quickmic 1488 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 @fattony Yes, this should works but has a drawback. You have no file synchronization. New content must be manually added to your sites, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattony 4 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 @Quickmic Correct, I add & remove content only from the emby server & these changes propagate out to the other locations automatically via resilio sync. All fully automated, & works like a charm! Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1488 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) I'm curious, is there a reason why you are manually syncing you devices. I don't see any benefit of a centralized server in your setup if you perform the sync via scripts. If you use a script based sync procedure, Kodi's internal database is capable to deal it?

fattony 4 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 there are no scripts involved, i simply add the new content to the emby server & my sync software (resilio sync) synchronises the content to each location & requires no interaction. Quote If you use a script based sync procedure, Kodi's internal database is capable to deal it? Yes but i have multiple devices at each location, each accessing the content at that location from a central samba share. if i was to only rely on kodi's internal database i would loose all the benefits of a of a centralised database e.g. shared watched and unwatched status of media on all devices. - to stop watching a movie in one room then finish watching it in another room etc. I used to do this with mysql but i find emby to be far more stable & as you know emby still utilises kodi's local database so it is multiples faster than mysql. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKRix 1 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) @quickmic so can this version work with 'up next' even though there's no native mode? Or is there some other way to get it to auto play the next episode of something now? Also, with the current stable version of 4.x I've been having issues with it not syncing all new media, often weirdly skipping a new episode of one show but syncing a new episode of another, not specific to any given show etc, just randomly missing it when syncing. Which then means I have to do a complete 'update libraries'... Is this fixed in 5.0? Finally, regarding updating libraries, are you able to make it so it only updates missing things rather than having to re-sync everything again like it does currently?

bozrdnag 73 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Just to confirm, I should uninstall the old E4K addon and the install this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1488 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Quote Or is there some other way to get it to auto play the next episode... Yes, the stock Kodi function. Settings -> Player - > Play next video automatically Quote Also, with the current stable version of 4.x I've been having issues with it not syncing all new media, often weirdly skipping a new episode of one show but syncing a new episode of another, not specific to any given show etc, just randomly missing it when syncing. I've fixed one issue in TVShows sync in 4.1.21 and higher including 5.X. but I also got some bug reports about that matter after 4.1.21. Maybe it's not the only issue there. Random issues are hard to track without a specific test case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's my test case at the moment. Regular update can work as well, just try it. Whatever your approach is , a DB wipe is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t123thomas 60 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 @quickmic,thanks for your efforts so far, it nice to see that this project is not dead, I have read through your posts, you said a rework of the artwork will also be re engineer, this particularly important especially for those watching remotely on a large media list the it takes quit a time for the artworks to populate, event when one scroll through the list. If its possible dont ask me how it works on Netflix and other app on Roku, the speed at which the artwork populate are very fast not evidence of waiting time etc. It will be nice if such concept if possible be incorporated in E4K. Thanks for your efforts and supports of the addon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly it's based on server upload bandwidth. ISPs consumer products are asymmetric. Download fast, upload slow. Usually this is the limiting factor.

Changes: Multi selection for TV shows and Musicvideos added "Cache all artwork" fixed, but not final (once triggered, it doesn't pause on video start or auto resume after Kodi restart) Artwork piped threw webservice (this fixes issues on multipurpose devices (LAN & WAN)) Shutdown/Restart fixes Kodi flag support added Edited November 14, 2020 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 361 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) hey This version (maybe also the prior one) is not functional at all on Kodi 17 (Windows 10). Kodi quits with a blank error message (coming from windows, not Kodi) after some time. (I wanted to make sure it runs okay on Kodi 17/Windows before I switch testing on Apple TV) kodi.log Edited November 14, 2020 by horstepipe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1488 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Thanks, actually I think I'll start Kodi 19 migration before I start bugfixing on Kodi 17. There are just 2 main features pending till 5.0 has the same functionality as 4.X. I estimate Kodi 19 migration will be available in the next 2-4 weeks. Before Kodi 19 migration, I've to check what's the best approach. I hate version queries in the code like if <19 do this else do that. It makes code ugly...

bozrdnag 73 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Flagging seems to work great with the new file names. Thanks! How do you use multiple version with this? I don't see anywhere to choose which version to play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1488 Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Movie or episode? There should be a selection box if multi version is available on play. Have you wiped your DB? Edited November 14, 2020 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozrdnag 73 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 My bad. I forgot that step. Just did that and now I do get the selection box. Great work! FYI - you're probably aware, but trailers still don't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
