fyi, next version will requrie a complete database resync. I had to add addition info in the DB to get srt subtitles working.

Since the last sync went relatively smooth and took less than a day, I can live with that

@quickmic,

were you able to reproduce the no sync issue when using „Position zurücksetzen“ ?
 

Like mentioned, setting a movie to watched works.

That "reset resume position" is/was totally confusing me. Some longer time ago I saw that this function was introduced and was so happy about it, because it was supposed to "clean up" lists wayy easier. But then the button disappeared. Now I checked in Kodi 18.9 again and the button is back lol. Did they add it, remove it and readded it within Kodi 18.x updates...?

However, I'm happy to see that button again lol, so hopefully you can make it work with E4K.

[quickmic 1486]

I haven't modified anything in the context menu, actually I removed all the additional options from 4.x.

Maybe I re-add "Emby options" in the next releases (would make sense).

There was another option in 4.x "Emby play". Not sure what's good for.

"Emby transcode", edge case also removed at the moment.

So context menu is now Kodi stock.

[horstepipe 361]

Yep guss you got me wrong. I am aware that that button is kodi stock. 

[LongMan 97]

Add to Play Queue while 'casting' from the web client, is not queuing the item, it is playing the item immediately replacing anything alreadly playing.

[quickmic 1486]

Thanks, will check...

I installed the latest build (820), and it resets the database automatically, then restarts Kodi.

When I entered the libraries to sync, it started syncing the movies, but after around 5 seconds aborts with a message popup show in the attachement. When restarting Kodi, it asks if it should resume the sync, but then the same thing happens.

In the Kodi.log, I see the following error:

Kodi 18, right? Looks like a unicode issue.

[feerlessleadr 158]

@quickmic installed the latest build on a 100% fresh profile, and everything appears to be working fine.

Running latest CoreELEC stable version on an odroid N2.

Yes, Kodi 18 on Raspberry Pi/osmc. Never saw this issue with previous builds.

What's the next file after:

100 Girls

 

Please drop the Filename here. Are there special characters in the filename or in the Emby Movie name etc?

Well, this is a bit weird.
I opened my movie library in the Emby webinterface and sorted the movies by title, so it starts with the numbers. However, none of the movies from the log ("41", "44 Minutes", ".45", "88 Minutes", "99 Pieces", "1000 Girls") appear in my Emby movie library! However when I use the search in Emby, they are all found and can be played without problems. So I can't tell what would have been the next file after that since I can't make them appear in Emby easily. Anyone an idea what is going on here? Emby library has been fully updated/recreated a few days ago.

I grabbed and sorted all files on a file level and I think the next movie would be "247°F (2011)". Maybe the "°" character causes trouble.

Makes sense, I try to cover it...

[rwinstock 10]

Hi

 

Just a quick note....

1. Thanks for all your efforts on this, its very much appreciated!
2. Just upgraded from 735 to 820.  Did the full db reset, and ran into problems.  For "reasons" the upgrade had switched me into Native mode rather than Plugin - not sure why, never used that setting before.  Did a full settings reset and started again and all appears well.

 

Regards

 

Rich

Well it shouldn't do that. I'll check.

[rwinstock 10]

Log file - in case it helps!kodi.log

[quickmic 1486]

Thanks, native mode is not really tested yet and it shouldn't switch at all on update.

@All

Verify you are not in native mode. Probably reset settings, when e4k asks you for! Seems there is a bug in mode settings.

Hi Thanks for your efforts, I just updated the latest version, completed DB reset, sync was fine, however, the issue which I reported a while back still persist both in Kodi 18 &19 see attached screen this show information is not available once I update to the e4k alpha if I switch to e4k 4.22 that shows information is available , it only happen for TV shows, Movies works fine.

Let me know if you need further information to address this issue

Cheers!

@t123thomas

I found the bug, wrong reference in the DB. Will be fixed in next version, another DB resync will be required.

Ah ok, maybe I abort the resync I have running with the latest build then, it has been going for the last 2 days and is still at 28% (but increasing/still running).

[quickmic 1486]

Propably yes, I also modified something in the music DB. Not sure if this modification is requried, but as a precaution I added ID's in the pathes to be unique.

I hope this has no side effect, cause this adds in the path table in MyMusic.db for each Song a unique path. -> This means, before it was one record now it's a record for each song and could double the size of the MyMusic.db. Still testing...

From what I remember about audiobooks support in E4K, Angelblue once implemented it via plugin listing, so without database sync due to the fact that Kodi's database doesn't support resume positions for audio at all. But this was removed later because of Emby's general lack of support for audiobooks. But what I tested at that time was better than nothing, resuming worked (limited by Emby server's resuming capabilities for audiobooks). So maybe it's worth to examine this approach again...?

Is this on your list quick?
