So I've so far only really used Kodi as a front-end for Movies and TV Shows, but would now like to figure out how to best hook in Music.
Here is my setup:
- NVidia Shield as my client device, with Kodi (and the Emby addon) installed
- Windows PC as my server device, with Emby Server installed (and all of my Movies / Shows / Music saved on it)
On my PC, I use Media Monkey to manage my music content, and is where I have numerous playlists created. I also have Emby connected to my music folder, so it's able to see my music content. However, I haven't found a way for Emby to interact with my music playlists that I created in Media Monkey.
My goal would be for me to be able to have a Music category in the Kodi home menu, which would allow me to browse through my entire music collection, but to also have the ability to view playlists that I created inside Media Monkey on my PC.
Is something like this possible? If so, how should I go about doing this? Should I keep Emby in the loop and have the Kodi Emby addon pass through the music? Or is there another way?
