### Download and installation
**Important notes**
- To achieve direct play, you will need to ensure your Emby library paths point to network paths (e.g: "\\\\server\Media\Movies"). See the [Emby wiki](https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Path%20Substitution) for additional information.
- **The addon is not (and will not be) compatible with the MySQL database replacement in Kodi.** In fact, Emby takes over the point of having a MySQL database because it acts as a "man in the middle" for your entire media library.
- Emby for Kodi is not currently compatible with Kodi's Video Extras addon unless native playback mode is used. **Deactivate Video Extras if content start randomly playing.**
View this short [Youtube video](https://youtu.be/IaecDPcXI3I?t=119) to give you a better idea of the general process.
1. Install the Emby for Kodi repository, from the repo install the Emby addon.
2. Within a few seconds you should be prompted for your server-details.
3. Once you're succesfully authenticated with your Emby server, the initial sync will start.
4. The first sync of the Emby server to the local Kodi database may take some time depending on your device and library size.
5. Once the full sync is done, you can browse your media in Kodi, and syncs will be done automatically in the background.
### Install Emby for Kodi
Get started with the [wiki guide](https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki)
### Known limitations
