Emby Connect

Emby Connect has been implemented to provide a way to identify yourself and select the main server to be synced to Kodi. This means at this time, you will find the option to sign in the add-on settings, but it won't do anything if you are already logged in. However in the future, it will allow us to add features such as supporting access to multiple Emby servers within one Kodi profile. Other servers won't be synced to the Kodi database, but will be accessed as plugin listing which can be added to your home screen.

Add:

  • NEW! Default to HTTP playback out of the box, when selecting add-on playback mode. To use Samba (SMB), the option can be disabled via add-on settings > playback. We all agreed, this would be the most user-friendly approach to achieving Direct Play for new users. Note, this change only effects new installs.
  • NEW! Option to sign in using Emby connect when you first set up.
  • NEW! Backup option. Find out more: https://github.com/M...ore-from-backup
  • Design revamp for the initial setup process and the emby context menu.
  • Automatic detection of internal/external server address
  • Repair sync can now be filtered by content type (movies, tvshows, musicvideos and/or music if enabled)
  • Sync season name for Kodi Jarvis and higher. This will only effect naming moving forward. Refreshing individual seasons in the Emby metadata manager, or via the Emby Kodi context menu option will update the season naming. You can also run a repair sync by launching the Emby add-on.
  • Catch any errors when processing content. The server api is constantly evolving, this will help prevent the add-on from crashing due to unexpected changes. Currently, it will fail silently with a log message, but eventually there will be a visual indicator, if something is wrong when adding or updating your content.
  • Support series pooling. This will require to reset of your local database. Once content is fully re-synced, proceed with a manual sync to apply series pooling. This will eventually be updated to become a seamless process.
  • Support favorite episodes
  • Move the device Id to a permanent location to outlive the reinstall of the add-on - thanks @Delphi
  • Support German MPAA rating. You will need to reset or repair your local database to apply the change.
  • Automatically download external subs with language tag for direct streaming, this allows external subtitles to properly display in Kodi (supports any encoding)
  • New option to disable the Emby context menu in the add-on settings > extras
  • New setting under add-on settings > extras > display message. This control how long messages received will display for.
  • Expand the video quality selection (25/30/35 Mpbs) - thanks @3lysium
  • Translation updated for German, French, Portuguese, Russian and Dutch

Fix:

  • Review the music import process to fix a few existing discrepancies between Kodi and the webclient. You may need to do a repair to fix existing issues. If the issue still persist, please try a reset of your local database.
  • When a video library is disabled for the user, the add-on will automatically remove content that belongs in Kodi; it replaces the need to run a manual sync to remove the content that no longer belongs
  • Rework manual sync
  • Navigation not waking up display
  • Filter music from the fast sync plugin if music is disabled in the Kodi profile
  • Fast sync being used to save update times when plugin is not installed
  • TV Show detection when verifying if the series exists when using native playback mode.
  • Ubuntu importerror crash
  • Restart server behavior in the add-on to re-apply post capabilities
  • Virtual episodes crashing the library sync
  • Fix platform detection - thanks @Delphi
  • Fix to music direct stream option (avoid transcode and adjust file extensions used) - you will need to repair your music library to apply the changes.
  • Specials -1 bug (you'll need to refresh problematic specials episode to correct the issue moving forward)
  • Set Subtitles and Disable Subtitles web command
  • Playstate-Delete content conflict
  • Fix path validation when there's special characters (umlaut, etc)
  • Other minor fixes
