EmbySync is not (and will not be) compatible with the MySQL database replacement in Kodi. In fact, MediaBrowser takes over the point of having a MySQL database because it acts as a "man in the middle" for your entIre media library. Offcourse you can still use MySQL for your music while music is not supported by the addon currently. The addon is not (and will not be) compatible with the MySQL database replacement in Kodi.

MediaBrowser has the ability to create custom nodes/folders for your Media, such as having a seperate folder for your "Kids Movies" etc. In Kodi this isn't supported, you just have "movies" or "tvshows". But... Kodi let's you create your own playlists and tags to get this same experience. In the EmbySync the foldernode from the MB3 server is added to the movies that are imported. In Kodi you can browse to Movie library --> tags and you will have a filtered result that points at your custom node. If you have a skin that let's you create any kind of shortcut on the homescreen you can simply create a shortcut to that tag. Another possibility is to create a "smart playlist" with Kodi and set it to show the content of a certain tag.

Note that we're still in early alpha stage with this project. We won't provide the addon on the (beta) repository untill we're sure that it's stable enough and we've ironed out the biggest issues.
Please remember that if any issue is fixed, you have to redownload and install the above mentioned zipfile for the addon.
