1. I most likely won't have time to take care of any bugs and issues this would cause which would result in a huge additional burden on other developers.
   
2. The implementation only covers videos and music hasn't been done yet.
   
3. Right now the only way to write media imports is in C++. I would prefer it if we had a python add-on interface which would make it a lot easier for other people to write imports for Emby, Plex et al.

This seems to be a huge amount of work though.. https://github.com/Montellese/xbmc/commits/ohnet
Maybe something for GSoC?

• GetIdentification(): this should be easy as the add-on already has an ID and a name.
  
• ProvidesChangeset(): whether the add-on provides a full list of imported items or only a changeset since the last synchronisation.
  
• CanImport(): whether the add-on is capable of importing items from a given path.
  
• LoadSourceSettings() / LoadImportSettings(): the add-on can provide media provider / import specific settings. This is the reason why I started working on getting add-ons to use the same settings system as kodi again.
  
• Import(): the add-on gets a list of already imported items and then more or less returns a full list or a changeset of imported items
  

• the new API in the xbmcmediaimport module doesn't support handling media provider and media import settings yet
  
• the new API in the xbmcmediaimport module is completely undocumented
  
• the new add-on doesn't handle user authentication (it simply uses a hardcoded API key) which requires media provider settings (see above)
  
• the new add-on doesn't handle library views and everything is hardcoded
  

• providing a service script which is responsible for discovering and registering media providers through the xbmcmediaimport module
  
• providing a library script which can handle different actions with the most important ones being "canimport" and "import" where for import you get a path and a list of media types to import and then you can do some magic, create ListItems and pass them back to Kodi which will then properly handle them as imported items.

(2017-06-10, 02:17)LongMan Wrote: A possible description could be;

"Emby Media Importer allows you to import and play media libraries, for movies, tv shows and music videos, from Emby Media Server. Thus using Emby as a metadata manager (server) and Kodi as player (client). In addition playback data can be synced across multiple clients, for each User on Emby."
