jonomite 29 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Greetings, I am using the stable build of Emby for Kodi on the latest Kodi 18 nightly. Everything has been working swimmingly, and I just had one question. I have a home videos library on my Kodi server that I can't seem to access through Emby for Kodi. Or maybe I can and I just don't know how to do it. I have synced all available libraries to Kodi, and I checked the "Videos" menu in the default Estuary skin and didn't see anything appear. Am I missing something? Many thanks!
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Home videos is a dynamic library, it's not synced. Under Video add-ons > Emby for Kodi you'll find it. 1

Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Yes, that is correct. I highly recommend Embuary. It offers extra features to go along with Emby for Kodi.

It offers extra features to go along with Emby for Kodi.I'm probably being done, but I can't seem to find where dynamic libraries are nested from the add-on menu. I still only see movies, TV, and music. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) They are directly provided by Emby for Kodi. To view them, you have to open Emby for Kodi. Then you'll see all your libraries. Add-ons > Video add-ons > Emby for Kodi > Home Videos. Let me know if I misunderstood what you are asking about. Edited January 26, 2019 by Angelblue05

That's what I'm doing, and I only see the movies, TV, and collections library. Am I missing something?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Is the library available to the user? Emby dashboard > users > user > access. You don’t need to do anything special, it should just be there, as it grabs the listing from the user on the server when Kodi is restarted.
jonomite 29 Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Yes. I confirmed that I can access it in Embuary (it appears at the top) but I just can't seem to find it in the add-on menu. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk 1
Solution Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 27, 2019 Solution Posted January 27, 2019 Oh right, I am being silly. Home Videos and photos display under picture add-ons. That is because pictures don't display correctly if the shortcut is a video add-on shortcut. 1
