Upgrade to 4.8 server made older client and media_cleaner stop working

[djon 16]

After upgrading to 4.8.7, media_cleaner.py no longer works. It just says there are no watched items. 

Also I have an older Kodi 18 client with Embicon where I now have to re-enter the user/password every time I want to log on to Emby. 

I have a new Kodi client as well that works fine. 

Did 4.8 change some login/user/api stuff that could have caused these issues?

Hi, yea it’s possible those things need adjustment. Are you able to update Emby for kodi?

Yes as changes removing LAN passthru and changing user PIN access.

I need to look into it, as my Odroid C2 can't get a newer version of coreelec/Kodi. 

Do you know of other working scripts than media_cleaner.py that can remove and delete watched items?

Think this one does the same thing

Looks like there is a forked repo for media_cleaner

I got it sorted now. Uninstalled Embycon and used Emby for Kodi instead. And found "MUMC", a fork of media_cleaner that is still supported.
