Fixed Problem repairing music library

[Maboz 7]

I had added a music library with Emby 3.5.3, a lot of artists were wrongly recognized on musicbrainz, and the bogus data added to kodi by Emby for Kodi, so a bunch of artists are not properly recognized by kodi.

 

Now I updated to Emby 4, did a Emby rescan and now it properly recognized most of the artists in Emby. Though Emby for Kodi doesn't seem to update those artists in Kodi.

I tried to Repair the Music Library in Emby for Kodi, but I get this error:

What should I do to make Kodi pick up the updated artists?

Have you updated to the Emby for Kodi beta addon? If not, please do it and perform a complete database reset. This is required for Emby 4.

Yes, I already did that some time ago, but I did the database reset when the server was 3.5.3 yet, so artist info was wrong at that time. Should I reset the database again (it takes quite some time)

[sualfred 677]

Yes, it is required for Emby 4. The server database structure has been changed.

I restarted Kodi, and now it seems to be syncing music properly. I'll check in a few minutes if it did it.

[Maboz 7]

It did it, not sure why it didn't work at the previous restart, now it properly synced all artists and Kodi recognizes them... It's a mistery.

Thanks for the help, you can close this thread.

This issue should not happen again with 3.1.45.
