Completed Emby add-on - Movies Shortcut / View listed twice

[cw-kid 192]

Hi

 

Was just looking in the Emby add-on and I noticed that Movies is listed twice for some reason. If I click in to each of these they both appear to be the same thing. 

 

 

Also since the Emby add-on was removed from the Kodi Programs area, how are you meant to launch the add-on ? If you need to get in to it, to do something like a manual sync or whatever. 

 

I have been going in to Settings - Add-ons - My Add-ons - All - then clicking on Emby in the list and then finally selecting the Launch button. 

 

Cheers

Not sure on the first thing - but the second Video->Video Addons->Emby

Great that's much easier LOL.

Hm, I'm not sure how the first one is happening....  can you run the refresh playlist/video nodes task via launching the emby add-on? Let me know if it helps.

I get this when I have multiple libraries that are in a combined movie view.  If I remove the library or change the display settings so that they are not combined it does not happen

Did this, it ran very quickly and has not seemed to have made any difference there are still two movie entries. 

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Are you referring to these settings ?

 

[xnappo 1611]

Yeah, so that is just an artifact of the way you have it set up.  If you had:

 

Classic Movies

Adult Movies

 

And had them both checked in 'My Views'

 

You would get:

 

Movies

Classic Movies

Adult Movies

 

Movies would contain both Classic and Adult movies.

 

Since you just have one entry, and it happens to have the same same, it ends up being redundant.

 

Shouldn't hurt anything though - you can select either when building your menus.

Movies

Hi

 

So I should uncheck Movies in the settings in that screen shot. 

 

I don't really understand these settings, but I know if I have Kids Movies checked it would group Kids Movies and Movies together in one view in the Emby web GUI. 

I wanted them to be separate so I uncheck Kids Movies etc. 

 

Same with TV and Kids TV I wanted them to be separate.

Just leave it as is and ignore the duplicate entry.  You don't actually use that menu for anything other that setting up skin shortcuts right?

That's correct.

This problem was an issue before but was fixed: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/29155-problem-with-emby-nodes/

 

The duplicate does throw off my home screen because I am using marceveldt's Skin Helper with Skin Shortcuts to auto generate an entry for each node.  For example, I have the following in my mainmenu.DATA.xml:

<shortcut>
	<defaultID>info-window-home-property-emby-nodes-0-title</defaultID>
	<label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.0.title)]</label>
	<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.0.content)]</label2>
	<icon>special://skin/extras/icons/emby.png</icon>
	<thumb>special://skin/extras/icons/emby.png</thumb>
	<action>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.0.path)]</action>
</shortcut>
<shortcut>
	<defaultID>info-window-home-property-emby-nodes-1-title</defaultID>
	<label>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.1.title)]</label>
	<label2>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.1.content)]</label2>
	<icon>special://skin/extras/icons/emby.png</icon>
	<thumb>special://skin/extras/icons/emby.png</thumb>
	<action>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(emby.nodes.1.path)]</action>
</shortcut>
...

This creates two movie entries and then I have to remove one manually.  It would be nice to not to have to delete the duplicate.

 

Another thing that is odd is that I no longer have entry points in Kodi for the libraries that are combined.  For example I have the following libraries:

 

Movies

My Movies

 

Both "Movies" and "My Movies" are checked in the web for my views.  When I go into Kodi I have the following:

 

Movies

Movies (duplicate)

I'll look to replicate and fix this

 

@@inzombyac if you don't have a similar setup as cw-kid do you mind also grabbing a screenshot of your views, so I can try and fix this? Thanks

This should be fixed in the beta version 2.2.2. If you can try it out to confirm, great, otherwise wait until I make a new stable release Monday (if everything goes well). Thanks for reporting!

[inzombyac 69]

Thanks that fixed the duplicate and I have the sub-nodes back

[cw-kid 192]

Hi

 

Just installed version 2.2.2 it offered it as an update in Kodi. 

 

Initially when looking in the Emby Video add-on, all the folders were missing, however shortly after (initial sync?) they then all appeared again and Movies is only listed once now.

 

 

Thanks
