I haven't tested isos yet, but multiselection for native mode will be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for bringing this option back. I cannot promise you that. Probably I can try to re-add the "old" approach which is absolutely terrible. There is nothing smart in the so called smartshortcuts.

The current stacking behavior of entries in Kodi for the same video with different media formats is still very wonky. If you have a source file that requires Native while also under the SAME folder have a Addon (stream) format Kodi locks up and crashes on a Nvidia Shield 2019. Usually this is because the Trailers plugin pops up probably because it is trying to play the stream format but a different item tires to play. Even if I hit No for the trailer popup it seems like the Kodi or the Addon does not end up picking any media format. Like you suggested earlier we can keep ISO formats as separate entries in Kodi and streaming formats could stack. Ideally a preselect menu would be awesome like the old behavior but since this is not possible separate entries are a good compromise so the intended format could be selected which is not possible in the current implementation. I performed some tests. Are you using iso's? Looks iso's are supported by Emby server directly? Currently the plugin tries to play's directly via Kodi/native path, but seems this is not necessary. Can you confirm Emby server can play you iso content via webapplication. Edited July 1, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LichenKing 16 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Hello quickmic, Yes I am using ISO. I have a Nvidia Shield 2019 / small HTPCÂ and Synology NAS combo. The problem is how the ISO must be mounted on the Synology NAS. First the Emby Server account needs to run as sudo and be put into the sudoer list, which is generally not a good practice and unsupported by Synology officially. In addition the stream is most likely going to transcode on the Synology NAS due to container type of the underlying file which a Synology NAS is absolutely going to not be capable. I think Luke from Emby has recommended just to have Kodi handle this since Kodi can natively read the container format. I am not sure if Kodi is mounting the ISO image over the network or is actually got some special "magic" with reading the UFD format in a stream like way. ----- I want to emphasize the biggest issue from a library point of view is how ISOs and MKVs and MP4s under the same folder confuse Kodi / Emby Next Gen Plugin. Mixing these types I have consistently experienced UI bugs and errors during playback. For example the Select Media window pops up and even lists ISOs in the list because there are MP4s and ISOs in the same folder. Try playback and it crashes Kodi 99% of the time. If it is two different ISO (4k vs a 1080) version (same move title but different versions of that movie, could even be another 1080 directors cut), note the Select Media window does not pop up. Try playback and it crashes Kodi about 50% of the time. If it is just ONE ISO media I can get playback fine 99% of the time. ----- And yes I know the logic of, hey just convert to MKV. This is not a lack of laziness on my part, I usually like to preserved an original "Home Theater" full ISO disc experience and a portable MP4 version for on the go movement around the home.

That's why I was a bit surprised, why Kodi should treat iso's as native files. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaukeZwart 94 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) @quickmic did you remove my old friend the db reset? Or am I just looking in the wrong place. I lost backgrounds for movies and series, db repair didn't fix it. Was looking for a db reset but can't find the option anywhere. Edited July 4, 2021 by BaukeZwart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaukeZwart 94 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) A quick update, first try installing experimental build on Shield wasn't successful. Afther updating E4K, Kodi locked up, needed to restart Shield. After the restart all artwork was gone, backgrounds, episode thumbs everything. DB repair didn't do anything. Hit play, again Kodi locked up. In my hurry to go back to previous E4K build and have everything up and running before the evening started I forgot to pull a log. Maybe I will try again tomorrow when I have less time pressure. Edited July 4, 2021 by BaukeZwart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume, the update from previous version didn't fully reset everything and there are some leftovers.  I'll also perform a test on Android.
