Jellyfin for Kodi sync problem

  • Hello guys,

    I have a Jellyfin server installed on my home server (Debian 12.1). It is working well so far.

    And i have a RPI 4b with LibreELEC on it. But i'm having trouble regarding the sync of LibreELEC with my Jellyfin librairies.

    When i turn on my RPI and LibreELEC, maybe one or two second after landing on libreelec homepage, i have that popup with the red cross saying something like "can't connect to the jellyfin server".

    And after maybe 4 or 5 minutes of waiting on the homepage, i've got another popup saying something like "welcome to Jellyfin for Kodi". And in the activity of the Jellyfin server, i see that LibreELEC is connected.

    But the thing is that after LibreELEC is connected to the Jellyfin server, the librairies are not updated with the latest media i put on the server. I need to go to addon settings to manually update librairies to get the last media.

    I'm on LibreELEC 12.0.2 and the jellyfin addon is on 1.07+py3

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Go to Addons -> LibreELEC Settings -> Network -> Wait for network before starting Kodi -> Maximum Wait Time (Sec.) and increase time to 60sec.

    If still failing provide a log.

    Thanks for your answer :)

    So the toggle was already ON but the maximum wait was 10 sec. I changed it for 60 sec and it seems that it is working. LibreELEC is slightly slower to start but i don't have that red cross popup anymore. I have that "welcome jellyfin server blabla..." popup right after i arrive on the home page.

    But my other problem is still there. I've just added new content to my jellyfin server (i can see them in my jellyfin web app). But can't see them in LibreELEC, unless i do a manual refresh of the Librairies on the Jellyfin add-on.

  • 10 sec is the default compromise to not delay the boot to log without having network. I'm interested how log it takes on your side. Please provide a log even it is working using pastekodior the LE Settings Addon - a debug log is not required.

    For the Jellyfin issue better ask in the addon thread of Kodi of Jellyfin forum.

    I would say around 30 second to start. I will try to provide logs.

    Ok i will see over there, thanks.

    On your Jellyfin server did you install the Kodi plugin ?

    You mean "Kodi Sync Queue" add-on ? If it is the case, yes it is installed and active on my Jellyfin server.

    Thanks

  • Yes this add on makes my Jellyfin librairies up to date in LE/jellycon

    Did you try to update manually the librairies on LE ?

    Yep, as i said, updating manually the librairies works but it should not be needed to update manually the librairies each time i add new content. I would expect the addon to detect new content automatically.
    Thanks
