I'm very sorry. This should be the correct one.

The log looks good. Does the log include the crash?

And another one with more debug-information.

Well, there is nothing odd in the log. I'll continue review...

Please try disable image enhanced, maybe this is an issue

Thx. Unfortunately still no change.

So I will try the last working version 6.2.7 and see what's happening.

Yes please, cause I cannot imagine any changes from 6.2.7 up to 6.2.9 could cause such an issue.

Finally the same problem now also occurse in 6.2.7.
I think that something went wrong when installing 6.2.7 -> 6.2.8 the first time. Maybe during the thumbnail deletion and reload something went wrong. As I have said in my first post, the crash can be reproduced when visiting a certain album cover with a "black" thumbnail, which cannot be loaded and finally kodi crashes.

very, very strange...

Frankly, I think this has nothing to do with the plugin or it's version.

Can you uninstall Kodi and delete ALL data / start with a new instance.

Or delete the complete (Kodid's) userdata folder.

Done and still no change in this behaviour.
Bin mit meinem Latein aktuell am Ende und gib auf.

If anybody ever have the same problem: About a handful of album covers (out of a total of over 300) cannot be loaded from the server and cause Kodi to crash since the update to 6.2.8 (including database reset and thumbnail reload). Movie or TV series covers and so on are all fine. This problem only occurs on the Shield 2017 (FireTV stick and Windows 10 are ok). Disabling the add-on helps keep Kodi from crashing but is not the point. Going back to 6.2.7 doesn't help either.

Hi @Suedstern

I have this problem on Nvidia shield 2015 since upgrade to experience 9 (android 11) . Kodi crash randomly ( in a way that the app is useless) if I use emby for kodi next gen or Plex kodi connect, connecting to remote servers. I didn’t try with a local database using these addons but I tried with a local database and with MySQL and everything works fine ( no crash at all ) 

[quickmic 1610]

Seems Nvidia shield causes lot's of troubles. Other users reported, plugin is working when configured properly and hotfixes installed.

Also not sure, you can try disable/enable http2 support if you use 6.2.7 or 6.2.8.

Sounds a bit like the NVidia shield issue.

Tried disabling  http2 made no difference

Noticed it only seems to happen with British shows US shows play fine

Not sure what's the difference (from a coding point of view)

Thx for the info. Now installed the Hotfix but doesn't fix this weired problem either.

Probably drop a comment in the Nvidia thread, the experts are there. I don't have Nvidia shield for tests.

Hi, any chance labels or tags for photos can be implanted with next gen? 

They are available in the Emby app but not in kodi yet.

I have tagged all my photos for easy searching and really love to have them in Kodi as well.

That kind of photo tags? "Name" is already in use.

I mean this one. 

This is not yet visible in Kodi Next gen. All I see there is A-Z but all those folders are empty.

Is there a problem with real-time monitoring? With the latest stable coreelec 19.4 rc2 and e4k 6.2.9, I get only new movies or changed stuff after restart or when i deactivate/activate your addon, webserver is on (artwork cache works).

Try send text messages to Kodi. If this works, realtime connection is established.

Also send me a kodi.log for review.

[Centory 21]

Strange, I don't see the message box in emby now, only when I start a movie, but my settings are the same as before. Like the picture they are correct, or not?

I don't know if you can do anything with this log.

That's right, it changed by Emby server update/new version.

The question is, does it work to send messages?

 

I'll check the log.

There is something really wrong. There is a double login to the same Emby server. I've seen that in the past once by another user.

The only solution was wiping all plugin data manually. Even better remove the complete .kodi folder and start from scratch. Currently I've no idea why this happened to you. I hope it's not a Kodi bug.

If you which I can have a deeper look, but in this case I need a backup of the complete .kodi folder for review.

Thanks for this. I had done a fresh install on two systems and it seems that I put the same backup on both devices. I have fixed my mistake and now works all normal.

Too bad, that was useful, always starting a movie for it is a bit pointless.

 

Thank you for your help and your time.

[quickmic 1610]

End of February is near. That's my target date for stable release (still 6.2.9).

Please report any issue if there are any.
