tixx 8 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi, My nvidia shield updated Kodi to Matrix beta 1 and now i cant play anything from the main movies/tv shows etc menus. I've updated embycon to v1.10.6 When i opened Kodi v18 previously a small box would come up saying 'connected to emby' which doesnt happen anymore. I can still see all of the video libraries but when i try and play something nothing happens. If i go into the plugin and manually navigate to emby libraries - movies or tv shows then i can play things, but cant seem to do it from the main kodi menus. Any ideas? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
laola 10 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) maybe a stupid question - but how can I show all my libaries on the main screen (movies/tv shows) when I am using Embycon only ? Because I didn't find the trick, I used always the Embruary skin (which is also nice but not yet available for Kodi 19) Edited November 27, 2020 by laola Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks EmbyCon does not sync items to the local kodi database so you will not be able to use the standard movie and TV nodes. You can try the clone skin action in the addon main menu, there is a video showing it in the first post. This will clone the default skin and add some movie and TV episode nodes to the home screen menus. Link to post Share on other sites

MeowingTree 0 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hi, where can I find embycons error log? Keeps randomly not working and telling me to check the error log, but there's nothing in the servers logs. Link to post Share on other sites
TeamB 1825 Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 You will need to look in the Kodi log https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Easy 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I did this - but then the skin is pretty ugly and i.e. can't be used for LiveTV anymore (at least I didn't find the right menues). Link to post Share on other sites
TeamB 1825 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 @laola Yes the base skin is not for everyone, it is simple and gets the job done. From what I hear the Embuary skin may be updated for Kodi 19 but I am not sure when that will happen. This is usually the case for new versions of Kodi, when a new version comes out it can take some time for skins to catch up, Kodi 19 is a big change with the switch from Python2 to Python3 for all add-ons so it will take some time for all add-ons and skins to be updated and released for the new version. Plus Kodi 19 is still in Beta, when it hits release candidate or it may even take until it hits release this time due to the Python3 changes for everything to catch up.

laola 10 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Thanks for your omments. Then I just can paitently wait for a release of the Embuary skin - no big deal since I don't need to change to Kodi 19 (except my nature to want to have always the latest and greatest ;-)) Link to post Share on other sites
Myboredlife 1 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Just wondering, is there way for EmbyCon to use the backgrounds for screensaver from the emby server? or only what it cache within kodi? Link to post Share on other sites
TeamB 1825 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 There is an EmbyCon screen saver addon, it should be available in the repo. Which version of Kodi are you using 18 or 19? Link to post Share on other sites

TeamB 1825 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Version 18 of Kodi should already have the EmbyCon screen saver available. Look in the "Look and Feel -> Screensavers" area of the Emby repo Link to post Share on other sites
Myboredlife 1 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have it.. where is it getting the photos from? and is there anyway to disable or change the look of the "movie title" that is at bottom of screen saver Link to post Share on other sites
TeamB 1825 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 It gets all movie and TV show backdrops from emby. There is no settings for the addon, what do you want to change? You could edit the xml file that is used to display the screensaver pic, its in the addon screensaver.embycon path under kodi files. Link to post Share on other sites
