Before i had a lot of tags attached to movies, for example, a Marvel Universe tag for all the MCU movies, I would then fill up a widget under the Movie hub based on that tag.
Now with Emby, i can't seem to make this work again. I've tried adding the tag in Emby, Kodi sees the tag, but doesn't do anything with it.
Am i missing something?
I've also tried making a smart playlist using the tag. The smart playlist shows the movies based on the tag, so that's working. But when i try to use the smart playlist in a widget, the widget doesn't show anything
Have you added your Emby folder as a Kodi Library source? I have a smallish 800 movies or so and the Big Bang Theory complete set on an external hard drive. I use addons mostly for Kodi which my Library is ginormous 1000 movies and 600+ TV series and have a Plex server mainly as backup if Kodi or the addons I use are acting squirrely. I use the Plex app on my shield and don't try to make it work with kodi tho. I doubt your problem is skin related you might find better assistance on your issue here https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...light=emby or possibly over at the Emby forum.
Hey, thanks for the reply. I solved my problem, it wasn't Emby, but just the weird way the Bingie skin works.
To get my playlist to show in a widget in a hub i had to use Mixed Media with playlists. Use the movie playlist i want, then select an empty tv playlist, then sort by year.
This is the only way i can make them show up in the hubs. If i want the same playlist on the Home page it's much easier. I just select the playlist and sort the widget.
I wish the way you set up the widgets for the hubs would be the same as for the home page. It works a lot better.
Now I'm struggling with a new problem
I had one computer set up completely the way i wanted it, hooked up to Emby, Bingie skin completely set up as i like it, all the widgets set up,....
Everything was working fine at that point. Then i tried to make a complete backup of that setup using the Backup Addon in Kodi.
Once i deployed the backup to my other computers (2PC's and 1 Nvidia Shield) everything seemed to work fine, except Emby didn't want to sync anymore to Kodi.
So movies getting added to the Emby server would not show up at all. At first i thought it was just slow because of the way the widgets refresh, but even after a long time waiting, restarting Kodi it was still the same result.
So i started over again. setup the first computer with just Emby and checked if that worked as expected. Then i set a second computer up with just Kodi hooked up to Emby. Everything is still working fine at this moment and setting all this up takes about 20 min incl the initial scan. So this is all good.
Now i installed the Bingie skin on one of the 2 newly set up computers. Everything still works fine. Then i tried to do a backup from the Bingie skin on one of the computers that was set up previously. Restoring that backup on the newly set up computer doesn't do anything.
So is there an easy way of copying all settings, playlists, menu structure from the Bingie skin to a new computer?
