Hey together,
i am searching for an addon to add upnp source to the kodi library on my firetv.

I read your post of 2015 and i am glad to read, that you try to finish it.

My dlna server is a gerbera (mediatomb fork) on a centos 8 box.

I really want to try your testbuild, but the link is dead.

My question, is this build an addon or a whole kodi version?

greetings from germany

Thanks for your interest.

In general for media import to be supported you need a test build from this thread. Then it depends on where you want to import from:

• UPnP is supported out of the box. But only UPnP servers which support searching for specific media types (movies, tvshows, ...) are supported.
  
• Emby / Jellyfin requires the mediaimporter.emby add-on
  
• Plex requires the mediaimporter.plex add-on
  

I will post new test builds once I've fixed an annoying bug.

What platform would you require a test build for? 

Hi,
that sounds great,
my kodi runs on a firetv  stick, so i think it is armv7 32 bit. I have two, one 4k the other normal. but i think both was armv7.

I noticed one thing, i have 2 movie posters and a some series posters that i have corrected and showup on jellyfin but are not imported to kodi, even when i restart kodi and retrieves new added media it doesn´t import those posters.

I even tried to synchronize again and the posters dont show up, for example for a series it doesnt seem to get the right metadata when i press info theres no extended information about the series.

should i try to remove from library and scan again? i bet that probably will work. 

here is the log https://paste.kodi.tv/gaqegijasa.kodi

I have a feature request for you, when importing libraries from jellyfin, emby or plex, it would be nice to create a smartplaylist from those libraries, for example i have this sets of libraries films: Movies, Animation Movies, Documentaries, Short Movies, Animation Short Movies, series: Series, Animation Series, Documentaries Series.

Thats how i have it sorted and organized on jellyfin, so it would be nice on import to create that smartplaylists because they are handy to customize skins.

edit: as i suspected, after a few remove and sync again it showed properly the movie posters and info.
        about the playlists i see they are tagged, so i can create the playlists from the tags, so maybe the playlists are not needed.

@Norin_Radd thanks for the feedback. Right now artwork is not properly synchronized. On initial synchronization of a media import all artwork is imported but any later synchronization does not re-synchronize artwork. The reason for this is an issue with Kodi's UPnP implementation which caused complete re-synchronizations when using media importing over UPnP. But I will remove this restriction in a future test build so that it works for Emby / Jellyfin and Plex.

For Emby / Jellyfin each imorted item is tagged with the library view from Emby / Jellyfin so you should be able to create those smartplaylists yourself.

[Montellese]

Finally there are new test builds. These test builds are based on Kodi Matrix pre-alpha with Python 3 support:

• Windows x86
  
• Windows x64
  
• Android ARMv7a
  
• Android ARM64v8a
  
• OSX
  
• IOS
  
• IOS ARM64
  

Please install the media import repository and install / update the media importer add-ons from there. This way you should get all necessary dependencies.

I've uploaded RPi2 and Generic LibreELEC Kodi 19 master (same as #0109 test build) with the addition of https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/compare/mas...e_20200101 (perma link).

I quickly tested the RPi2 build - it started Kodi but failed to upgrade the database correctly from MyVideos116:

Maybe adding an existing column fails silently/does nothing with SQLite, and this is just a MySQL issue? Anyway, full debug log: http://ix.io/26Za

Download #0109w: RPi2, Generic

Obviously, I offer only very limited support for these upnp builds.

tried with new build and updated addon

movies play, but with this build i no longer can use embuary skin nor skinshortcuts or any subtitles addons work.

@Milhouse thanks for your support and for the report. You're right that update action is not needed. I also noticed that the column already exists but forgot to remove the update action again. I've removed it and force pushed the branch.

That's because the new test builds are based on a recent Kodi master where Kodi has migrated from Python 2 to Python 3 for add-ons (since Python 2 will be EOL soon). The problem now is that a lot of add-ons are not yet (fully) Python 3 compatible so they won't work until their authors update them.

Hello together,
thx for the build. I want to give linux x86 or 64 a chance. So i register to github and want to download and compile it for linux x64.
I am not a github pro, i found the wiki, howto build kodi for linux, but how can i get your fork?

In the meantime i install all the dependencies to compile kodi on fedora 30

i thought so, i asked around in the forum already, but now iam going to ask again.

and what about external subtitles from jellyfin any news?

weird

i cannot start kodi

yesterday was working fine

edit: uninstalled kodi and installed latest matrix version and importer repo and emby addon and it doesn´t sync. 

tested authentication ok but when i press access nothing happens.

@LongMan has created a feature request at https://github.com/Montellese/mediaimpor...y/issues/4. But for me it's very low priority because I don't use subtitles at all and the workaround involves having to download the subtitles manually, rename them and feed them back to Kodi which sounds ugly...

Thanks for the detailed analysis. For media_type we usually use 20 but for role we should use the maximum. I'll make the necessary changes ASAP.
