As far as I understand, yes. For simplicity you still need multiple profiles on Kodi, and each of those will be logged into the Emby for Kodi addon as a different user too. But that's it as far as 'complexity' goes.

Then you just add those users and adjust some settings in the Emby Server Dashboard, but for non tech users that's much easier than MySQL and it's all in a windows style GUI too.

In addition there are quite good management features regarding what different users have access to both in terms of settings and actual content. Useful for a mixture of different family members.

I found Emby to be generally brilliant as a server for Kodi during a quick test a while ago, and also an easy way to serve content to your devices from home to a remote or mobile location too.

However not being able to sync my watched and resume status for the more than 300 other (mainly streaming) Kodi video addons that are here http://addons.kodi.tv/category/video/ was just too much of a MySQL feature to lose for my purposes, and you cant run Emby + mySQL together. I watch a lot of (legal) streaming content from these Kodi video addons and it's essential that at least the watched status is syncd between all my devices for these video clips too.

I raised the issue in this thread http://emby.media/community/index.php?/t...-from-sql/ but was pretty much shot down. Pity because without this limitation it would be a no brainer to replace MySQL with Emby. As a server it seems very good.

If you have the same thoughts, please raise this issue on the Emby forums too.
