@weybmaybe try running a sync from Emby for Kodi?

[quickmic 1703]

Did you also Kodi companion on Emby server? Removed content should be removed from Kodi too.

Probably I would trigger a factory reset in the e4k next gen plugin if it's completely out of sync or at least a repair sync.

Which versions are you running? Emby server and plugin?

Hi,

 

I clicked on "emby-next-gen > parameters > sync > reinitialize local database"

and now i don't any movie neither serie on kodi : how long do i have to wait until they appear back please ?

my emby-next-gen version is 10.0.2 (i don't have any newer version on screen)

my emby-server version is Version 4.7.14.0

so as it told me i should install the 4.8.11.0, i tried to install it, but i couldn't (i launched the manual installation, selected the emby-server-synology7_4.8.11.0_armv7.spk file as i have a DS414j NAS, but DSM told me that it's not compatible)

so i restarted emby-server 4.7.14.0-704071400 (DSM tells me it's the latest version)

nothing happens in kodi, so I wanted to check the connection to emby-server, but i couldn't find it in the parameters

regards

I would just start with updating to 4.8.8 which you can do in Synology Package Center without having to manually download the spk.

What model? Is DSM up to date?

[weyb 25]

Hi,

 

i have a DS414j (old one) & DSM tells me that it's up to date

[weyb 25]

huh...

as i saw on the screenshot that it was written "DS 414", i tried to install the DS414 package - and not DS414j package - and it worked !!!

i really don't understand as i was absolutely SURE that i had a DS414j (as it was cheaper than a DS414 at the time) !!!!

like we say in french, i was so sure that i would have given my hand to be cut...

so, sorry...

and now i have emby-server v4.8.11.0 installed

so now, how can i check the connection from emby-next-gen to emby-server please ?

Regards

[quickmic 1703]

update emby-next-gen to latest stable or beta (11.X) and try it out.

[weyb 25]

Hello,

I checked & saw that I had 2 versions installed, 10.xxx and 11.xxxx

so i deactivated the v10.xxx one, I added manually the @ip of emby-server, added a user, added all "mediatheques" and now I'm waiting...

[quickmic 1703]

Maybe you should clean your Kodi installation. 2 versions should never be installed and disable versions might still cause issues.

[weyb 25]

Hi !

ok i uninstalled emby-next-gen v10.xxx and now i have this message : " kodi companion addon not installed on emby-server !"

so i think i have to do it ? how do i do that please ? on the NAS package center ?

regards

[quickmic 1703]

It's an Emby server plugin

[weyb 25]

Hi,

sorry for the delay, i had many problems with my pc & i had to change my pc...

as emby server is installed on the NAS as a package, is kodi companion also a synology package ?

regards

No that's it. You can customize your skin if you want, but the basic setup is complete.
