CharleyVarrick Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) I've noticed since yesterday evening that while Emby is up to date, Kodi has fallen behind 3 days+ in regards to newly added content. When I start Kodi, I do see the Emby for Kodi user greeting popping up, but then no library updates are taking place. I restarted both Kodi and Emby, to no effect. I have tried Manage/Update libraries, but it does nothing. Here's the Kodi log: kodi.log Edited December 14, 2019 by jlr19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Looking into it, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 If it helps to know, I have 2 computers running Kodi and they're both behaving the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Please try 4.1.19 and keep me posted if the issue has not been resolved. For future reference, don't wait 3 days... I always leave previous builds up just in case. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/tips#sideload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) I did install 4.1.19 (it prompted "plugin (or addon) updated", but it still does not update newly added content. In case the process was semi-auto, I tried again manage/update libraries, to no avail.

Angelblue05 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 You have no device name assigned? In the add-on settings > set an alternate device name. Restart. Does it work then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 When I looked first, "use alternate device name" was unchecked. Once checked, it offered "Kodi" as device name (that's good?) I then restarted Kodi and it behaved the same (greeting but no update). I then went back in settings and changed device name to Kodi1, restarted Kodi, but again no update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Renaming device to Kodi1 was acknowledged by Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Provide an updated log? Turn off Kodi. Edit metadata for a title, wait a min, start Kodi, does it pick up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Provide an updated log? kodi.log 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Something is indeed off about your log. It is as if it never finishes the startup sync, it seems stuck trying to retrieve content from your server. But there are no errors in your log. Can you try enabling debug in the add-on settings > advanced and repeat this issue? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Turn off Kodi. Edit metadata for a title, wait a min, start Kodi, does it pick up? To this question, still no reaction from Kodi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the log size is barely below the 90MB limit, I am getting an error "No file was selected for upload" I will PM the log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) As stated in PM, Kodi resumed updating a couple hours ago and is now fully up to date. Why it stopped for a week, and also why it resumed updating 2 hrs ago remains a mystery... Edited December 16, 2019 by jlr19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Once Kodi on computer 1 resumed updating, I tried a number of similar things on Kodi's computer 2, to no avail. I then remembered Kodi 1 started to update 3 hours after last manipulations. I left Kodi 2 running all night long and this morning, it was updated. If a log is still relevant, I can provide one, but I'm a happy camper for now. Thanks & season's greetings, Angel ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTPAHHIK Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Similar problem with Fire TV devices and native path plugin configuration. This been around for a while and not new. Content updates must be force triggered manually to get client and server in sync. Switching from native paths to plugin default sovled this problem.

Angelblue05 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Similar problem with Fire TV devices and native path plugin configuration. This been around for a while and not new. Content updates must be force triggered manually to get client and server in sync. Switching from native paths to plugin default sovled this problem. Both modes work the same as far as updating content. They only vary as far as the path to content entered in database and playback tracking. Sounds like maybe something needed to get reset in your Kodi database to see updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
