No the point of the locks is to protect any modification or reaction to global variables.  They are fine to use on non-problematic content because they are brief and have minimal impact on the speed the code runs at.  The only lock I worry about about is the scan 100MB of data while under lock.

I'll send you a test version for review via PM. Will take anyway couple of hours, you can check it tomorrow or whenever you like. Good night, for me it's in the morning... European timezone

Ok, I'll try to look at it tomorrow, but it maybe a challenging day.

But really just do the locks like I did.   Don't worry about the cases that don't overlap.  If done right the time the locks are held is so short it won't be noticeable using it in every call.  Again the only BIG one is the clean the cache search 100MB.  That might need a special case lock of its own or something.

Hi, I'm using, experimenting, with v21 Omega and I have a rather odd issue occurring.  Your plugin from about 9.x to 10.now works great all on it's own, no issues there.  The ODD issue that comes into play is with some settings that it reverts every time I restart Kodi.  I like Kodi to read tags for music files and for video files outside of Emby.  Whenever I close Kodi, these settings are reverted back to false every single time.  It's just this addon that's doing this but can't figure out why.  I even went into the "guisettings.xml" file in "C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata" and changed these values manually;

    <setting id="myvideos.usetags" default="true">false</setting>
    <setting id="myvideos.extractflags">false</setting>
    <setting id="myvideos.extractthumb">false</setting>
    <setting id="musicfiles.findremotethumbs">false</setting>
    <setting id="musicfiles.usetags">false</setting>

...by setting them all to true.  I open Kodi and the moment the Emby addon kicks in, these settings revert back to false.  I used "WinMerge" to note the moment the file changed and in what areas of the file.  I went through disabling all addons and the issue stopped.  I enabled just this addon, since its used the most, and the issue is back.  I've tried many versions from 9.x to 10.now, all while deleting its addon data as well, so with no settings at all.  The moment the addon starts after opening Kodi, it removes these settings first thing then prompts for the usual "use native" or "addon default" box.  I can't say if this occurs with 8.x and v21 because I couldn't get it to bring in movies, just tv shows.  I figured it's too old which is likely why.  I don't have this issue with v19 and 8.x.  Flawless setup there.  I think v9.4.15 is when movies and tv shows BOTH worked.  ...but then this current issue was the odd result.  Anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Because in addon mode the plugin sets those parameters:

 

        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"myvideos.extractflags","value":false}}', True)
        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"myvideos.extractthumb","value":false}}', True)
        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"myvideos.usetags","value":false}}', True)
        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"musicfiles.usetags","value":false}}', True)
        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"musicfiles.findremotethumbs","value":false}}', True)

iptv simple client

Kodi 20: 20.13.0

Kodi 21: 21.8.3

And no configuration/default, the plugin does that when livetv was synced.

But your question confuses me. Do you know live tv works via plugin?

If you try something different, it's not up to the plugin.

Awesome and thanks for the fast reply!  Where in the files for this addon can I go to remove these lines please?

        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"myvideos.extractflags","value":false}}', True)
        SendJson('{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "id":1, "method":"Settings.SetSettingValue", "params": {"setting":"myvideos.extractthumb","value":false}}', True)

But the lines are not just there to annoy you 

There is a reason why I disable them in addon mode. If you experience issues with this settings, you are on your own.

I have installed iptv simple client and emby for kodi next gen (the 3 plugins), but Live TV does not work. I don't know if I have to have something else installed.

When I log into TV on Kodi, I see the following message (attached).

The plugin does that when you synced liveTV.

It's the playlist for iptvsimple

Please send me a kodi.log in debug mode (via PM).

I'm looking for a solution for media theme updates. Would it be possible to update media theme with a cron or task manager if this would be possible ?
