mwkurt 5 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Hello, I have Emby Server on a Windows 7 Machine and Emby for Kodi on a, Nvidia Shield. I have tried to set the parental controls for the Shield from my Emby Server machine without any luck. The setting doesn't seem to take effect on the Shield and I still see TV shows and Movies that the little ones probably shouldn't. I have tried shutting down Emby-Server and deleting the U.S ratings text file and restarting Emby-Server. I have tried to refresh all Meta Data and still no luck. Any help in troubleshooting this? Thanks, Mark Edited December 26, 2017 by mwkurt
ebr 16179 Posted December 26, 2017 Posted December 26, 2017 Hi @@mwkurt. Emby's parental controls are user-based. So you set the parental limit for a particular user and then, whenever logged in as that user, those limits will be applied. So, you will have to configure your Kodi setup to use the proper Emby user. Moving over there for the right eyes...
mwkurt 5 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 Hello, That, I thought, was what I was doing. I set the parental controls of the user, in this case the Shield in the kids room, from my Emby Server. Not quite sure what you mean when you say "you will have to configure your Kodi setup to use the proper Emby user." Are there settings within Kodi that I need to fiddle with as well as the Parental Controls within Emby Server? Thanks, Mark
ebr 16179 Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Your Shield is a device, not a user... When you setup Kodi to work with Emby, you tell it which Emby user to connect as I believe but I'm not that familiar with the process. One of the Kodi guys will be able to help you out though. Thanks.
mwkurt 5 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Posted December 27, 2017 I think that we are having a lack of communication. :-) I do have a user attached to the Shield Device and that is what I am trying to set the Parental Controls on. Here are the users I have connected to Emby Server: I am setting the Parental Controls on the user "Shield_Kidsroom", and they do not take effect.
Solution Angelblue05 4132 Posted December 27, 2017 Solution Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) @@mwkurt Run a manual sync in the kodi profile that contains content you've filtered out. Since content is not actually removed from server, just hidden, there's no server event triggered to update the Kodi database. A manual sync should do it tho (launch the emby add-on > manual sync). Then it should be fine moving forward. Edited December 27, 2017 by Angelblue05 1
