We're still in an early alpha stage of development. Features will be added once we are sure that this concept will work and users like what it does. Currently this features are working:
We're still in beta stage of development. Currently this features are working:
- Movies
- TV Shows
- MusicVideos
- Full sync at first run (import), background syncs configurable by the user in the addonsetting. The current default is that it will do a full sync on the background every couple of minutes.
- Deletions are supported: Items that are deleted on the MB3 server will be deleted on the Kodi database. The other way around is not supported. Deletions on the Kodi client will be synced back.
- Watched state/resume status sync: This is a 2-way synchronisation. Any watched state or resume status will be instantly (within 30 seconds) reflected to or from Kodi and the server.
- Deletions are supported: Items that are deleted on the MB3 server will be deleted on the Kodi database. Deletions done from the Kodi client TO the Emby server is only supported if you enable file deletions in the Kodi settings. An additional warning will be diaplayed if you really want to remove the item from the Emby server.
- Watched state/resume status sync: This is a 2-way synchronisation. Any watched state or resume status will be instantly (within seconds) reflected to or from Kodi and the server.

**To get started with the Emby addon for Kodi, first follow these guides to set up Emby and Kodi:**
1. To prevent any conflicts, disable/remove the "normal" MediaBrowser addon from your Kodi setup.
1. To prevent any conflicts, remove the "old" MediaBrowser addon from your Kodi setup.
2. If you were using a modded skin for the MediaBrowser addon, make sure to set it in "normal Kodi mode" or just install the unmodded version of the skin.
3. Install the latest (DEV-version) of the addon here: https://github.com/marcelveldt/plugin.video.mb3sync/archive/master.zip
3. Install the MediaBrowser/Emby BETA repository for Kodi, from the repo install the Emby addon.
4. Within a few seconds you should be prompted for your server-details (or auto discovered). If not, try to restart Kodi
5. Once you're succesfully authenticated to your MediaBrowser/Emby server, the initial sync will start.
6. The first sync of the Emby server to local Kodi database may take some time. On a powerful machine and fast network, expect around 15-45 minutes. On a slow machine (such as a Raspberry Pi) the first sync may take up to two hours.

**Known Issues:**
- Only support for Movies, Tv Shows and Musicvideos
- Still balancing user information (progress dialog) vs background work
- Windows users: Kodi Helix 14.2 RC1 required - other versions will result in errors with recently added items etc.
**Important note about MySQL database in kodi**
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. 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. Offcourse you can still use MySQL for your music while music is not supported by the addon currently.
**Important note about user collections/nodes**
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.
