I think it adds it as TVShow. Can you please check on the server.

I got the terminology wrong when I referred to it as a "live TV channel". The YouTube plugin adds content as an "Internet channel". Emby does seem to consider the content to be a TV show.

I should have said "Emby does seem to consider the content to be live TV." When I play a YouTube video using the plugin the interface is the same as it is when streaming live TV, including options to view the TvGuide.

I think I know. Even live TV has a flag for TV shows or movies content. I assume YouTube works the same way, but has no valid TV show parent.

Hi, i have my kodi setup to auto play live tv on startup not from emby livetv but from my tvheadend server via pvr addon. The problem is that the embyforkodi service is not starting because is waiting for kodi’s homescreen and this will not happen until i stop livetv playback.

while not xbmc.getCondVisibility('Window.IsActive(10000)'):
utils.sleep(1)

Can we change with something like this?

while not (xbmc.getCondVisibility('Window.IsActive(10000)') or xbmc.Player().isPlaying() or xbmc.getCondVisibility('Player.HasMedia')):
        utils.sleep(1)

Thank you.

Updated to this version earlier tonight. I was able to add youtube channel content as a library after doing so. So that is a win! Playback of said content was problematic though. I think that has more to do with the configuration of the Kodi YouTube plugin that I was a asked to install when I tried to play a YouTube video using E4K. I'll do some more testing and post back with results.

[DarWun 382]

@quickmicTurns out I am still seeing an issue with E4K playback not being reported to Emby after playing a previous episode. I thought it was a side effect of YouTube content scans not completing. But now that that issue has been fixed, I'm not so sure that was the issue. I watched E1 of Vision Quest earlier tonight. After it ended and I deleted it from my server, I started watching E2. It played fine in E4K. But Emby did not register it as playing. I had to reboot the E4K client (Rpi4 LibreElec) to get Emby to register playback. Kodi and Emby logs attached.

ok, the log looks clean, but not sure what causes the issue. Probably you can enable the debug log in the plugin menu and send me another sample when it happens again.

Meanwhile I try to find the issue.

How did you delete the episode? Via plugin's option (delete after watched) or on the server?

I think I found the issue, if you use delete after watched from plugin.

[Beber2410 8]

Hello, 

I confirm the same problem here after update 12.5.0.

At the end of movie or tv show the emby Next Gen addon purpose to delete as usual the file is well deleted but still appears in kodi, until i restart kodi. (rpi5 libreelec) 

Thanks a lot Quickmic for your efforts

I didn't see anything that looked odd in the logs either. Thanks for confirming. I'll enable debug in the plugin menu and provide logs if it happens again. It's happened a few times this week.

I did delete the episode via the plugin's option. I have E4K set to ask before deleting though. The query asking if I wanted to delete the episode appeared, and I selected yes.

That was quick! I'll provide the logs anyway if it happens again just in case there is something else going on.

It doesn't seem to happen every time. I just finished watching Vision Quest E2. After deleting it using the E4K plugin option, I started playing E3. Emby reported playback as expected.

I've attached the log with debug logging enabled. I realize it doesn't capture a failed playback. But I thought there might be something useful in there anyway.

It just happened again. I watched the latest episode of Survivor that I recorded last night. I deleted it when E4K offered me the option to do so. I then attempted to play the latest episode of The Amazing Race. E4K played the episode fine. But Emby did not recognize the episode as being played. Logs (with debug option enabled) attached.

P.S. The Kodi log I provided last night when I first encountered this issue was from after I rebooted the Kodi client. So the issue would not have been captured by that log. It would have been captured by the kodi.old.log, which unfortunately, I did not provide. Sorry about that. The log provided in this post is from when the issue actually occurred prior to the reboot of the client.

P.P.S. Rebooted the E4K client and the Amazing Race episode played to Emby as expected.

And now, finished the latest Amazing Race episode, deleted, and played the latest Celebrity Traitors episode. E4K played the episode fine, but Emby did not register it as playing until the Kodi client was rebooted.

Thanks, I checked the log and I can confirm. It's the issue I expected, it's a deadlock in the position tracker.

...only when delete after watched option is enabled.

Will be fixed in next version.

Is this worth if i have thousands of files in several libraries? It gets stuck at 10% then kodi reboots and it goes through everything again just to be stuck at 10%. I dont even know how to stop this.

I need a kodi log for review, and yes. Thousands of files is no problem, even 1 million will work 

Sounds more like a sync issue.

Does the same thing with my large music library.  I ended up just scanning my music in using Kodi and then using E4K for the rest.

I think I had to remove the service plugin to make it stop as just removing my music library didn't do a thing and it just retried to add music after rebooting every time.

Also here, I need a log for review, thanks.
