marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, I have seen that at the moment the plugin for Kodi changes the database of Kodi (so it needs a refresh...) I have seen that it is a new feature of the version 1 (of the plugin) so I guess that it was not the case for the old version. Personally I would prefer to have Kodi follow my directories instead of merging all my videos (at the moment the series, films... are in the media section). Is the old version of the plugin able to work by keeping the directories (so there is no need to alter the database as it is working perfecty with DLNA)? And if yes, where can it be downloaded? I find it more useful to keep my structure like in DLNA or the Android application (for example) than have everything merged. Thank you Marc
Angelblue05 4132 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I am confused by what you are saying. Just point your home menu items to the video nodes created by Emby for Kodi (Just launch Emby for Kodi and you'll see what I'm referring to) . See? If your skin only works with playlist, then create a smart playlist pointing to tags is x(browse to see the list available). Hope this helps.... Edited June 19, 2015 by Angelblue05
marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, Thank you for the answer.I explained myself wrongly and I am sorry for it. Here is a better explanation. I have two media libraries. The first one is TV show. There are subdirectories (so for example) SERIE1 Season 1 Episodes ... The second media library is only Films So For exampleDVD Movie Movie1 (directory) Movie1 (real file) Movie2 (directory) Movie2 (real file) HD Movies Movie3 (directory) Movie3 (File) Movie4 (directory) Movie4 (file) Movie5 (file) if there are two movies (the first one then the next one...) ... When I am on Kodi, I can see the same screen as you (Kodi is in the default values). If I click on the Series (or anime...) I can see my directory structure (so I have Serie1, and Serie 2). If I click on Serie 1, I can choose the season... (it is perfect). When I click on Films, I will only see Movie1, Movie2, Movie3, Movie4, Movie5... (I won't see the directories DVD movies and HD Movie, all the movies are together) By DLNA the problem is not there. Thank you again for your time. Marc
Angelblue05 4132 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah that's not normal.... If they are split in your webclient, they should be split in Kodi too. That's how it is in your web client right? You ungrouped the auto grouping right?
marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Hello, Yes, they are split (like I want). The problem is that when I go inside a category (so when you go inside Movies) you will see Movie1 Movie2 Movie3 Movie4 Movie5 and so on (all the movies are directly inside Movies and not in the correct forlder inside Movies). I would like to see (as I made the flders in the library) DVD Movies HD Movies And when I go in DVD Movies then I want to see Movie1 (directory) Movie2 (directory) And if I go in HD Movies Movie3 (directory) Movie 4 ((directory) And in Movie3 I see the file Movie3 And in Movie4 I see the files Movie4 and Movie5 I have attached a print screen of Emby and one of Kodi so you can see what I mean EDIT : In the print screen you see that there is no mention of DVD or HD directories. Thank you again Marc Edited June 19, 2015 by marc_al 1
marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, thank you for your answer. I don't want to see the sections separately in the main menu (I can see them under Video, it is good for me). The problem is that the content of all the subdirectories of one section is merged completely in the section. Here is a print screen of my Kodi when I choose the categorie Video (with Emby) With Titan the problem is the same (I can see Series the two categories in the main menu instead of having to go in Videos (but Kodi can go in Video immediately so it is not interesting for me). Marc
Angelblue05 4132 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) That looks to me like the regular Kodi movies node.... Can you actually launch Emby add-on and from there, go in the Movie view? Is it different? Just to make sure Because the video node created by Kodi merges all the movies together. Edited June 19, 2015 by Angelblue05
marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, Here is how I go in my Videos : Video \ Addon \ Kodi \Movies \ Movies (a second times) gives all the movies together (all directories are lost). When I go to Movies directly I have all my movies directly (I guess that it is a shortcut). I can do printscreens in all the steps if you want? Thank you Marc
Angelblue05 4132 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Ok, I think I understand your setup. Are the folders in your webclient screenshot, collections?
marc_al 5 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Hello, Yes they are in the post #5 (one in the web client gui) and one in the Kodi plugin. Directly in movies there are two directories (HD and DVD) but in the Kodi interface there are no directories. 1
