next-gen -> "perform local databse reset" and select yes when you will be asked for reset settings

sorry but i think i have to add some more information...

i am using emby on a himedia q5 pro. at the moment in native mode. everything is fine. himedia videoplayer is used in kodi for better playback (wrapper).

i have now set up a new media player and installed emby-next-gen beta and configured addon mode.
setup was ok and movies got imported and playback is possible. but only with the kodi videoplayer. when i click menu and say play with wrapper (himedia videoplayer) the wrapper app crashes.

after that i have removed emby-next-gen, installed it again and configured native mode. import of movies sucessful and also playback with himedia videoplayer works as expected.

any idea why it didn't work in addon mode?

Well, the only difference between both is native file access vs http stream. Problably himedia cannot play webstreams (depends on the stream content)? Can you please send me a kodi.log.

Perhaps an issue of the playercorefactory.xml of kodi?

<playercorefactory>
    <players>
        <player name="Wrapper" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
            <filename>com.himedia.xbmcwrapper</filename>

            <playcountminimumtime>120</playcountminimumtime>
        </player>
                
    </players>

    <rules action="prepend">
        <rule protocols="nfs" name="Wrapper" />        
        <rule protocols="smb" name="Wrapper" />

        <rule internetstream="true" player="VideoPlayer"/>

    </rules>
</playercorefactory>

Is it possible to play 4k movies in original resolution with addon mode? Or is there always a transcoding?
It is important for me to play the files in best video and audio quality.

I can play 4k content, yes but also depends on hardware. Just try it.

I have no experience with playercorefactory, but I guess something like that could help: 

<rule protocols="http" name="Wrapper" />

When i edit the playercorefactory to the suggested entry, the himedia videoplayer is standard player in kodi when i try to start the movie.

But the app crashes in addon mode. When i perform a local database reset and change from addon to native, everything is fine.

But then i have no cinema trailewrs before the movie 😩

The HiMedia Wrapper doesn't support HTTP. Therefore XBMC Wrapper must be installed.

But why should i make HTTP streaming when i can play the files directly via SMB? Very disapointing that I can't use cinema trailer in native mode!
What is the reason for that? Do I have any other opportunity to achiev playing my files with himedia videoplayer and playing trailers due to cinema mode?

It's not a next-gen feature, that a stock Kodi function.

The easiest way will be installing a log-upload addon in Kodi. Not sure how it's called, but I think you can find it.

 

Here's a log capturing the issue (no remote controls, sending a text message doesn't work)

Unfortunately cinema mode is almost impossible with native mode. I'm not explaining it in all it's details, but playing trailers is not a stock Kodi function. Therefore it's very hard to add this function. Lot's of ugly workaround would be required. I see what I can do, but I'm not promise anything yet.

One idea:

why isn‘t it possible to define that i will only play local trailers and that the same way as local movies are played? Then no internetstream has to be used.

I have tested the playback in addon mode with the xbmcwrapper cause this wrapper can handle http.
But i have no success. I get the message "Please wait" and nothing else happens.

I have added a nas-folder with smb. The playback fromn this source works perfect.

As mentioned, stock Kodi does not provide this feature, therefore the (movie) play requests from Kodi must be intercepted, canceled, redirected to trailers, after trailer played initiate movie playback again and so on. All this must be done by the plugin. Kodi just can't do that out of the box.

addon-mode gives me much more options (intercepting Kodi play commands and redirections). But I don't wanna bother you with technical details you have to trust me on this. It's not that easy.

Do you have any idea what i can try? Have you seen something in the kodi.log?

Please send me a another kogi.log here. Maybe I see something, btw.

Emby Trailers can be local or external. External trailers will ALWAYS be http based. Usually they come via youtube and the Kodi's youtube plugin is used.

Edit:

Youtube trailers are the "regular" ones.

I see you are tryng to play hevc content (h265) with omx: -> OMX.MTK.VIDEO.DECODER.HEVC

Not sure if this works. Have you tried transcoding to h264 (just as a test case)?

I have also tested by activating all transcoding options. Without success

Try disabling hardware decoding in Kodi player options (as a test).

Sorry to say, but I think you need to ask an "hu.xmister.xbmcwrapper" expert. I'm not.

 

I'll try to add trailer support for native mode...

Wow, that would be fantastic.

But this would only work with local trailers. Are you using local trailers (only)?
