[Solved] - Using PlayMedia for playlists no longer working in Emby for Kodi 3.0.x

[VladTepz 47]

Using Kodi's PlayMedia to directly play playlists is no longer working in the beta 3.0.x versions. This is useful for playlist scripts or directly playing playlists from the menu or skin shortcuts.
PlayMedia to directly play playlists is still working fine in the stable 2.3.x versions.

Here is the error snippet. I can post the full log if needed.

If any more info is needed I'd be more than happy to provide anything needed.

I can confirm that it's broken.

This also happens if you manually add items to a queue and start the playback right out of the playlist window.

Thanks for reporting this, I'll have a look.

Give 3.0.5a a try. Let me know if your issue is resolved.

Everything seems to be working as expected with v3.0.5a. 

 

Thank you!
