**A whole new way to manage and view your media library.**
|
|
|
|
The Emby for Kodi add-on combines the best of Kodi - ultra smooth navigation, beautiful UIs and playback of any file under the sun, and Emby - the most powerful open source multi-client media metadata indexer and server. You can now retire your MySQL setup in favor of a more flexible setup.
|
|
|
|
Synchronize your media on your Emby server to the native Kodi database, browsing your media at full speed, while retaining the ability to use other Kodi add-ons to enhance your experience. In addition, you can use any Kodi skin you'd like!

### Supported
|
|
|
|
The add-on supports a hybrid approach. You can decide which Emby libraries to sync to the Kodi database. Other libraries and features are accessible dynamically, as a plugin listing.
|
|
- Library types available to sync:
|
|
+ Movies and sets
|
|
+ TV shows
|
|
+ Music videos
|
|
+ Music
|
|
- Other features supported:
|
|
+ Simple Live TV presentation
|
|
+ Home Videos & photos
|
|
+ Audiobooks
|
|
+ Playlists
|
|
+ Theme media
|
|
- Direct play and transcode
|
|
- A 2-way watched and resume state between your server and Kodi. This is a near instant feature.
|
|
- Remote control your Kodi; send play commands from your Emby web client or Emby mobile apps.
|
|
- Extrafanart (rotating backgrounds) for skins that support it
|
|
- Offer to delete content after playback
|
|
- Backup your emby kodi profile. See the [Emby backup option](https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/Create-and-restore-from-backup)
|
|
- and more...
|
|
|
|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
### Known limitations
|
|
- Chapter images are missing unless native playback mode is used.
|
|
- Certain add-ons that depend on seeing where your content is located will not work unless native playback mode is selected.
