Emby for kodi-Emby tools


Recommended Posts

Is there a "bookmark" page that list and explains all the tools available to us for fixing our setup when its not running right for some reason.

Between Emby and Kodi, around 10 different maintenance actions can be performed, but after months of using them, I realize its still unclear to me what results can be exactly expected from each of them. Some might need to be used in conjonction within a specific order.

 

Here's just a few of those tools, there's probably even more in the toolbox.

 

Emby for Kodi

Refresh Emby Playlists/Video nodes

Perform Manual Sync

Repair Local Database (force update all content)

Perform Local Database Reset

Cache all Artwork

 

Emby

Scan Library

Refresh

 

...and so on

No but this is the perfect opportunity for 1 of the near 30 thousand users to step up to the plate and produce this sort of documentation. A saying I always remember well is "you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back".

But "just" a reply to this thread would get buried and lost, I was hoping for an addition to the wiki or a pinned topic...

I just noticed something odd about my music library and wonder which of the above-mentioned tools would be most appropriate in this situation.

 

In Emby server, when I go in media/Music and go Songs tab:

Emby server reports 13834 songs

If I go in Kodi, from ribbon select Music/Songs, it reports 13265

That's about a 5% discrepancy, significant but nothing like what follows.

 

If I go back in Emby Server Media/Music and this time hit Artist tab, it reports 2045 artists

If I go in Kodi Music/Artist, it reports only 193 artists (!?!?!?) That's really way out in left field

 

What would be the best course of action to get Kodi artists count closer to reality?

 

EDIT: I forgot to say I am aware that audiodb was offline the last 2 weeks of february

They're my secondary scraper, musicbrainz being #1

Read elsewhere about Kodi 17 stable release, I installed it, and as soon as I hit music, Kodi said it needed to rescan my music library, I have all artists showing now (+/- 5%).
