embyforkodi (next-gen) 6.X.X support

[bozrdnag 73]

Thanks for your patience and help!

[NNate 10]

I installed 5.1.7 through the beta repo a few days ago. I'm not seeing any updates since then. In fact, I'm not seeing any version in the repo. Is this still being synced up?

5.1.8 is the latest version in the repo.

5.1.9. not yet.

Sometimes it takes forever till Kodi updates new versions. Manual uninstall/install the beta repo  forces an update.

[quickmic 1347]

 

New Version available 5.1.10:

You can load from here, or wait till repo is synced.
http://embydata.com/downloads/addons/xbmb3c/multi-repo/beta-leia/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/plugin.video.emby-next-gen-5.1.10.zip

Fixes:
Sync issues and performance:
- Music DB had issues when multiple music libs are used, but only a subset should be synced to Kodi. This causes a mixture between all music libs
- Incremental sync on music libs and probably also other types of libs had issues, when NEW items are added. They were not synced.

 
New:
-

Known issues:
Multiserver not working
Dynamic lists slow/artwork
Some (minor) unicode issues in Kodi 18
Edge case issues on music sync
Cancel not working on Multi video selection

 

General:
-

In the Logs i have encode errors on every E4K startup. This is since i used the Nextgen Version (i mean 5.1.6). This must be ü (\xfc) and ä (\xe4) i think.
But all is working. By the way my Kodi and Emby working with german language.

[quickmic 1347]

Yes, I know this issue. Not sure what's the cause. Do you have an idea?

I's not coming from special characters in movies etc. Do you use a special character as emby server login or emby server hostname, or in your emby server libraries?

No embyserver name is "emby"  and my username is "loomes".

i have tested a little bit. When i change Kodi Language to english the encode error is gone.
I think it must be a reading of a Localized String. I will have a look at the utils code.

[quickmic 1347]

ok, I'll try that.

[horstepipe 356]

Hey

Anybody here using the latest beta and also can‘t login with E4K?

 

best regards

Its a problem with the "Umlauts" äü in the german Language file but i dont know why?! When i replace ä with ae and ü with ue the Error is gone.
I hope that helps you to find the Code Section for fixing.

By the way, the german po file was totaly messed up in formating. 
I fixed that. New File is in Attachment.

strings.po

[quickmic 1347]

Thanks, I'll review the file and add it.

Currently I'm tracking the issue. I can reproduce it, and has something to do with node labels.

[quickmic 1347]

Language file is still not correct.

e.g. english

msgctxt "#33217"
msgid "Verify the connection? Recommended: Disable for self-signed certificate only."
msgstr ""

german

msgctxt "#33217"
msgid "Verify the connection? Recommended: Disable for self-signed certificate \"only."
msgstr "Überprüfen Sie die Verbindung? Empfohlen: Deaktivieren Sie nur für selbstsigniertes Zertifikat."

german old

msgctxt "#33217"
msgid ""
"Verify the connection? Recommended: Disable for self-signed certificate "
"only."
msgstr ""
"Überprüfen Sie die Verbindung? Empfohlen: Deaktivieren Sie nur für "
"selbstsigniertes Zertifikat."

 

I assume it should be:

msgctxt "#33217"
msgid "Verify the connection? Recommended: Disable for self-signed certificate only."
msgstr "Überprüfen Sie die Verbindung? Empfohlen: Deaktivieren Sie nur für selbstsigniertes Zertifikat."

 

[loomes 40]

I have rewatched the whole file. I think now its fine.

ok, I'll check that. What was your approach? Is this an incremental sync issue or full sync?

That was the automatic incremental sync.

Kodi is running, i add a new episode on the server and after some time ~30sec-60sec the e4k addon becomes the info that some data has changed and read the changes.

[quickmic 1347]

ok, thanks. I think I know the issue. I'll fix it...

[quickmic 1347]

Just checking. Did it work before? I mean, the issue was not in 5.1.9, yes. but was a new episode actually added to the lib?

Cause this was a problem with music library before, no issue but not synced.

[loomes 40]

Yes i copied a mkv to the Series Folder on the Emby Server and then i clicked "search for missing metadata" on the Series in Emby Server.
And yes, after downgrade to 5.1.9 and a new scan of the series on the server (to trigger the update on e4k again) the episode was added in kodi.

@loomes

Can you please perform a quick test.

 

It should work, but this is not the final approach. I used a shortcut, not very elegant.

And I see, there is also an issue if you remove an episode. This takes a bit longer to fix.

 

[loomes 40]

Yes, checked it. 5.1.11 works again.
By the way the encode error is also gone.

[quickmic 1347]

Yes also fixed, and I used your translation file. Thank you!

[loomes 40]

Have you ever tought to host the code on github? Then its possible to change/fix things and send a pull request. Also it was easyer to track the code changes when something breaks after a update.

[quickmic 1347]

I'll check it in, as soon I release the first stable version. While beta, there are massive changes in the code. Even file structure changed. Makes no sense, changes would be just confusing at this point.
