foghat 65 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I had my jarivs build of kodi crash something hard today. So not sure if this issue is related to installing the latest emby for kodi (1.1.51), but: After reinstalling the latest nightly of Jarvis and latest emby for kodi add-on when I try to edit (or add) a short-cut for the submenus, there is nothing in the the smart shortcuts 'folder'. The smart shortcut folder doesn't have the emby icon anymore either. Using android tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediaGuy 8 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Actually there is no space.. Between the channel number and the channel name is the channel icon. I guess in your setup there is no channel icon ? What I can do here is make the label larger only if there's no icon present. Available in next beta update 4-digits are working great now. Thanks a lot, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you go to Videos shortcut in home? Do you see your nodes listed there? Also, see the comment of @@Angelblue05 that there has been a change in the way the collections are handled. There is a setting for that in the Emby server. Also it might be a good idea to look at your Kodi log file.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 No, the change will not be reverted. It was done so we can follow the rest of the emby apps. Next release will force reset the database to include some modifications for music, this should rectify the situation. I will make an announcement like it should have been done with the build containing the view changes. Then everyone will be on the same page.

jluce50 118 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I believe if you enable the option to play over HTTP rather than SMB it will effectively disable Cinema Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to disable it though. There are just times/circumstances when I'd rather not have the trailers play. Most times though, I do want them to play. I know aeon skin had this feature that worked with the cinema experience add-on. Just wondering if something similar can be done with cinema mode.

I'll take a look later this week as I'm currently occupied with some bugs in the skin Thanks. I know one way I can get past it in clients that show the chapter breaks on the detail screen, is I can just select chapter 2 and the movie plays directly. That is fine for 'testing' but obvioulsy not great when I want to watch the movie. So I wonder if there is a way to start the movie a few seconds in (instead of an entire chapter) and maybe that would bypass trailers? As an aside, is there any way to add the chapter breaks in kodi? I don't think I've seen a skin that supports them. In the add-on settings > playback > disable Emby cinema mode. This will disable Emby cinema mode for the Kodi profile. Otherwise you can just skip to the next video since it's a playlist. I know it can be disabled, but I don't want to do that. Sure you can just skip the trailers, but then that marks them as watched, and I don't necessarily want that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Does it really mark them as watched? I would think skipping ahead still leaves the played percentage as 0 for the item and emby should consider them unwatched. Seems like odd behavior that it would consider them as watched regardless of the playback position at which it was stopped at.

foghat 65 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I am going to have to double check. I have a lot of trailers that are marked as watched that I am certain I have not seen - I had assumed it was because of this. Maybe something else is going on. I know there are resume setting user can configure. Do you know if there is option that lets you set at what percentage to mark something as watched?

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yes, it is on your emby server dashboard > Playback > general > Max resume percentage. By default, it should be set to 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If they are streamed and therefore emby doesn't know the length then played percentage is not known so the item is marked as watched as soon as it's played 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Very true Vidman. If the server doesn't know the runtime, then it will indeed mark them as watched. Thank you! Hm, I'm not sure what we can do, but I'll think of a solution @@foghat - Maybe a toggle option for the add-on settings? Something you can easily map to your keyboard or remote control?

Got it. yes, i am at 90. If they are streamed and therefore emby doesn't know the length then played percentage is not known so the item is marked as watched as soon as it's played Mine would be streamed. That might be what is going on. Though it seems to me the osd will show the length of the trailer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are referring to the Kodi video OSD, then you are correct. Kodi knows the length of the trailer because it actually loads the video. Emby probably has no way of probing for that information beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would work. though might be a little difficult to map with my setup (android tv and roomie remote) Ideally though it is not something one has to remember if it is toggled on or off. Like I noted above, starting playback from chapter 2 (in clients taht support this) will bypass the trailers. So maybe there is something there that can be leveraged there? I wonder if starting movie a few seconds in (if this is even possible) would have the same effect? And maybe that could be mapped (within the skin) to a second play button? Any idea how this works in other kodi skins with cinema experience integration? Edited October 22, 2015 by foghat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Well first thing I'll check, is if it's possible for the server to get the runtime information somehow. If it can, that would solve the issue at the source and you'd be able to skip trailers without marking them as watched automatically. If not, then we'll have to come up with a different solution. I tried merging trailers with the main content as one item so you could use chapters, but it was not a great solution because you could not use a separate player for the main content. It is quite the dilemma. Edited October 22, 2015 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) @@foghat Doesn't look like trailers will be able to get that runtime information server side. What about an add-on option, if you enable it, it prompts you before starting playback asking if you want to play trailers? Yes - plays trailers, No - skips trailers completely?
