The server-client structure, whether Emby or Plex, has the appeal of central, remote, media management and playback. As for MrMC, it’s similar to Kodi regarding providing a client with for both Plex and Emby, so far so good. Plex has its own connection and, in addition, an add-on with it’s own UI. The latter is not available for Emby, so the situation is asymmetric here, for obvious reasons; there is no such Emby add on/Extension.pecinko wrote: 23 Jul 2018, 19:47 I don't know much about Emby, tried it but never found server part intuitive to setup, but may I ask what is the point of getting your media scanned into Emby server and than using an extension to pull it out and populate MrMC(Kodi) database? Why not use MrMC with MySql in the first place?
This is not to say Emby client will or will not be improved but if we decide to do it, above example does not seems as a proper way to go. Furthermore, last time I tried official Emby client on ATV it didn't do nothing of a kind - it acted as a proper client-server solution. Kodi lacks server support so above way may be the only way possible but it is a different story with MrMC.
Although I’m not the one who would like to see tens of skins, I would say the quickest way is to import Embuary skin; Emby settled for a while!Montoya wrote: 23 Jul 2018, 22:00 I can completely understand as an Emby user, the request to make MrMC more Emby friendly.
One of the things I miss most right now with the current Emby Client Service:
Filter Emby Movie library by:
- Sets
- Unwatched
- Genres
- Years
- Actors
This is possible in Opacity with a Movie library from a MrMC database, but not when an Emby Movie library is selected in MrMC Home Screen.
@pecinko
For 3.8, does the Ariana Skin get support for above filter options for MrMC database based Movie libraries ?
Because that is still the main reason Opacity is my main Skin, because Ariana lacks those filter options.
Keep in mind that Embuary is Krypton and Leia only and that MrMC is based on Jarvis...Everbrave wrote: 23 Jul 2018, 22:22 Although I’m not the one who would like to see tens of skins, I would say the quickest way is to import Embuary skin; Emby settled for a while!

So I expect that you get the same answer, that Devs give to people when they ask why Estuary is not available in MrMC.
This is the correct answer.... you don’t need us to confirm, pecinko is part of the teampecinko wrote: 24 Jul 2018, 07:01 I would much rather hear what is missing in Emby client that suggestions on how Emby support should be implemented.
So far, it looks like we’re lacking filters.
Fair enough, so under the assumptions:amet wrote: 24 Jul 2018, 08:56....pecinko wrote: 24 Jul 2018, 07:01 I would much rather hear what is missing in Emby client that suggestions on how Emby support should be implemented.

I am not too familiar with Emby addon for Kodi but I would prefer to look into issues users might have with our emby integration rather then pulling in bunch of addons to rectify missing features.
