Just curious if this addon is still maintained as I see last commit was in June?
Cheers.
The "fork" of Kodi is almost finished. There is one minor improvements I have started working on a while ago but due to a stressful time at work and two small kids at home free time is a luxury.
The Emby and Plex media importer add-ons are feature-complete in the sense that they fully support all features expected and provided by Kodi core's media import logic. They also contain additional nice-to-have features like "skip intro" for Plex. Obviously there are tons of other features that could be added to these media importer add-ons like support for transcoding but they are not mandatory / importing for my primary use case which is to show case how powerful media import is.
Unfortunately the whole thing has hit a bump in the road due to a known bug / limitation in Kodi's Python 3 integration or even in Python 3 itself which severely impacts the functionality of Python based media importers. The same issue also affects skins which use a lot of Python add-ons to retrieve additional information like extra artwork etc. Until that issue has been resolved it does not really make sense to try to merge media import into Kodi mainline.
