I have been using kodi with mysql setup for the past 5 years and I would always cringe at the thought of updating to the latest release of kodi because I would have to make sure that mysql got setup right, etc. It was also a pain to get the files needed (ie: advancedsettings) into my android boxes. I currently switched my whole system to Unraid and I setup mysql on it for kodi. It really bothered me that I couldn't keep track of individual users shows and movies watched so I started reading this post and I just couldn't see changing the database every time there is an update to kodi. I installed Plex Server on the Unraid server and this works great for watching shows on my ipad and when I am not at home (my son uses it to access shows when he is at university). But I didn't like the way it was used in Kodi. After reading on here I decided to try Emby. I installed it on my Unraid server and then installed the plugin and although I had a bit of trouble with the settings in unraid, once I got it all configured correctly it is working perfectly. I love that it just works in the background on kodi because I love the way kodi works and looks. I can use any skin I want. And know I can see my watched status and my kids can see there watched status separately. And I also have everyone on the latest 15.2 kodi. Emby really works for me. When they finally get an app for the iOS I won't need Plex anymore.
