I tried this - dropped the network connection - and when I rebooted the library was still there. The fact that the Emby Server Sync's the Server library with the local instance of the KODI database of the device means that my device can deal with server downtime, portability etc. Now I have thought more about this and the more I do the more I like this setup better than a central MySQL database technically too. In a matter of a couple of minutes it was done. It started syncing the library **FAST** with the local Library of the device. As soon as the plugin was installed it found the Emby Server and asked me if I wanted to connect (it only asks the first time). Given my Headless Setup with MySQL wasn't working great anyway with Isengard, I removed my advanced settings.xml file, rebooted and installed the plugin. I selected a few options that looked like they would make things nicer but in essence I went straight to my KODI devices. Within 6 mins I had the docker installed and the server configured and pointing to my unRAID library of files and folders and running. A quick search of the unRAID Community Applications plugin within unRAID landed me on the Emby Docker by HurricaneHernandez (got to love the unRAID community). Last night I watched the Youtube video available in the link above and was blown away. However, NOW they have released a KODI Plugin!!! Importantly it monitors your library source for changes and adds the new Movies or TV shows to the library when it detects a change. However, for those who are running (or want to run) centralised KODI databases that is not where the gold nugget is.Īt the core, Emby creates libraries by scanning folders that you add (much like KODI does), grabs metadata and all the other stuff we are used to KODI doing when we add a folder to the KODI library. Now for most people this is "more" than they need because (like me) they probably use tools like or Plex or smoother transcoding device or similar. Your Emby Server automatically converts and streams your media on-the-fly to play on any device." "Bring all of your media together into one place has never been easier. For those interested please see here: Īnyway, due to the issues with KODI and Openelec BETA 2 centralised database with MariaDB (Mysql) - which for those who don't know it isn't working - I was pointed to an application called Emby Server by the awesome smakovits. I thought I would post this in here because I didn't want to detract away from those that are working hard and producing great work like KODI-Headless by SparklyBalls. Update : since I posted this Emby had come through BETA and has officially released integration with KODI/Openelec:
