@apeg, i understand your struggle.
I switched to Emby for Kodi a month ago to test stability and functionality and to review if it's a full replacer for SQL 5 user setup. This with the thought that it would be easier to update to new Kodi releases knowing that I wan't to be able to make use of the newest functionality every time.
So far I am positively surprised about the capabilities. For sure it uses more cpu from the server then SQL but I have the spare capacity available so no problem, from the other hand you have much more control over user authorizations and your metadata management is much smoother. I won't be even bother to figure out a fix for the database anymore in SQL...Emby and Kodi work together nicely. At least this is the opinion of a less advanced user...For me the user experience is priority 1.
