The "ContainerBitrateExceedsLimit" is normal, this is actually a message/report to Emby server why transcoding was initiated. -> content bitrate higher than maximum network speed/bandwidth available. I assume Emby server limits PGSSUB on low bandwidth? Not sure, I assume PGSSUBs are embedded into video feed or a separate feed? Anyway, it would totally make sense to remove a subtitle stream to save bandwidth for the actual video feed. But what's odd is that I have to select such a low video quality rate when my connection is really good, I should not have any bandwith issue, it's only happening with emby next-gen in kodi, I am able to stream 4k on emby theater or with emby web player with no issues at all, not a single buffer, even with the plex addon in Kodi I am not having issues, but with emby if I select more than 1 Mbps I am finding that the playback freezes after 5 seconds and if I try to stop it I have to end up killing kodi. I was testing with other emby versions and I found that the emby addon v.4.1.21 in Kodi Leia 18.9 runs fine with no playback issues.

I have had one issue that Kodi couldn't play any file, I guess E4K lost connection with the server. A simple Shield reboot fixed it, didn't happen again after that. For now I see that as an isolated incident . If it happens again I will post the log. @BaukeZwart This happens to me too. I found it happens when Kodi is running for a long time and I return to my Shield a few days later without playing anything new (I might of paused a previous playback item). When I try to initialize playback it just fails. Force quitting the App does not fix the problem either from the Android OS on the Shield. The only thing that works is a complete restart of the OS. My guess a memory leak somewhere with Kodi and the OS as it it seems to be player focused and not addon focused. Edited January 15, 2022 by LichenKing
LichenKing 17 Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) A new thing I notice and this might be a Kodi changed behavior with a newer patch. Playback does start but starts in the background of the Kodi app. You can see the item playing under all the Kodi navigation lists seen through the transparent layers of the GUI interface. The UI no longer navigates to the player directly upon playback. The only way is to back out of any current loaded sub navigation until you are at the parent main view where the player is loaded.

Sounds like it's cause by the audioplayer fix. I removed focus videoplayer on playback. I'll check

DiscoDuck79 47 Posted January 16, 2022 Posted January 16, 2022 @quickmic I have some questions regarding subtitles. I use 6.26, addon mode and opensubtitles, subs should be stored next to the file on the server. Scenario - I start playback of a file that has an external srt in my preferred language available next to the mkv on the server. When I start the playback I get a copy of the external srt downloaded to .kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.emby-next-gen/temp/ and it's named after its index number amongst the subtitles, e.g. the name can be 12.swe.srt - I don't really understand why it does this. When I download a subtitle it should be stored next to the file on the server. But I get two local copies in temp folder: .kodi/temp/embyvideo-b4c3377815e44e1881de0c497a94e8d1-285300-7395acd4ca06094081809dd6e63d5bc5-7395acd4ca06094081809dd6e63d5bc5-10318-974-43130-movie-15121055-1-1-1-1-NAME_OF_FILE.en.srt and .kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.subtitles.opensubtitles/temp/1a13680b-8549-454f-bff5-fb2666ecc97e.srt If I stop playback and then start it again, the downloaded subtitle isn't available and I have to search again - but it remains within the paths above. It's also persistent across reboots. Is it a permission/path issue on my side or is it caused by the plugin? Beside this subtitle issue next-gen is working great for me - after the latest improvements to the sync I haven't experienced a single glitch and the initial sync is so much faster I thought something was broken the first time I did a complete reset

Therefore subtitles cannot be loaded to the actual content path and uses temp paths. Probably possible in native mode. Seems what you request is actually adding data to emby server. Maybe possible but not in next betas/stable. In general I'm not convinced about such an approach. The plugin is for playpack. It takes the data from Emby server and not manipulating Embys database/content. There is one exception, deleting content and this has historical reasons. I would never add such a function if it was up to me.

Thanks for confirming it, user case is mainly for convenience if I've missed to dl a subtitle with Bazarr, fully agree on your approach stability > very specific user case.

Home2008 21 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Hi, muß leider in deutsch fragen, auch wenn nicht erwünscht. Kannst mir in Englisch antworten.. Kodi neu eingerichtet, und Version .26 installiert. Es werden mir plötzlich nicht existierende Filme angezeigt! Der Server von Emby ist aber korrekt! Das Problem habe ich an drei Clients mit Kodi 19.3!

Das Problem habe ich an drei Clients mit Kodi 19.3! Without further information, impossible to say what's wrong. The non existent content must have a reason, the plugin does not randomly add content Probably old content not removed? Or was it added after startup sync. Dozens reasons possible.
Home2008 21 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 The phenomenon only occurred after the update from version .25 to .26. Before that, everything was fine. Since these films cannot be found on the server, how can I find out if only the names are wrong. I can't play them either because they are not available.

Shouldn't be an issue with 6.2.6. No (major) sync changes were applied. I assume it has something todo with Kodi restart/plugin reconnect. Anyway, not possible to to debug without a proper test case. Even if you know what kind of content was added, dozens of reasons possible. Can you force the issue?
Home2008 21 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Already uninstalled the addon, set it up again. What I have just discovered: My TV recordings from the SAT receiver are in Emby, although I have not added this folder. I have now removed it from the Emby server and re-imported the library. The recordings are still there in Kodi, but not on the server. Should I delete the local DB?
Home2008 21 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Deleting the data helped, now everything is back to normal. I just wonder: How did the recording area get added there? Via the PVR add-on?

Library selection (sync selection) will not change due plugin update. Have you reset the database and probably selected all? Maybe in the past you selected individual libs?
SwanStream 64 Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 New crashes I'm afraid. New situation too... I'm using a VPN at certain times to see certain content. However the VPN software sometimes takes a dump and blocks local assets, like my Emby box and library files. I suspect that is related for at least one of the crashes I've seen. I'll PM the logs/crash logs/traces. Thanks again for the support mate. 1
quickmic 1703 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Posted January 20, 2022 6.2.6 is pushed to Emby Kodi's beta repo
quickmic 1703 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 6.2.6 seems quite stable. All reported issues are edge cases. I'll try to cover them in next versions. I leave it in Emby's Kodi beta repo for 1 or 2 weeks and publish it as stable soon. Roadmap 7.X: DROP Kodi 18 support! Focus on Music sync improvements Edge case bugfixes 1
