I would celebrate if this awful native mode could be finally dropped. (btw. same for Kodi 18 support ) Native mode is actually very important. For Devices that don't have enough RAM to spare, playing files directly from the native paths via SMB is faster than stream files from the server. It offers faster and smoother playback. I know someone would say, "get a better device". Which brings me to my second point. CU LRC relies on being able to read files directly from the path in order to display lyrics. Stream files don't contain a naming structure that the addon can decode to display lyrics. CU LRC can read files named same as the audio file eg %A-%T.mp3 requires %A-%T.lrc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between version 5.3.4 and 6.0.x was a bigger change, so I had to adjust some nodes and other things you have fixed and now it works perfect for me with also the newest version (6.1.11). i haven't tried native mode with 6.1.11. I used 6.0... and the nodes didn't have any content rendering my widgets empty. Also, playstates weren't being updated on kodi db even after being updated on emby db. I had to switch to addon mode.

If you wanna try you have to update or repair the db (or fully wipe it, but not mandatory). Just installed 6.1.1 on both Shield and Windows. On both devices I did a db reset including plugin data wipe and artwork cache (my usual routine). On both devices at every restart of Kodi I'm now greeted with the "enable user rating sync" and "playback mode" selection popups before getting the welkom message. https://paste.kodi.tv/ugarenutey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should use the artist/title infos from Kodi and not from files "guessing" what would could be the artist/title. it actually gives you options. it just doesn't work the same as when it reads the files directly. it doesn't dispaly lyrics when they are in the same folder with the song. Now I remember why Native paths work best with lyrics. If you have your music files and their lrc files in one machine say a PC, and you have a couple TV's in different rooms, Kodi would be able to stream the songs from Emby, but not the lrc files because they aren't scanned into Emby. When using direct paths, you point the addon to the same location that the music files are. So, with addon mode you get something like https://abcdfghttjkk.strm for a scanned file with native paths you get smb://music/song,mp3 and smb://music/song.lrc You can be able to access the lrc files from every client in your set-up because they can all be able to access the smb paths. I don't know if this makes it clearer or more confusing but one has to be able to have used and understood how CU LRC works.
