CharleyVarrick 277 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Once installed, it showed a prompt that a bunch of addons were incompatible and were removed, sure enough Emby and Emby for Kodi were in the list. It displays my stuff, but nothing plays. I like to keep my programs updated, but I guess I'll need to downgrade back to 18.8 and come back here once in a while until Emby and Kodi are friends again.

CharleyVarrick 277 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) When Kodi v20 comes out, will I be using Emby DS9 ? Edited February 21, 2021 by jlr19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyVarrick 277 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Me again, I just noticed a minor issue, not sure if it relates or not to the recent Kodi update. 1st pic= In Emby web I see all my libraries, including Home Videos & Photos. 2nd pic= In Kodi all I see that relates to the above is Pictures, but its empty Is this normal ? 3rd pic = In Kodi, If I go in add-ons, select Emby-next-gen, Home Videos & Photos is there and accessible, but I would prefer it shows up from main page, as movies, tv and music do. Kodi offering Pictures but nothing to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1344 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Native pictures support in main menu for Kodi is only supported in custom Skins or via addon query. So this seems alright. Was it different in the past (with 4.x versions?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you make me question myself, but I really thought for sure Pictures library was offered and functional straight from Kodi homescreen in v18.

quickmic 1344 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yes but as I recall, it just offered you a link to the picture addons -> I guess it was emby-pictures. Not sure about that, cause I always replaced the picture selection link on home screen with a node link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the settings menu from within the add-on gone (where movies, tv-shows, manage libraries, reset database et cetera were shown) gone? Also, I tried resetting my database from within the options menu but it doesn’t do anything? I’m having some issues but nothing I can do for now.

quickmic 1344 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Settins menu -> It's there in the options menu. You can also access it from plugin "configuration". It's exactly the same. "resetting my database" could take quite long if you have lot's of cached artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it in the configuration menu but it doesn’t do anything. Never mind, guess it just fixed itself. Was sort of corrupted maybe. edit: for future reference: reinstalling emby next gen fixed the problem.

CharleyVarrick 277 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I use Kodi on 2 win10 machines, last week was my workhorse pc, this morning is the htpc's turn. Everytime I turn my back, the lengthy scan that follows database reset seem to stop and die EDIT: HDMI CEC was monkeying around, even though its supposed to be disabled. Just for my understanding, the tons of data that's presently added back in Kodi hopefully comes from my own server running Emby, and not from carpet bombing the data providers (?)

quickmic 1344 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I assume you mean Kodi 19? Kodi 20 is alpha emby plugin 4.1.22 no longer works with Kodi 19. Please switch to emby-next-gen from beta repository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your quick response @quickmic Hi Sorry for the confusion Yes I meant ver 19 and it did not work hence i reverted back to 18.9 to make the plugin work. Kodi 19 and emby next gen seamed to me as half baked solutions. I stil;l need to fix The emby server login screen when it shows mutiple choiice of emby server login options. is ther a way to clean and edit this screen to show only one emby server?

quickmic 1344 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) The login screen should be exactly the same as in Kodi 18 and 4.1.22 plugin. Still not sure what's the issue. You can use manual mode, emby connect or select the server via list. Is something not working? Edited March 2, 2021 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi again thank you for responding so quickly. when you install the emby plugin on kodi you get a popup sccreen that request you to login to a server . On my screen i get 10 emby server choices. this is not correct obviously. If i select one of these server to connct to i get server not reachable and i need to do this for all 10 servers. The problem i see is that when i select a server and i get the ereror message, this server does not remain in its original position it shifht down the list. hence because of my lack of patience I insert a server manually. This server is then displaued at the top of the list and when selecting that server and all wourks well. The issue is that it just added an additional server to the list How do i clean this screen to show only one server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1344 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So the server list is wrong? The server information comes via network (I've to check, but I think it's UPNP). I never seen that before, can you please upload a kodi.log file. Best practice to migration from Kodi 18 to 19 is a clean installation, but sure it should also work on the fly.

Thank you once again I do not think this is an issue with KODI i beleive this is the plugin. I do not know if the kodi log will cover the plugin. I will try to runthis tomorrow morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrndahouse 0 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 This maybe a newbie question but coming from Kodi, I have abandoned it as a media server and looking to pay out some well deserved cash for Premiere. Why still use Kodi? Am I missing something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really comes down to personal preference and which app you prefer to use to connect to your Emby Server with. The Kodi add-on is meant to provide another option for those that prefer that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
