It only happens with 4k H265 Files files. I forgot to post this info, 

i tried many 4k files.

Same result

I assume, this is the input content. Have you transcoded to h264 or h265 (output)?

Actually, I tried several files, not able to reproduce the issue. Also I rule out srt subtiles involed due to its external type.

Currently, I'm in doubt that the issue is related to h265 or h264. Can you send me the emby-xxxxxxxxxx.db from Kodi. With this db file I could check the type of the subtitles.

You are correct 

H265 and H264  are the input contents. I transcoded to H264  as output.

I also tried some other H264 Files with srt subtitles. Same Error

The Subtiles are SRT Format before the MUX into the MKV Container. 

The Files are running great in chrome or the emby android tv app.

I've send you a test version. I hope it fixes the issue. btw, it has nothing todo with recording. The problem is, the seasoninfo is empty on recorded files. Actually this could happen anywhere not only on recordings.

Now it's added season "0" if no info received by Emby server.

Season "0" is usually the indicator for "Specials" in TV shows.

Installed and the recordings do appear while Kodi is open but only one of them has the recording visible to play. The other three are still empty.

The one that is visible has more info in the tvshow.nfo than the other three recordings.

Should Emby create season 0 folders for recordings without season and episode info? The recordings are  now recording in the main tv show folder.

If so and Kodi crashes, there is nothing the plugin could do here. It's a native file, Kodi fully controls playback for native files.

btw, "old" content will not be fixed without a database resync. New recordings should have the season info 0 and should be visible. Probably there are additional info missing... I'll check the other issues tomorrow.

I posted the wrong Kodi log files. These are the correct ones.

Most recent test build broke ISO playback again.

1. "Select Source Media" selection dialog appears more than once back to back when selecting item in Kodi.
2. Playback always fails.

[zanlation 1]

When I enable cinema mode the play-back of videos fails. I am using the latest emby-next-gen. embruary skin and emby server versions.

If I enable cinema mode in the embraury skin options with an intro video, the movie will start playing. However its plays the intro twice - as its is also playing the server option too.

Thanks for the log, I see there an issue reported but not sure if it's related to the cinnema mode problem.

Could be also based on you Emby Server settings.

From your log:

CCurlFile::Open failed with code 0 for http://127.0.0.1:57578/mnt/b2e773f9-8493-42a3-91ef-bd9a7ef78fbf/INTROS/ShieldTV/NOONAN%20CINEMAS%20INTRO%204K.mp4:

This file crashed the player. I've no idea where it's coming from. Sounds like a native file malformed to addon-mode-prefix. I assume the file is located here:

/mnt/b2e773f9-8493-42a3-91ef-bd9a7ef78fbf/INTROS/ShieldTV/NOONAN%20CINEMAS%20INTRO%204K.mp4

Obviously it an intro/trailer, can you post additional information about it?

@quickmicI've had issues with the Websockets failing and that the syncing has been somewhat unstable, I've sporadically lost the ability to send test messages from the server etc.

Now I've enabled Settings/Services/Control - Allow remote control from applications on other systems and now it's more or less flawless with the sync. Changes applied on the Emby server is reflected very quick on the kodi client and same goes the other way.

However....

When I try to zero the resume position on an episode from kodi this happens.

1: Zero set the resume position on the episode from the menu. Episode is removed from the In progress list in Kodi - nothing happens in Emby, I.E it remains at the current progress.

2: Restart Kodi, navigate to emby-next-gen "In Progress Episodes" - folder is empty

3: On the Emby server, resume playback for a couple of seconds on the episode

4: Now the episode becomes visible at step 2, after a skin reload the episode is listed as In Progress but without the progress bar visible.

In the Emby log this happens when I mark an episode as watched and unwatched

Here I've initiated playback, skipped ahead and stopped. Then I've tried to zero set the resume position from kodi, but nothing is received on the Emby server. After the below timestamps there's no references to POST, DELETE or 233275 so I think nothing is received on the Emby server. I've tried with both Embuary and Estuary and the results are the same.

In the kodi log all I see is: CPythonInvoker(190, /storage/.kodi/addons/script.embuary.helper/plugin.py): script successfully run

when I try to zero the position.

It's not the end of the world, it can easily be done by marking the episode as watched/unwatched to reset the state but it's always nice when workarounds aren't needed.

Currently the reset position is not reported at all from plugin to emby server. The plugin can only deal with info reported by Kodi (callbacks).

btw, this callback funtion is the same as used for "marked as watched/unwatched". In case of a position reset just item ID is reported, that's it.

Based on this limited info it could be any change. The plugin only knows that something has changed for this item.

Problem is, I don't know under which circumstances the callback is fired. If I capture every item callback and forward to Emby server as a refesh command, this could easily escalade and overload the plugin or server or just have a performance impact.

As mentioend before same callback is used for watched/unwatched but in this case, Kodi sends the info what has changed (additional parameter "playcout" is included in the callback info).

So this is straight forward for watched/unwached but not for resume reset playposition.

btw, this is also the reason why "add to favorites" is add into emby option menu and you cannot use the native Kodi option for it. Changes in native Kodi favorites are not reported at all to plugins.

Callbacks in general are not very well designed in Kodi but that's the way it is.

Currently the reset position is not reported at all from plugin to emby server. The plugin can only deal with info reported by Kodi (callbacks).

btw, this callback funtion is the same as used for "marked as watched/unwatched". In case of a position reset just item ID is reported, that's it.

Based on this limited info it could be any change. The plugin only knows that something has changed for this item.

Problem is, I don't know under which circumstances the callback is fired. If I capture every item callback and forward to Emby server as a refesh command, this could easily escalade and overload the plugin or server or just have a performance impact.

As mentioend before same callback is used for watched/unwatched but in this case, Kodi sends the info what has changed (additional parameter "playcout" is included in the callback info).

So this is straight forward for watched/unwached but not for resume reset playposition.

I'm still having issues with syncing to always on devices.
Last night I watched and deleted a few episodes after watch on the Shield, On the Fire TV all those episodes where still shown as unwatched.

Also during the night a new episode was added to Emby, on both the Shield and Fire TV that episode didn't show until I restarted the the E4K plugin.
This was with 6.0.6 build 24 (ex2) on both devices.

Edit: it looks like these sync fails only happen when the device is on but not used for some time. The Shield is connected wired, the stick wireless. I will check Emby during the day see if it keep seeing both devices as connected.

I'm checking that, I think the websocket connection still needs some improvements.

[BaukeZwart 94]

Already both devices are no longer listed as active devices in Emby.
Thats about 25 minutes after the last check.

I never checked this before, not sure if that's normal behaviour.

Edit: would it be possible for E4K to send a heartbeat periodically to tell Emby it's still alive?

I'm experience similar issues as @BaukeZwart

Scenario 1:

Emby-next-gen set to "Enable new content" as active. During playback of TV using Tvheadend client (NOT connected to Emby server) a file is added to the Emby server, I can see this in the log of kodi as well that data is received. Playback is stopped, no changes are visible on the kodi screen (see note after Scenario 4). I then initiate playback of a file stored at the Emby server, once running I stop the playback. Now kodi starts to update and I get notifications of added content.

 

Scenario 2:

Emby-next-gen set to "Enable new content" NOT active, same procedure as above but then the new content will not be added.

 

Scenario 3:

Emby-next-gen set to "Enable new content" as active. Emby server not displaying the kodi client as active device and kodi sitting at the home menu. New content is added.

 

Scenario 4:

Emby-next-gen set to "Enable new content" NOT active. Emby server not displaying the kodi client as active device and kodi sitting at the home menu. New content is NOT added.

NOTE: The new content is actually added, but not "loaded" or how to say. I can see that the file has changed, but the icon changes from a episode poster to the series poster and the file information isn't updated - it looks like kodi is aware that there has been a change, but it's not loading the changes.

 

 - If the Enable new content isn't activated it seems to prevent all content to be properly added, not only prevent popups.

- As per the "Enable new content" description Live TV from e.g. TVH should still get popups if there's new content (although I'm happy that it's not), something probably isn't right - see below issue.

 

I watch regular TV on my kodi client using TVH client (TVH server is a separate server on my LAN and not connected to Emby), I stop the TV playback and play something from the Emby server. Stop the Emby stream and start "normal" TV again, now the Emby server restarts playback on the server of the item I just played from there although TV is being broadcasted onto my screen, but on the server control panel it indicates playback of the recently stopped episode. This is new since next-gen V6.
