Setting up libraries

[skank 85]

Honestly never had problems with my libraries until now when i use embruary skin for kodi

 

Sualfred mentioned, i've set up my libraries incorrectly

Thats why i come to this question

 

 

My server has following folder/subfolders

 

Movies

  4k movies

  3d movies

  bluray movies

  kids 3d movies

  kids 4k movies

  kids bluray movies

 

 

in emby server i setup following libraries

- 4k movies (pointing to 4k + kids 4k movies)

- 3d movies (pointing to 3d + kids 3d movies)

- kids movies (pointing to kids 3d+ kids bluray + kids 4k)

- all movies (pointing to all 6 folders)

 

Now when i use the embruary skin, i get double movies, although i dont have double versions

 

 

Sualfred told me :

 

That's not supported by Kodi, Emby for Kodi and only unofficially in Emby. Luke (the main dev of Emby) mentioned a few times that items should not be in multiple libraries.

 

 

Is that correcT?

Cause i never had problems with it before

 

How should i set it up then? Cause a movie should be visible in multiple "libraries" if needed

 

i hope i'm clear

Normally those should be merged.  From your list, you should likely have 2 library folders, movies and kids movies.  Movies that currently exist in several libraries would be moved into the same folder and named to support the different resolutions and such.  each movie would have one entry  but the various versions would be available to select in a dropdown.  Finally user rights would determine the saw movies, kids movies, or both in their movies library.

 

There are other ways to set it up, but that's the Emby standard for movies.

Create a separate folder and copy the relevant movie there

Hi, that's correct. We'd like to support it, but have not yet had a chance to circle back to it. Thanks.

Any idea how i should set it up then?

Proposals?

 

I should easily be able to filter 3d , 4k and kids movies

I would just have one all movies library and then use sub-folder access to control user access.
