Logos302 86 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 For some reason in the new version (not at home so I don't have the exact info) My anime collection has shown up in my tv collection. I do not want this. In the web client/Emby Clasic this used to happen if you have the "My Views* Automatically group content from the following folders into views such as Movies, Music and TV:" So I'm sure that it's just a setting that got reset when I reset the DB for this last update. Does kodi not respect these settings?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 If it's own entry in Emby - not combined with your shows, then it should also be split also in Kodi. If you launch the emby add-on, what do you see in the list, there should be an entry for each emby userview?
Dizzy49 99 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I haven't set up my Anime in Emby yet. Plex was HORRIBLE with my anime collection, and the main reason I bailed on it. I'm kind of nervous to see how Emby handles it.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I will tell you right now, Emby anime is a nightmare if you use absolute numbering. If you are using TVDB numbering then you should have a good experience.
Logos302 86 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) It's in it's own folder, and in it's own view. This is something new. It never used to do this. I think it happened when I reset the DB for the new upgrade. If I understand you correctly, if I launch emby add-on from kodi add-ons I get a list Anime - Movies Movies Tv Shows Anime - Tv Shows Channels Fav.. Shows Fav.. Movies Settings Perform Manual Snc.

Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ok, and your anime - tv shows is empty or?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 The change happened server side. Because your anime is not enabled under view styles, we don't know what the content type is. So it automatically assumes it is mixed folder and processes movies/tv shows. Your content should still appear under anime - tv shows, without being mixed in with the rest of your tv shows. I hope this makes sense. If you want to revert back to the old behavior, just enable view style in the emby webclient preferences and resync your library.
Logos302 86 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Ok, and your anime - tv shows is empty or? It has my Anime like it should. The change happened server side.

Your content should still appear under anime - tv shows, without being mixed in with the rest of your tv shows. I hope this makes sense. If you want to revert back to the old behavior, just enable view style in the emby webclient preferences and resync your library. I don't know about that as the web client shows it how it should be, as does Emby Theater. my anime is however set as mixed content. So I'm not sure what you mean by this. "view style in the emby webclient" if your talk about "View Styles* Enable enhanced presentations for:" then they are enabled already. Edited September 17, 2015 by Logos302 1
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Ok so do a shortcut to your home menu for Anime - TV Shows. If you want to have just "Anime" like it was before, then enable the View style in emby webclient preferences (your user portrait on the right > settings > display settings). It is not enabled for your anime, otherwise it would show as Anime only, not Anime - TV Shows and Anime - Movies. Then do a reset - resync of your Kodi library. If you don't want to have your anime show up in tv shows then, use the emby shortcut to your tv shows rather than Kodi's TV show entry (which combines anything that falls under the tvshows type) Edited September 17, 2015 by Angelblue05
Logos302 86 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) ok so I was in the right location how ever anime does not show up as an option. What should I have my anime content type set as? edit - ok I think I figure out what I should do. I need to set anime as TV which it is and then it shows up the view styles. Now here's hoping it will return to normal. One question how does one resync the library? Edited September 17, 2015 by Logos302
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 They should be set as TV Shows in the library section which I'm sure they are.... However the view style, if disabled, does not tell us the content type anymore so we don't see that they are TV Shows, hence why they become treated as mixed content. :/ Can you take a screenshot of your library section in Emby for your Anime (in the dashboard > library), and of your view styles? This should give me a good idea of how to really help because all I'm doing at this point is guessing.
Logos302 86 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 they were not set as a tv show they were mixed content. So I reset the library for anime and now they show up. 1
Logos302 86 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) ok, I even reset the Kodi DB and my anime still shows up so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. * how do I change this so it is not the kodi tv but the emby tv, I'm using Arctic Zephyr: Exploded theme. Edited September 30, 2015 by Logos302
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Your set up looks fine. What was the issue again, you said your anime shows up.
Logos302 86 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 My anime tv show up in my tv shows in kodi. Now it has to be something that kodi's doing as no other client does this.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 As a quick test, can you launch Emby for Kodi, let me know if you see your anime separated from your tv shows. If so, you just need to set the proper shortcut to your home screen, as you might be looking at Kodi's default shortcut to TV Shows (which shows every tvshow type grouped up together.) 1
Logos302 86 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I never changed it so I'm sure it's the kodi default. But the next time I get a second I'll check, but I'm pretty sure that I see anime tv and anime movies if I remember correctly. double checked it's just Anime. Edited September 30, 2015 by Logos302
Angelblue05 4132 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Ok that's good. So then simply point one shortcut to your anime, and replace the Kodi tv show with your Emby tv show entry.
Logos302 86 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 yeah. Once I figured that I could change the shortcut I fixed it. thank you for sending me in the right direction. 1
