Introduction: Emby team is glad to present a new addon for Kodi media center. It's available in our Kodi repository labeled as "emby-next-gen". The new plugin is not just an evolution of the previous "Emby" plugin version, it's a complete (70%) rewritten code. Design flaws of the previous version are now fixed and covers a lot of issues and incompatibilities. Most 3rd party Kodi plugins are supported by default.

System requirements: Emby server: 4.2.0.23 or higher Kodi: 18 or higher

Migration: The old "Emby" plugin supports up to Kodi 18.X. "Emby-next-gen" plugin supports Kodi 18.X and higher. Migration mode is available in "emby-next-gen". It keeps the "Emby" settings for "Emby-next-gen" however, a full database resync is still mandatory and not reversable after migration was initiated! Recommendation is a complete wipe of Kodi and its addons and begin with a clean installation. Kodi backups are recommended before migration.

Limitations: Even if "emby-next-gen" is declared as stable there are still some limitations. - Sleep mode/hibernate is not supported - Multi (Emby) server not supported - Playlist (Dynamic) Artwork not supported - Distributed TV Shows over multiple Folders/Hard drives not supported We are still working on those limitations and will be fixed in the next releases...

Installation: There are two options available: Native and Addon mode Addon-mode is highly recommended! Even if you used native mode in past, don't use it with "emby-next-gen" unless you have a very special case. Most of the drawbacks of native mode with the "old" plugin are covered. Addon-mode supports all "emby-next-gen" features, while native mode doesn't. e.g., multi-video, trailer, 3D, transcoding support etc.

Finally: If you still use Kodi 18, you can choose between "Emby" or "Emby-next-gen". Kodi 19 requires "Emby-next-gen". If you are happy with "Emby", keep it a bit longer and wait a few weeks. Even lots of people participated in testing (many thanks for all the feedback), it's still quite new.
