TeamB 2352 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The Kodi 19 Matrix nightly builds are now using Python 3, this will break a bunch of add-ons. I don't think there is a E4K Python 3 version yet, you will have to switch back to Kodi 18 if you want to use the E4K add-on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 The addon does not support python 3 yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Kodi 19 (Matrix) is just at the beginning. Don't expect an release in the next <12-16 months. Even I cannot port my skin because of missing dependecies. Stay away from it and run Leia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorjr 9 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Is there any beta or something that I can use or will there be no Emby for Kodi until Matrix is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Ask in 12 months when it hits somthing like a pre-alpha stage. Currently it can break day by day and is under heavy development. There is already stuff broken. And only a few addons are ported yet. Edit: EmbyCon is ported, if you really want to ride this unstable beast. Edited December 31, 2019 by sualfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorjr 9 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thank you. The fastest way to get it stable is that many people test it, or at least that is what I can bring to the party. But I prefer to use E4K. I just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It makes no sense to switch to any Kodi version in this early stage. What breaks day by day is Kodi itself. Not the addon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorjr 9 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I’ve used Milhouses daily builds for at least two years and it is not very often there any big unexpected problems. Works fine for every day use. And it is easy to go back to a working version if necessary. So the only reason for me to stop now is to wait for a Phyton 3 E4K addon.

LongMan 89 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @@raptorjr, Maybe MediaImport could tide you over. It is being re-based to master as we speak. But you could try the builds from here and we see if we can get some milhouse builds once the rebase is completed. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated Cheers, LongMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee1 10 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Wait 12 Months... THIS IS NOT THE WAY! I use Kodi 19 HDR Edition and i need it (Kodi 18 dosnt support HDR Meta Data Pass t. so its real worthless). No matter its alpha or not, its stable and still works perfect. So E4K should move quickly to Phyton 3 even to test it for futer final release. I pay for emby and we are in the HDR Century. HDR normaly should be have highest priority. In my opinion Edited January 3, 2020 by Gee1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sualfred 677 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Good that you are paying Emby, but Emby for Kodi is created by the community, not by the Emby team. This applies to Emby for Kodi, EmbyCon and the Embuary skin. We do this for in our spare time without getting payed. Deal with it, no Emby for Kodi in the next few months. We have our reasons why we aren't supporting Kodi in this early stages. And the Python3 conversion is not something that can be achieved in 1 or 2 evenings. As I said, EmbyCon is already Python3 compatible. Edit: Regarding HDR capatiblity for all other interested users -> Kodi 18 Leia is working great with HDR on Nvidia Shield, Xiaomi Mi Box, Fire TV 4k, Fire TV Cube, CoreElec.

raptorjr 9 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Yes, what kind of features does MediaImport have? What I want is that everything should feel like a local Kodi media library. No missing Kodi features or specials that need to be done once everything is setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongMan 89 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) It is the project on which Emby for Kodi is based. The experience should be more or less the same except that the feature is a core Kodi feature. After installing the required Media Importer, mediaimporter.emby in this case. Everything is internal to Kodi. I did a intro writeup here. Use the appropriate files from above and follow the instructions. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80916-kodi-mediaimport-project/ Here is an old video using Kodi installs of Kodi. It now supports external servers, including emby. Give it a try. 15 minutes of your time. You won't regret it.
