Playback failed on Kodi 19 with Emby-next-gen

[rbronco21 11]

I can usually restart Kodi, start a show or two, then each show after that gives me the Playback failed error. I have 2 FireTV Sticks doing this, but my Vero4K+ on Kodi 18 and the old Kodi for Emby works every time. My server runs on an unRAID docker and it believes it is up to date.

unRAID is giving me a bunch of these errors and I think they might be related, but I don't know enough to tell you how.

Mar 20 23:32:57 unRAID nginx: 2021/03/20 23:32:57 [error] 8796#8796: *47988 limiting requests, excess: 20.061 by zone "authlimit", client: 192.168.1.31, server: , request: "PROPFIND /login HTTP/2.0", host: "unraid"

Appreciate any help you can give, even if it's enough info to post a meaningful  request on the unRAID forum.

Can you please downgrade to stable version 5.1.7 and try again.

I know 5.2.01 has some login issues, I'm currently working on it.

[rbronco21 11]

I'm looking here for a zip to install and see 5.1.17. It looks like that is fairly new and I've had the issues since I upgraded, at least 3 or 4 weeks. The FireTV Sticks are my extra boxes so they're not critical. If a fix is on the way in  days or a week or so, I can wait. If not, I'd like to get it working sooner.

Yes, please try this version:

No change with this one.

[quickmic 1608]

ok, please send me a new log, but I think I know what causes the issue.

Can you please test with a stock kodi (only plugin -> emby-next gen) installation?

"raise Exception("UnknownRequest")" is usually triggered by an external plugin (query). If it works with stock Kodi, I can send you a debug version to monitor the Websocket calls.

btw, native mode will fix the issue, but I wanna tackle issue in addon mode.

Wiping Kodi and installing the version above seems to have worked. The only thing I had installed before was a skin, so maybe something has been lurking in my install for a while. Let me know if a log still be useful. Of course I'll post one if it crops up again. 

[quickmic 1608]

Well you had the NextAired plugin installed. Probably that's the reason for the invalid request. Can you try disable it?

I'll also install the nextaired plugin and see what's happening.

[rbronco21 11]

OK, my skin did install a bunch of prereqs... I have installed the skin on my fresh install and will see what happens. If it fails, I'll try disabling them. I don't use any next aired functionality so hopefully it doesn't affect my skin.

[rbronco21 11]

I don't have NextAired installed, but my skin, AZ2, may be looking for it. I'm getting the error again with only Emby and AZ2 (and its prereqs) installed. Wiped again to get a fresh log to compare.

Thanks, I'll review the logs and already found one issue.

http://127.0.0.1:57578/tvshows/9440/37490-3c2d1a66f4467f06f22f06ae79999c0b-6191120-stream-24.S01E01.mkvExtras/ is an invalid request.

I'll fix it in next version.

Please send me a link to your skin,

[rbronco21 11]

It's a Leia skin. I had to bump the version to load it. Here's the modded zip and the change I made to get it to load in Matrix.

3- edit the addon.xml file and change the line that has addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.14.0" to version="5.15.0"

[quickmic 1608]

Thanks,  I only found the Leia version .

I'll test the skin.

[rbronco21 11]

It's breaking without anything else added. I don't see how, but it seems to break when I add my advancedsettings.xml.

I just tested this skin. I cannot find the configurations link. Is there a trick to access Kodi system settings?

[rbronco21 11]

Don’t think so. I change the layout immediately but it seems like settings is just at the far right or bottom like other skins. Am I misunderstanding the question? I’m out of town for a week so I’ll help with whatever I can until I get home to get hands on again.
