2.10 looks like. Server is: 3.0.5569.0 though I don't expect that's relevant. Edit:Other notes: - Using wired connection rather than wireless - Maxed out the potential network speed to 40mbps, though I don't recall it mattered if it was 6mbps or 40.. I can test it more tonight. Edited April 1, 2015 by uber_garat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breezytm 124 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I apologize in advance for asking this. I just have been busy and haven't had much time to spend on here lately. Anyway, what is the status of the client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, what is the status of the client? I'm close to getting into it. The most likely scenario is that we have a new app targeted specifically at the Fire and other TV devices and the current app remains the mobile one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoff80 87 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) So until that possibly happens... The old XBMC plugin was really slow on a Fire TV Stick. As mentioned above, the new Kodi (now in open beta) plugin though is far faster, so people who have one should consider it as an option. Some skins are faster than others, but overall it works far better now than before. And I also discovered yesterday that it's possible to trick the built-in Fire TV launcher to show Kodi in apps/recent, so right now that makes it the most convenient, in my opinion (steps paraphrased from XDA-Developers: 1. Sideload Kodi 14.22. From the Settings>Applications section, run Kodi and go to at least the point where you reach the main menu (after the initial setup)3. On the PC, install Kodi from Amazon (Ignore the fact it says your Fire TV isn't compatible): http://www.amazon.com/XBMC-Foundatio...&keywords=Kodi 4. On the Fire TV, go to Settings>Account, and sync content 5. If it doesn't work at this point, de-register and then re-register your Amazon account from the Fire TV stick (Settings>Account) and repeat step 4. (Step 5 was necessary for me, but others on the thread I saw that from didn't have to do it). Edited April 2, 2015 by jhoff80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, really? I thought we nabbed that issue. Can you try re-starting by backing all the way out and then going back in? Rest assured it is just an issue with the display and the message should go away when the trial expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul777 13 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Great news, and nice interface. One slight issue I've noticed is that it seems to always transcode when I would have expected it to direct play from source and my server struggles when doing live transcoding of 1920x1080 video. In my settings on the fireTV the bitrate is set to 30MBps Here is the start of one of the transcode logs and details of the video as shown on the emby webpage h ttp://192.168.0.153/mediabrowser/videos/78e87583b2f5d0317fe7cde5cbe5fb17/hlsdynamic/main/0.ts?DeviceId=ba13856905fc0c33&MediaSourceId=78e87583b2f5d0317fe7cde5cbe5fb17&VideoCodec=h264&AudioCodec=aac&AudioStreamIndex=1&VideoBitrate=29872000&AudioBitrate=128000&MaxAudioChannels=2&MaxWidth=1920&MaxHeight=1080&Level=40&ClientTime=1430049301639&MaxVideoBitDepth=8&Profile=high&PlaySessionId=31248bc270ed4b0c9bfe6e5ebf4ef16c&api_key=11785974edbc4e22b5f5769d4b07aa5c C:\Users\mceuser\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\ffmpeg\20150110\ffmpeg.exe -fflags +genpts -i file:"\\lounge\media\TV Series\24\Season 9\24 S09E01.mp4" -map_metadata -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map -0:s -codec:v:0 libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset superfast -crf 23 -maxrate 1429344 -bufsize 2858688 -vsync vfr -profile:v high -level 40 -force_key_frames expr:gte(t,n_forced*3) -vf "scale=min(max(iw\,ih*dar)\,1280):trunc(ow/dar/2)*2" -flags -global_header -copyts -sc_threshold 0 -codec:a:0 aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 128000 -af "adelay=1,aresample=async=1" -hls_time 3 -start_number 0 -hls_list_size 0 -y "D:\Mediabrowser\transcodeTemp\84e4f51b867c474cdeb639d8d8850f0b.m3u8" CodecH264ProfileHighLevel41Resolution720x574Aspect ratio16:9AnamorphicYesInterlacedNoFramerate25Bitrate1395 kbpsBit depth8 bitPixel formatyuv420pRef frames4CABACYes AudioLanguageengCodecAACProfileLCLayoutstereoBitrate156 kbpsSample rate48000 khzDefaultYes AudioLanguageengCodecAC3Layout5.1Bitrate437 kbpsSample rate48000 khzDefaultNo SubtitleLanguageundCodecMOV_TEXTDefaultNoForcedNoExternalNo Edited April 26, 2015 by paul777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
