Guest petwri Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Hello! I am having issues with Emby for Kodi properly announcing the play status of Audio files back to the server. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, the Kodi addon recognizes the playback start, with something like 14:55:24 T:140008394659584 NOTICE: Thread PAPlayer start, auto delete: false 14:55:24 T:140009952765696 NOTICE: EMBY Player -> onPlayBackStarted: musicdb://artists/159/622/7622.mp3?albumartistsonly=true&albumid=622&artistid=159 14:55:25 T:140008377874176 NOTICE: EMBY LibrarySync -> DB Version: 1.1.39 in Kodi's logfile. The emby server however does not see this notification at all, and therefore doesn't support Kodi remote control, and proper last.fm scrobbling from the server. Any help there? Is there anybody with a similar issue? EDIT: I haven't mentioned that everything works just fine with videos, TV shows and movie remote control works as fine as scrobbling to trakt.tv Edited October 19, 2015 by petwri
sigma 1 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I'm having the same issue. I've just switched to Emby so I assumed music playback reporting wasn't implemented yet. I can't get it to work with direct streaming on or off, can you give an example when it does work for you? I've checked my logs and also tried the latest github version, and there I stumbled on the following: 21:58:02 T:13540 NOTICE: EMBY Player -> logMsg : Could not find itemId, cancelling playback report... Also, the Kodi music database doesn't contain links to the plugin as with videos (plugin://plugin.video.emby/...) but direct paths to the songs (C:\...) or an URL of my emby server (depending on direct streaming yes or no). Is there a way to redirect music playback to the plugin as well?

Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Vidman is correct. I am working on the report back at the moment, but at this time it is not possible to have the same behavior as with videos because of Kodi limitations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Angelblue05 4132 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) We can't put in plugin paths in the database like we do for video content. This means your music is a set path, either direct or remote path. You can't go from direct play to direct streaming. I'm currently implementing the report playback for music which will be in the next beta build. It will come to stable eventually. Edited October 20, 2015 by Angelblue05

AFAIK, the current stable is 1.1.39, the current beta 1.1.50. Any info which stable / beta version will support this feature with an approximate ETA?
sigma 1 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the updates guys! The progression of the Kodi plugin is truly impressive!
