Fixed Emby not always updating in Kodi

[heula 189]

I'm on Beta 4.2.0.24

[Angelblue05 4130]

I'm reworking this once more. There were a few changes in the api (with 4.2) that broke my previous solution for you. Thanks again for your patience guys, I hope to have a new build out either tonight or tomorrow.

Please let me know how I can replicate your situation on my side. I would really like to make sure it is resolved with this next build. Thanks again.

Please give it another go with 4.1.3. Repair your libraries (tv shows and movies). Let me know if it is back to normal.

Deleted one episode yesterday and it was removed from the library.

So it seems fixed. I will test more the next days. If I do not report back it's all good again.

 

Thanks!

Using 4.1.3 and same problem unfortunately. Have to manually repair libraries to get rid of deleted episodes.

Provide your Kodi log capturing this. Is Kodi running at the time you delete episodes or is this when you startup? Anyway, follow this here https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/how-to-report-an-issue

[mobamobamoba 5]

Not startup, while watching in Kodi. Finish a show, get delete option, click yes, show deletes from Emby but remains in Kodi until I manually update libraries.

 

And my Kodi log is huge; is there a particular part of it I can send to cut it down since I don't want to delete a file (obviously) just for the purposes of logging. I can see the chunk from yesterday's like where I finished watching something and deleted it and it's still in Kodi today. Would cutting/pasting that chunk help?

[Angelblue05 4130]

Follow the steps in the guide I linked above. Disable Kodi debug*, then your log shouldn't be huge. Thanks.

Sorry maybe I'm misunderstanding something in the wiki. It specifically says to upload my kodi.log so I'm not sure what you mean about disabling my kodi log.

You’re supposed to disable DEBUG log in Kodi settings -> System -> logging

Sorry I mispoke, I meant the Kodi debug, disable it and your log won’t be huge.

[mobamobamoba 5]

Log attached. I watched and deleted two shows then exited Kodi. The first was the only episode in a series and that deleted properly along with the series itself deleting. The second has the not-deleting bug. Thanks.

Thanks for your patience on this. I think I see something in your log that could explain the issue. I will do a little more testing and keep you posted once I have a solution.

[mobamobamoba 5]

Can you try this build? I saw there was an issue with terminating threads for removed items, that could potentially affect other content updates.

Okay I'll try it. FYI it threw this error on installation:

Ok thanks. Let me repost that build in a few minutes to retry.

[Angelblue05 4130]

Retry with this version. This time it should install correctly. Keep me posted.

plugin.video.emby-4.1.3c.zip

[mobamobamoba 5]

Installing the new one gave me an "Update Failed".

[Angelblue05 4130]

Log? Did you try to restart Kodi? I don't have that issue, I've just retried to make sure. It's 4.1.3 with 3 extra lines.

[mobamobamoba 5]

Restarting Kodi took care of it. I'll report back next time I delete and let you know if the fix worked.

[mobamobamoba 5]

Just deleted two shows and it looks like you fixed it - thanks!

[heula 189]

Sorry, but I have issues again. It seems really random. Sometimes the deleted episodes are gone and than a few stay behind. 

 

I have two Shield TV's now and on both I have the same issue.

Did you try the version I posted above? 4.1.3C?

No, must have missed that one. Will try that tomorrow.

Hi, Not sure if it's related to the issues in this thread or if I have a different problem.

 

For at least a week or so, When I open kodi 9 out of 10 times it does not process updates.  I will see the Welcome message than nothing happens.  New movies or shows that I've added to emby will not appear.  However if I add or delete movies/shows from emby while kodi is open it will process those new updates but not the missing updates.  In fact the only way I have found to correct the libraries in kodi is to do an update or repair library or local database reset. 

 

Another issue (possibly related) My multi-version movies are showing multiple entries in kodi.  You can choose any of the entries and each will behave correctly..  Meaning the choices will appear can be chosen and will play.  If I've done an update or repair of the library it will appear correctly temporary, but with each test it will eventually break into multiple entries. 

Emby is working correctly with all the above issues.

I've tried multiple tests, including rebuilding kodi.  I have three different devices all have the same new issue.  I've tried different versions of emby for kodi as well as different versions of Kodi (Leia). 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and 4.1.3c.  I even tried a rollback to 4.0.28.

I'm thinking it might be related to something that has changed in the beta versions of Emby server.  I'm currently on 4.2.0.31 beta.  I've been upgrading it regularly to see if gets fixed.

 

log attached.
