QDivision 39 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi, The problem I'm having is as follows: Set a playlist or instant mix of music to stream to a Kodi installation from Emby web interface or Emby Android App, the artwork (album/background fanart) shows up on the first song but then when the next song comes on (from a natural ending of the previous song) the artwork doesn't appear. Note you have to let the song finish on it's own, if you skip the song in Kodi or Emby the artwork appears correctly for the next song. I am using the latest Emby server (3.5.3) on Windows 10 with up to date patches. Kodi is the latest release candidate 18 RC5 although this has happened with the other RCs emby kodi plugin is beta version 3.1.42a but has happened with the previous beta builds as well Not sure if this is a problem with Emby or Kodi or the Plugin.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I will look into it at some point. Thanks for reporting. It's likely an issue with Emby for Kodi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 I've just realised it's not just the artwork it's all the metadata that fails to show up including artist, song title etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The next version should fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Let me know if it's working with 3.1.44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi, Just tested and it's mostly fixed however the background fanart doesn't appear at all now if played from the emby app/web to Kodi but it does if I start the song in Kodi. (The background fanart is at artist level not song) Also I've notice the recently added albums seems to be wrong again (not sure if you want a separate thread for this) it seems to be completly different to what's in the 'latest music' section in emby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thanks for reporting back. Will look into the background fanart missing. There's nothing to be done. Latest in music is all based on the songs themselves, not the dateadded from the albums and so it will differ from Emby always, unfortunately.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Ok I remember what the issue was regarding latest music, it depends on the order in which the albums are imported into the database. And that wasn't something we could really support. But to be sure, I will add it to my list to review again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 This has been marked as fixed but the fanart still doesn't work with the latest release 4.0.1 is it still being looked into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sualfred 677 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Works here and Player.Art(fanart) gets filled correctly. And Estuary and Embuary are also returning it. It's possible that it is a skin issue on your end. Which skin are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I am using standard estuary. Did you start the stream from emby or from Kodi? The fanart shows correctly if I start music from Kodi but not if I start from emby casting to kodi. Edited January 30, 2019 by DIY-Sensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Started from Emby to Kodi. No issues with the default Estuary skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have just done a complete fresh installation of Kodi v18 release (no setting changes except allowing unknown sources) and only installed the Emby plugin (didn't alter any settings) set playback to addon default. The problem still remains, this is both on a Windows installation of Kodi and Fire TV. I am running latest Emby v4.0.1 and latest Emby plugin v4.0.1. The fanart only appears if i start music from within Kodi. If I go to the webapp of Emby (either localhost or through my domain name) click the cast icon top right, select the Kodi device, then select a song to play, the fanart does not appear, the album art does and the track info is correct.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've tested and fanart shows up for me too. What is your file structure, are you using artist/album/songs or just songs floating in a folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 My structure is artist/album/song. I don't understand why it's just me having this issue then. It's happening on all 3 of my devices and I did I fresh install to confirm. Is there anything else I can do to help diagnose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDivision 39 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Also, it was working fine with the previous emby plugin version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Please add the attached xml in the directory of your used skin and restart Kodi. Try to reproduce the issue and let me know which value is filled in the upper left corner. It should look like this: Custom_1148_test.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QDivision 39 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Hmm, the image seems to have got slightly corrupted on upload. Basically the second image just shows two quote marks with no url inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Are you still on Emby 3.5.3? Edit: Please also enable debug logging of the Emby addon in the addon settings and provide us a log. Edited January 31, 2019 by sualfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
