jonomite 29 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Is there a way to sync certain nodes/libraries rather than all of them? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
sualfred 677 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Create a new Emby user and just allow the access to your wanted libraries/nodes. 2
jonomite 29 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Posted April 29, 2018 Create a new Emby user and just allow the access to your wanted libraries/nodes. Thanks, this is helpful. One follow-up question - it seems that in-progress movies are user-specific. Is there a way to make in-progress movies available to other users?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 No. But you can add permanent additional users to the session. This way, they will share new watch status and in progress with those other emby users. In the addon settings > extras I believe. You can add their user name ie user1,user2...

Angelblue05 4132 Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 It's all good Permanent users, when the session is initiated, the user will automatically be added for you. You'll also find add/remove users from the session via launching the add-on. That option allows you to add-remove users for THIS current session. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Okay, I think I do have a real question now. Is there a way to do this for, say, the native Emby client on Android? For example, if I were to start a movie on my tablet using the Android client and wanted to pickup on Kodi? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Angelblue05 4132 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) So you mean, transfer the playing stream to Kodi? Or do you simply mean, stop playback, and pick it up on Kodi? As long as the main user or additional users on Android, is the same user used in Kodi (main user), then the in progress should update when you stop playback on Android.

I was referring to an instance where I'm viewing a movie on my Android tablet with a different user than the Emby for Kodi Client. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Angelblue05 4132 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Ok. On your Android tablet then you'd have to add as additional user the Emby for Kodi user. So when you watch stuff on Android, it will share watch status with the Emby for Kodi user. Does this make sense? @@Luke Will there ever be an easy way to add remove additional users for Emby apps? For example, in the web client remote control or something?
Luke 42077 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Yes I would like to, just haven't gotten to it yet. 1

Anyway, why did you want to have less library synced in Kodi? Was there an issue you encountered or?

Anyway, why did you want to have less library synced in Kodi? Was there an issue you encountered or? Not really. Long story short, I use a Kodi skin that displays fanart as a background, and it ends up pulling in fanart from all my movie libraries when I don't want it to. So, I started toying around with possibly using a different user for my TV that didn't sync every single library, to avoid this happening.
Angelblue05 4132 Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 I see, seems like a major workaround for a skin tweak.
jonomite 29 Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 Yeah. Never ever up doing it! Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
