Happy2Play 8282 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 So Emby is only writing database information per library setting and Kodi comes along and writes a nfo and then Emby reads that nfo and creates problems as it does not contain all required Emby informations, sound about right?

Oh! I never even thought of that plugin. I do have that set up for the user name that Kodi is logging in with. Perhaps ultimately I should just uninstall this little bugger, considering I don't have the nfo option ticked in any of my libraries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 The option I'm referring to is an Emby function and nothing to do with Kodi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Emby does not read watched statuses from nfo files, unless something has changed. Enable this to save watch data to Nfo files for other applications to utilize.

artstar 12 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Righto then. I've changed the setting in the NFO plugin to "None" for the user setting. Let's see how we go with that when I test it again tonight. I'd say this ought to solve my problem. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artstar 12 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi guys, I'm starting off with an apology for wasting everyone's time. Setting the user to "None" for Emby's NFO plugin didn't stop the nfo file creation. Ultimately, what I found was that it was the Embuary add-on in Kodi that was actually producing the nfo files all this time. The moment I disabled the "Metadata Editor," no more nfo files were being written. Again, sorry for wasting everyone's time on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, why would you expect it to stop the nfo file creation? Did you read the help text underneath the option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
