jluce50 118 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) I switched back to the old Emby addon due to some issues with the new one and I noticed that I don't get backdrop art on the home screen anymore. I found this error in the log: 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: CCurlFile::Stat - Failed: HTTP response code said error(22) for http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/Items/3013c1b82f448e45b519ace003a465dd/Images/Backdrop/2?MaxWidth=10000&MaxHeight=10000&Format=original&Tag=e3ab56fe27d389446754d0fb04910a34 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: HTTP returned error 500 17:18:12 T:9340 NOTICE: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Reconnect, (re)try 1 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: HTTP returned error 500 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: CCurlFile::CReadState::Connect, didnt get any data from stream. 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: XFILE::CHTTPDirectory::GetDirectory - Unable to get http directory 17:18:12 T:9340 ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/Items/3013c1b82f448e45b519ace003a465dd/Images/Backdrop/2/?MaxWidth=10000&MaxHeight=10000&Format=original&Tag=e3ab56fe27d389446754d0fb04910a34 Has something changed on the server?

e123enitan 237 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yes, please try if that fixes the corrupted images... Yes it does fixed the issue on Alien and Ventura pic's posted above, but I had to do this twice, also its interesting to note, after change file structure of split video alluded in another threads, so when Kodi was powered up it created another poster making 3, initial two was redundant as the underlining path have altered, so when I deleted the texture, the two redundant poster was removed but left with a blanked, so I have to delete manually,( pressed C on keyboard to call context menu> Manage >delete) see after result. After testure was deleted I had to delete manually attached is logs, I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e123enitan 237 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) In addition to the above I found a better and easier way to get to clean texture without physically log to Kodi. In my case I have several Kodi on my network, this tool (advance IP scanner) which I installed on my server this gives me ability to manage all devices on my LAN from server computer. I documented simple steps as be below for does may find them self in my shoes, apology I am not fluent with process illustration, but think it self-explanatory, also the tool is intuitive enjoy it! Google it and download, I am not responsible for any advace impact it may caused to your system, you're on your own Edited April 29, 2015 by e123enitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterSanders 0 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Please forgive me for asking what I hope is a simple question with a simple answer. My main objective is to display all my Emby folders in Kodi as main shortcuts like the web client or Media Browser Theatre do (style withstanding), but it's escaping me how to do this. Here's what I'm currently using: Emby Server: 3.0.5597.1 Emby Add-on: 0.0.33 (add-on referenced here) Titan MediaBrowser skin: 3.3.0 Host for all: a single Windows 7 box Folders -- TV (with one directory, path substituted) Movies (with one directory, path substituted) Kids TV (with one directory, path substituted) Kids Movies (with one directory, path substituted) all of the directories listed above are independent; none within another. there are photos and music folders too, likewise, but I'm focusing on the video for now. I am unable to find a way to create a shortcut to Kids TV or Kids Movies. When I customize the main menu (edit menu shortcuts), adding TV Shows only creates a main shortcut to my TV folder, no other choices. When I do the same for Movies, it creates a shortcut that combines my Movies and Kids Movies folders, so I would obviously like to separate these but don't see how yet. I'll also point out that that Settings > Skin Settings > Skin Mode > Mediabrowser integration (XBMB3B) reads, "Addon not installed - please install this addon first." I assumed this is because I'm using the Emby add-on but I'm mentioning this in case there's relevance. There are obviously some clever folks on this forum and I hope one of you can give me a nudge in the right direction if you have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altramarine 21 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Hi MisterSanders, Same issue here. I managed to partially solve it: 1. (in Titan skin) Skin settings -> Advanced settings - Enable smart shortcuts -> Enable smart shortcuts for favorites: enabled 2. Switch to "Confluence" skin temporarily 3. Go to Videos -> Movies -> Tags 4. Add your Tags (emby folders) to Favorites 5. Switch back to "Titan" skin 6. Skin Settings -> Configure shortcuts -> Edit menu shortcuts -> Add -> Smart shortcuts -> choose your emby folders 7. Repeat for all of your emby folders Now you'll have the emby folders' shortcuts on your main screen with corresponding background images circulating. Now, when I said partially... this does not "magically" add the widget or submenu for these folders. @@marcelveldt I cannot find a way to add widget, submenu which draw content from corresponding folders (ie. All movies, Recently added, Genres, In progress, Unwatched) I would very much appreciate a hand with this:) Do I have to create playlists for each of the folders? Hopefully not:) Emby Server: 3.0.5597.1 Emby Add-on: 0.0.33 Titan MediaBrowser BETA skin: 3.3.2 Edited May 3, 2015 by altramarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelveldt 736 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Is there a way to change the refresh rate of the smart menu background and menu item images? at the moment on my machine it is refreshing them every 5 seconds, that is just a bit fast for me. BTW Smart Shortcuts is awesome. Update: Also having issues setting the widget, I select: Assign Widget->Video Library->Video Library->Emby - Kids Movies->Movies - Recently added The widget now show up when I hit UP but it is empty. I will provide a skin update later today which fixes these issues. Are you on the stable version or beta ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these issues are resolved in the next version of the Emby addon, which has many improvements. Please install the 0.1.1 version of the Emby addon (or auto update) and after that perform a database reset from the addon's settings. Once done, the complete Emby entrypoints will be available in the video library and you can select toplevel or sublevel items to create your own menu structure the way you want it. Note that if you want to have "fancy" tiles with rotating images the most easy way is to go to Videos --> (top of the library), select one of your emby collections and add it to the kodi favourites. If you have enabled "smart shortcuts" in the skin it will automatically retrieve pictures from the content in the background so the tile image and background picture will be images from the collection you pointed to in favorites. You can enable smart shortcuts in the skin settings --> advanced --> enable smart shortcuts for favorites. Once enabled go to the menu edit screen and select your created smart shortcut. I'm still in the process of thinking how to make this process easier but I'm kind of limited to certain Kodi restrictions. It's a bit of work to setup but you can up the skin all to your own preference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelveldt 736 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 For all users that are using the new Emby for Kodi addon I have some good news: I just uploaded beta version 3.3.4 of the skin to the beta repo which as a cool feature: It will auto create smart shortcuts for all your Emby video nodes, meaning: you can just pick a shortcut from the smart shortcuts and you will have: - automatic widget assignment - fancy rotating artwork on the tile and in the background - submenu's set with all sublevel entries for the smart shortcut. To add a smart short for Emby to your startscreen: 1) make sure you're using 0.1.3 of the emby addon. 2) make sure you're on version 3.3.4 of the titan skin 3) go to skin settings --> configure menu shortcuts 4) press add and select "Smart shortcuts for Emby" 5) choose your collection of choice 6) when you return to home, you will have the shortcut configured including it's widget and submenu set and ready. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browned 33 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Brand spanking noob when it comes to Kodi and Titan so not sure if this is a emby problem, Kodi, problem or Titan problem. I have added a smart shortcut for emby that points to my Kids TV media folder. Using the Titan all-in-one homescreen results in the recently added, in progress, Spotlight pictures and thumbnails listing TV from my other TV folder which is for older people. Selecting any of these thumbnails, especially recently added starts playing the show they shouldn't be watching. Also I cannot find the Set Views option anywhere in Kodi with Titan and Emby. Anyone able to shed some light. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Yes, parental support is not supported yet with Emby for Kodi, but I'm currently looking into what can be done. What settings have you set in your Emby server for your restricted user accounts? https://trello.com/c/qVepItTC/16-user-access-parental-not-being-respected As for Set Views I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to...Can you try to explain what you might be looking for?

browned 33 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Set views was possibly something from the older mediabrowser addon. I believe it allows a default view to be selected for the videos, music, and tv folders. Not 100% on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Oh! I know what you are talking about! Yes moving to Emby for Kodi, we are actually using Kodi's native features so it will remember the views you set, automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcelveldt 736 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am using the new "Smart shortcuts for Emby" option to add my main menu items and it is all working however it is taking about 30 seconds for my menu images and backgrounds to show up when I launch Kodi. Emby Addon : 0.1.4 Titan : 3.3.4 OK, I'll load the images from cache in front. Now it first creates the cache and then loads the images meaning at startup the generation is delayed.

jluce50 118 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I'm also noticing some odd behavior with smart shortcuts. When I set the Next Up shortcut as my TV widget it appears that one list of episodes is overlayed on top of another. It's really hard to explain. When I traverse the list the selected show is not highlighted. The only reason I can tell there is an overlay hiding the actual episodes is that when I scroll to the bottom and click down I can see the items underneath scroll back up to the top. Hopefully that makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a new version of the Emby addon available later today. Once you updated to the latest version of the Emby addon restart Kodi and check if the problem is fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
