Can't access Emby subdirectories in Kodi anymore

[horstepipe 422]

Hey

I don't know if this is a Kodi skin shortcuts addon, Emby for Kodi or Emby server related problem, but I can't specify Emby library sub-menu items anymore for my (aeon nox silvo) main menu.

So normally I could choose

Emby -> movies -> last added movies

and set this as a menu item in aeon nox menu editor.

Now I can only set

Emby -> movies

so the sub entries are missing.

 

I hope you understand what I'm talking about.

 

I had this problem once before, someday later it worked again. So I have no idea whether an Emby for Kodi or a skin shortcuts update (or something else?) made the difference.

 

I'm running current Emby for Kodi beta on Kodi 16.1.

Any idea about this?

 

My current workaround for this problem is saving the submenus as favorites and copying the links out of the favourites.xml in the respecting addon_data/script.skinshortcuts/ xml files.

I have the same issue. The fix for me was to go back to the latest non beta version.

Thanks for confirming, but unfortunately I'm reliant on some features of the beta.

 

Best regards

The latest non beta of Emby for Kodi? Let me know @@sleepy perhaps there's a bug that was introduced in beta. Thanks.

The beta version 2.3.24 has the issues that the OP mentioned. I reverted back to 2.3.6 which is working fine.

hey

my initial problem is fixed but now I have a new similar one:

 

I loved the widget recently added tv shows, because it lists up the shows where new episodes were added recently. In contrast to the widget recently added episodes this is way more clear.

Unfortunately I can't choose it anymore, the option is gone :-/

I can still choose it as a submenu item, but not as a widget.

I would suspect this is a skin issue?

[Angelblue05 4132]

Will look into it to determine if its a skin issue or something with the addon. Thanks for reporting.

ok I can add it when I go to addons -> video addons -> Emby, here the submenus are listed.

 

BUT something goes very wrong here when I open a tv show from the widget (see screenshot)

[horstepipe 422]

Also , when adding "addon -> video addon -> Emby -> Movies -> Movies"

it looks like a wrong shortcut is being created, pointing to music library instead of video library:

 

[horstepipe 422]

so I guess in both cases Kodi creates shortcuts to music libraries instead of video libraries? I can't check it up for the widgets because I don't know which file stores the widget information.

Sorry for three posts, can't manage to go on writing under a picture :-)

As I said, for menus/submenus I can workaround it by saving the desired paths as favorites and paste them in the skin shortcuts xml. But I can't figure out how this method would work for widgets.

@@Angelblue05

are you able to reproduce the issue?

[Angelblue05 4132]

Yes I can reproduce the issue as far as linking to the sub menus via Video Library. The music thing is a known issue that's not fixable as far as I'm aware. I don't know why Kodi defaults to music when the xml clearly states the content is not music.

 

Example:

<node order="2" type="filter">
  <match>all</match>
  <rule field="tag" operator="is">
    <value>Movies</value>
  </rule>
  <label>Recently Added Movies</label>
  <icon>special://home/addons/plugin.video.emby/icon.png</icon>
  <content>movies</content>
  <order direction="descending">dateadded</order>
  <limit>25</limit>
  <rule field="playcount" operator="is">
    <value>0</value>
  </rule>
</node>

Hmm ok but in earlier versions it worked for me...? (Or maybe I'm mixing something up).

Is there a workaround so I can use the last added tv show widget? (Something like I workedaround it for the submenu?)

I was blind, found it:

 

in

addon_data\script.skinshortcuts\skin.aeon.nox.silvo.properties

replace

 ['mainmenu', 'tvshows', 'widgetTarget', u'music']

with

 ['mainmenu', 'tvshows', 'widgetTarget', u'videos']

for the corresponding widgets.

 

Merry Christmas!
