Problem with mixed content directories?

Hello, thanks for Emby and the plugin, it's really great and works brilliantly with Kodi.

I have the usual Movie and TV library set up, but I also have a separate Documentaries library which has a mixed content.  Everytime I boot I see this error appear, which I don't think was there before I had the Documentaries library.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rmt0qoi7l8hzg71/kodi.log?dl=0

It's not a big deal as I can browse and play the contents of the library, but as an addon dev myself I see this in the log all the time and have finally gotten around to reporting it ;-)

Cheers

Hi, is there an entry in the server log at the same time, like for instance the http server rejecting a request?

Also what addon do you develop?

Hey, I develop a popular VPN plugin for LibreELEC, plus I have some stuff I just use personally to help me manage Kodi against my family trying to break it.

Here's the server log https://www.dropbox.com/s/xszxa2x9g226rwj/embyserver.txt?dl=0 it probably covers a number of restarts but one deliberate one at 08:18.  In this example I'm running Emby and Kodi on the same Windows box (192.168.1.72), but I get the same problem on my RPi boxes too, connecting to the same Emby server.

I restarted the client to recreate a couple times.  He's the view from the client so you can see the time stamps which are within a few seconds.

I have the same problem, but with "homevideos".

You can try as follows:

open file:

/home/quickmic/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/resources/lib/entrypoint/default.py (modify path to your actual kodi installation folder)

search and replace this line:

"browse(params.get('type'), params.get('id'), params.get('folder'), server)"

with that one:

"browse(params.get('type'), params.get('id'), params.get('folder'), params.get('server'))"

 

I'm still testing this fix, but at least the kodi.log is now clean.

 

Update:

This fix does not address the core issue. I'm working on that, but for the moment you can use it as a dirty workaround.

Thanks, for the feedback, I'll try with "mixed content". Hoping I can find the actual problem.

Still haven't found a proper solution, but I can tell you it's a timing issue and I know where the problem is located.

e.g. If I deactivate Estuary-modv2 Skin, the one I'm using, no issue.

NOTICE: EMBY.entrypoint.default -> path: ?type=mixed&mode=browse&id=f7b93310b9e773b95c46ee83d72464bc&reload= params: {
                                                "type": "mixed",
                                                "mode": "browse",
                                                "id": "f7b93310b9e773b95c46ee83d72464bc"
                                            }

The log record comes from a very early event call, before emby-for-kodi plugin wasn't fully initialized.

If I start with default skin, this event call will not be triggered. If I switch to mod-skin after booting with default skin, the event is also called, but as emby-for-kodi is fully loaded, the call doesn't raise the issue.

I could skip the event call before emby-for-kodi is fully loaded, but this would be a dirty hack.

Yeah, confirmed.  I'm using the super clean Lyrebird skin, which maybe is dead/dying from a support perspective 😞

If I switched back to Estuary, the problem goes away.

You think this is a problem with all mod skins or is this something that really needs fixing on a skin by skin basis?

Yesterday after my posting, I guess I found a propper solution. This should fix all possible issues related to that matter, but still testing it.

I drop it here as soon as I'm confinced, it has no sideeffects.

try as follows...

modify this file: /home/quickmic/.kodi/addons/plugin.video.emby/default.py

 

replace this section:

#################################################################################################

from entrypoint import Events

#################################################################################################

 

with this code:

#################################################################################################
from helper import window

#Verify emby for kodi plugin is fully loaded, timeout after 30 seconds
EmbyOnline = False

for i in range(60):
    if window('emby_online.bool'):
        EmbyOnline = True
        from entrypoint import Events
        break
    else:
        xbmc.sleep(500)

if not EmbyOnline:
    exit()

#################################################################################################

 

Please let me know, if this fixes the issue...

 

thanks

Excellent job, thanks!  Don't see any issues - here's the log from the boot time.  It's not barfing after it finds that mixed content library any more.

Hello, no issues at all on my Windows dev machine and I've restarted Kodi on that 10s of times since I made the change you suggested.

I have not tried it on any of my 'live' Kodi Raspberry Pi boxes for fear of family reprisal if it didn't work.  Do you want me to do try it there too, or am I good to wait for the update?  It's no bother if this is worth doing to give you confidence.

Thanks for the feedback.

No, you can wait for the update. Just checking, if you had issues with this fix so far. Actually it's very good, you have tested on Windows.

I have only Linux systems, Raspberry Libreelec and Vero4K OSMC.
