Yes, and there is nothing wrong with. It sounded like you think that's an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalcoooo 2 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Running Kodi 19 on Win 10. Using the latest Emby Server on a networked machine also running windows. I have a weird problem using both versions, 5205, and 5206. If I update the library, or repair the library It adds a new media source to select from. I used to be able to to just click the episode I wanted to watch, but I am presented with a new screen where it asks me to select a media source. I only have one copy of each episode, so I am not sure whats up. Chances are its something I have done wrong, but I cant figure it out. I also tried removing all video sources and re adding them, and then I am still presented with two options. Then an update will add three and so on. All of these sources are pointing to the same single episode. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1308 Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Some other users reported that as well, but they could never provide me with a test case. Are you saying, this happens on update or repair library? Is this reproducible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaukeZwart 94 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I have a suspicion it happens sometimes afther a db repair. A local db reset doesn't seem. To cause this. But again it's a suspicion based on my findings. Unfortunately it doesn't happen every time when doing a repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalcoooo 2 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Its a very strange problem. Is it reproducible, yes, in a way. Right after I read your message, I manually updated my library, and went back to the show. It did not prompt me to choose a media source. I then closed Kodi, opened it back up and then I had two sources to choose from. I did a repair, and I had three sources, I did another repair, and I had four sources. I did yet another repair, and I was back to two sources. *Shrugs* The show plays fine no matter what source I use. I initially noticed this after manually updating my library, but now that I see it being fine and then two sources after the restart, I am not convinced an update is doing this. A repair is definitely doing this though. I also want to add that while the Killing Eve was not prompting me that one time, other shows were still showing up to four nine sources. Its very random.

Let me know if there are still issues. btw, don't use beta on Kodi 18, use experimental version. Quote skin reloads on startup. Any plans to work around this? No, cause I found no alternative yet to refresh the artwork without reloading the skin. Does it break a functionality you are using?

Is it a music library? Yes, it is a music library. Is there a better way to organise internet radio streams in Emby? I made some progress: I simply organized the STRM-files as if they are tracks in an "virtual" album. This alone did not change anything. I then edited those tracks with Emby's metadata-editor. After some fiddling around this lead to NFO-files being generated in those virtual album folders. I also gave all tracks a common unique "genre" (internet-radio). I don't know what did the trick, but somehow now the STRM-files are usable within Kodi (however a bit awkward, navigating along the virtual album structure).

Nosepull 13 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Another point: I noticed that the plugin seems to lose connection to the Emby server if that is not reachable. The plugin then has to be restarted to reconnect, For example, I have Kodi and Emby on the same machine and usually Kodi is up and running marginally faster than Emby. OK, here you can add startup delay for the plugin or better systemd-dependencies. Or after other restarts of Emby (plugin install, update, etc.) the connection seems not to recover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it break a functionality you are using? Thanks quickmic. No functionality break, but from a usability/presentation standpoint, we have artwork that’s loaded as soon as Kodi is loaded... it then reloads the skin in a jarring way. So on load I would just wait until the skin was reloaded before doing anything. Now that sleep is fixed, I’ll wait until it’s in the main release and give next-gen another try. I’ve gone back to v18 and older version of Emby for Kodi shortly after v18 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
