loomes 40 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I also have installed Kodi19RC and the actual Version from this Addon (5.1.7) After the initial DB Sync in Addon Mode on all Series the Season Posters are not showing. After downgrade to 5.1.6 and a complete Database destroy and resync the Images for seasons are ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a collateral damage while I optimized the sync code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1344 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Sorry, not yet, but still on the todo list. I'm very busy to fix the last issues in e4k. This has highest priority. Kodi19 is close to final, and e4k should be super stable when it's released. I promise, I come back to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just switched to the Next-Gen yesterday. Unfortunately I also noticed that the season posters are not displayed. Now I have installed the 5.1.8 and wonder how I get the covers displayed, because they are unfortunately still not. How can I maybe even help to get to the bottom of the error?

loomes 40 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) One tiny thing. Can we change the Path for the tvtunes nfo files? from: library = self.Utils.translatePath("special://profile/addon_data/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/library") to: library = self.Utils.translatePath("special://profile/library/tvtunes") I think this make more sense?! And a question. Why are you reloading the skin every time when e4k starts up? @tosa65 You must repair your DB.

quickmic 1344 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) @tosa65 Unfortunately, you have to wipe the Kodi DB if you performed an initial sync on 5.1.7. 5.1.8 should fix it. Edited January 29, 2021 by quickmic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmic 1344 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 2 minutes ago, loomes said: Why are you reloading the skin every time when e4k starts up? Long story... E4k in 4.x version used the same Artwork paths (URL) as you initial synced your lib, but not dynamically. e.g. Initial sync 192.168.X was performed in LAN. This works, unless you are using a Laptop, and Kodi is started sometimes from Wan and sometimes in Lan. To load Artwork dynamically, I piped the Artwork threw the 127.0.0.1 socket. Here I can attach the actual URL on demand. Problem is, Kodi starts loading the artwork BEFORE connection is established. That's why, I have to reload the skin again, after Emby-server connection is online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I'm not using tvtunes beside testing. I just adapted e4k in 4.x version to 5.x My 2 cents... tvtunes makes more problems as benefits. I like the approach of tvtunes, but it's too slow and Kodi (native backend) is also not very performant (different topic).

I use it ONLY to play tvshow theme files (they all are stored on the emby Server) and for this it works great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1344 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Agree it works, but disagree on performance. If I select a TVShow, the theme should be played instantly. imho <50ms My experience best case 250-500ms. Sometimes even 1-2 Seconds. That's not fast, and I blame Kodi, not the plugin!

Just a little feedback on the series cover problem: With 5.1.8 and the repair of the series DB, everything works again. I still have one question: What is the reason of the next gen project? I can't really see a difference to the AngelBlue-Emby plugin? If you have already written something about it, I would appreciate a link. As I said, I only found out about it the day before yesterday... In any case, thank you for continuing to work on the plugin.

This thing here based on the old Addon but with many optimizations. Start a Playback of a Video File, its super fast compared to the 4x version of E4K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not just a code update, the 5.x method requires fundamental changes in DB and player code. Actually, 5.X is the 4.X with those changes. All bugfixes in 5.x are added in 4.x as long as it's possible. Some "fixes" are only available in 5.x. Actually unique 5.x "fixes" are not fixes, the bugs just not affecting 5.x due to complete different approach. 4.x is constantly manipulating playlist and Kodi related stuff. Also the player is actually faking things. If Kodi starts a video in 4.x, it's not just calling the URL of local websocket (and redirected to embyserver). The local webserver returns another PluginTriggerEvent. This event triggers the playercode, the playercode manipulates the playlist (deletes the current playlist item, injects a new playlistitem with the correct URL to the emby server) and starts the Kodi player via "resolveurl" command. The "resolveurl" is also a great source of issues. I spent hours fixing that part and it just become a little bit better/more reliable. As a side effect, playlist items are not labelled correctly with this updated code. Therefore it's just available in dev-mode in 4.x. I could go on, but I think you got a impression how 4.x works and it's totally different than 5.x. 5.x leaves those parts up to Kodi as it should be. As a matter of fact some bugs are just not there. Short summery, 4.x.has some design flaws (not just bugs) which results in awful workarounds and sometimes slow performance (e.g. Widgets). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozrdnag 73 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) I tried Native mode again on 5.1.8 and it does not work right for me. If I try to go into the Movies or TV Shows node of the addon I get an error.

quickmic 1344 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 I can fix that, just checking... You played via plugin lists, not via regular Kodi selections, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozrdnag 73 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I went to addons>video>Emby-next-gen>Movies>Movies. That's the same node I use for Movies on my home menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
