So I seem to be crying wolf here.

Well, I need a pattern how to trigger the issue. All I can do is play an episode and check the TVShow order. Here it's correct so must be something specific.

Seems I was going in the wrong place. I was just going into TV Shows, seeing In Progress TV Shows and selecting from there. I did not go through the plugin and manually selecting it like you've stated. Since I'm using Arctic Fuse 2, I'll have to ask them about that, as it shows correctly in the way you've stated. This is the same for my other problem (just using the skin's feature for Movies or TV and not going into the plugin), looking at the plugin (via the way you showed), it works as intended. Using the default Movies/TV Shows option in the skin, does doesn't always update. I'll take to them about it. Thank you for your help and your time and sorry to waste it.

Already there but only for Emby server 4.9X (4.8X not tested).

https://kodi.emby.tv/Public testing/emby-for-kodi-next-gen-12X (Kodi 22, Emby server 4.9.X)/

Thanks. I will look into moving to 4.9x beta

[LongMan 112]

Before I upgrade, can someone say if the smart playlist plugin works with 4.9 beta?

You can try it with stable too. In the other thread was reported, it's working.

If you update to beta, there is no rollback unless you have a full backup.

The plugin's custom nodes have the prefix "EMBY:" so should be easy to find when you customize your skin. Don't modify a sortorder when you add the custom nodes, this would overwrite the nodes order.

It works partially. Movies and tv shows works but not music videos. They don't sync

I check that. Which server version? I tested with 4.9.X and works here. Can you please upload a kodi.log after musicvideo sync.

Transcoding might not work when plugin's path substitution is enabled. Seems Kodi with newer ffmpeg version no longer respects the mime-type/file extension for hls with the path-substitution hack.

Hello
Thank you for your work.
In Emby, I take into account the articles (the, a,le,la un,une ) when sorting my movies and series. How do I configure EmbyforKodi (next-gen) so that this is taken into account in Kodi? Currently, this is not the case.
Emby 4.8.11
EmbyforKodi (next-gen) 11.1.27
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for the English, I'm using Google Translate.

The sort title on Emby must be correct, is this the case?

That's the problem. "titre de tri" is used as sort order. You must fix it on Emby side. -> "Les Quatre Saisons" should be "Quatre Saisons"

[polo2907 2]

it's not possible to use "les" ?

because I prefer "Les quatre saisons" to be referenced with "les" rather than with "quatre"

I don't know if I'm expressing myself correctly.
In any case, thank you for these very quick responses.

"les" will be visible in the view list. Remove the "les" ONLY in "titre de tri". That's the sort order, the title is still "Les quatre saisons".

Simply try it.

If I delete "the" or "les"
this is what I have in emby

Looks ok, now Kodi should be fine too.

"Les Quatre Saisons" is now sorted alphabetically by "Q" and no longer by "L".

[polo2907 2]

But I prefer it this way
and whether it's one way or the other, nothing changes in codi

Oh, you want the article as sort order? Sorry, I misunderstood you. Then re-add the article. Not sure why Kodi does not respect that, it should.

[polo2907 2]

Yes, that's exactly it.
I want the sorting to be done by "L" and no longer by "Q."
I know how to do it in Emby, but I can't do it in Kodi.
Perhaps there's a setting in Emby for Kodi (next-gen) 11.1.27
or in Kodi?

[FrostByte 5392]

Is this what you're looking for?  I think the default is on.

https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/General#Ignore_articles_when_sorting

 

You can add more articles in advanced settings file also

 

[polo2907 2]

Thank you so much, I've been looking for this for so long.
It was actually the second line that needed to be unchecked  "Ignore articles when sorting"
Thank you both  @quickmic  @FrostByte

Greetings! I am in need of some tech support!

The problem I am experiencing is videos will play fine from my emby server for about 20-30 minutes. Then, the stream will just stall and eventually I get kicked back to the Kodi menu. I can restart the video fine from there, and then, 20-30 minutes later, it just happens again. Rinse, recycle, repeat. 

I've troubleshooted so many different solutions. I'm quite certain it is not a network issue as I've tested playback on non Kodi-devices without any issues. I'm really at my wits end. I have attached my kodi log in the hopes that it is helpful in identifying what is going on. The most I can see is that at some point there does appear to be a "stream stalled" error, but I just don't know what to do with this. Any help is much appreciated.

Sounds your EMby server is busy/overloaded and I can see the server was scanning when the stream stalled.

Increasing Kodi's video cache will also help.
