PoBear 19 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I'm using the Kodi Add-on repository 2.5.10 I'm having problems with syncing music videos. When I first set up my system I disabled music and thought this would also disable music videos, especially as there was no shortcut to the Emby Music Video library available. so I created my own link directly from Kodi to my music video library but found that I was getting duplicate entries, one from Emby and one from Kodi So I removed the Kodi link and started syncing music as well, but Kodi is still doing a lookup for each music file so I am getting duplicate entries for some of the videos where the metadata is not exactly the same. I thought that Kodi would now take the metadata from Emby only. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I have no idea what version you are running, you have to check the addon itself. Also, this is happening because the source probably still exists? You have to remove from Kodi and remove it's content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoBear 19 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I have no idea what version you are running, you have to check the addon itself. I did. that's where I got the 2.5.10 from. When I deleted the Kodi source it prompted me to delete the associated content which I did. The Kodi lookup is definitely being done on information from Emby as I have tracked a new music video through from Emby to Kodi!

Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There is no such version for the addon or emby repository. Open the addon settings > advanced > reset the local database. You can keep your settings. Then, install the repo 1.0.5 here: http://kodi.emby.media/repository.beta.emby.kodi-1.0.5.zip Then install from repository > video add-ons > emby for kodi. Let me know from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Sorry I was looking at the wrong add-on entry I'm using 1.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 ok then, you are using the stable version. you could also use the beta version if you want. It will allow you to select which library to sync. You'll need to reset your local database to fix this. I will add a message when setting up about sources moving forward.

PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've followed your instructions and I have lost access to all my content none of the Emby short cuts are showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Did you resync your libraries? Launch the addon > add libraries, if you are unsure. Edited November 7, 2018 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 It had deleted the libraries to include, I've set them up again and done a sync and teh content is there but my skin is producing error messages all over the place and whenever I go into a library it;s asking what I want to looka at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 My skin has got corrupted and I can't access anything in Kodi all I have is a blank window, going to haveto re-install from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I am sorry for the inconvenience, this is a first I hear of a result like this. Resetting database is pretty standard, is it possible for you to reset the shortcuts without starting from scratch? Which skin are you using?

PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I tried installing 1.05 twice with the Titan skin selected and on both occasions as soon as I returned to the main menu I started getting SkinHelper errors. On the first occasion, I put it down to losing the Libraries but when I corrected that it was still throwing errors, trying to fix that I lost the skin completely and had a completely blank screen when starting Kodi so had to re-install. I then had the same errors on the re-install. Uninstalling 1,05 didn't make a difference Ended up reverting to 1.03 on a new install. I'm sorry but as it was 4am by then I didn't keep the logs.

PoBear 19 Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) New question if I may. I'm looking at the music videos by artist, why doesn't it show videos when no album is defined? I've verified this is happening by updating a video which originally had album defined and refreshing both Emby and Kodi. Thanks Edited November 7, 2018 by PoBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
