E4K - tv show sync corner case

[horstepipe 356]

Hey @quickmic
That's quite a corner case and most people won't be affected I guess, but I am quite often as I regurlary replace seasons with an English audio track with seasons with German and English audio tracks as soon as they arrive. There's some hiccup with Emby for Kodi when removing and adding back the same season to Emby server.

 

Steps to reproduce (E4K addon mode, didn't test native)
- Quit Kodi

- Choose a tv show and remove a season folder (e.g. remove Season 2 in Windows explorer

- Perform a library scan in Emby Server

- Add the same season folder back to it's place

- Perform a library scan in Emby Server

- Start Kodi

 

You will notice that the season (or another season, I had different results here while trying to get accurate steps to reproduce) is being removed in Kodi's database and it won't come back. So you have to repair your whole tv shows library in Emby for Kodi which can take hours depending on your library size.

As said, corner case. Just in case you have time

Best regards

Well, then we are at least two.

I also update my TV shows quite often for exactly the same reason, but I just replace and rescan.

Is there a reason why you delete -> scan -> add -> scan?

Anyway, I'll perform a test.

Basically because I delete them one or two days before I add the new one

And (that‘s another issue but I don’t know if it’s still true) if you perform a initial library sync in Emby for Kodi and there‘s content (files) missing but still in Emby server‘s database, the sync aborts as soon as it arrives the respective item(s) and can‘t be completed.

thanks for looking into it!

Can you please check if you have following messages in the kodi log...

"Skipping stacked episode"

[quickmic 1352]

Fixed, please try:

this file:

/home/quickmic/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby/emby/objects/core/tvshows.py

search for:

        elif obj['Media'] == 'season':

replace (add a line)

        elif obj['Media'] == 'season':
            obj['ParentId'] = obj['KodiId']

 

If patch is applied (overwritten) add the line again.

 

In the next days, I'll upload to dev-patch
