An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.2.0.0) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.0) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain
some new features and bug fixes. A lot of time was spent hardening the Kodi sync
code and improving how nosync and live channels are handled. Some usability
enhancements were added like being able to get a complete TV series listing
from any episode in the series from GUI mode. As well there is a really cool
new feature with v2.2.0.0 for Mezzmo Movie Previews where you can adjust
the volume of the trailers and the main movie feature to handle uneven volume.
*** Important Notes***
Please note, as mentioned previously, these releases are the first time where there
will begin to be differences in features between the Kodi 18 and Kodi 19+ versions
of the Mezzmo Kodi Addon. Feature differences will continue to grow and the Kodi
18 version of the addon will soon become bug fix only updates through the end
of 2024.
v1.2.0.0 Kodi 18
• Fixed very minor bug where the no bookmark condition for music files was not being
detected properly.
• Added Information context menu item to TV Trailer and Movie Trailer channels. Now
you can see the full information about the underlying movie from either the context
menu or the I (information) key for these Mezzmo trailer channels.
• Fixed Mezzmo record count calculation error in the summary reporting
• Added automatic Kodi sync detection of Mezzmo live streams like IP Cameras, IP Video
streams, OTA tuners etc..
• Added option to the Mezzmo Context menu for TV Show episodes to provide a listing
of all TV episodes in the series and launch playback.
• Moved the Export Data from Database settings option from the settings Content
Control tab to the Diagnostics tab.
• Added duplicate detection for nosync videos so you can easily find duplicate Mezzmo
entries that you do not sync to Kodi (i.e. home videos, custom metadata etc..)
v2.2.0.0 Kodi 19+
• Fixed very minor bug where the no bookmark condition for music files was not being
detected properly.
• Added Information context menu item to TV Trailer and Movie Trailer channels. Now
you can see the full information about the underlying movie from either the context
menu or the I (information) key for these Mezzmo trailer channels.
• Fixed Mezzmo record count calculation error in the sync summary reporting
• Added automatic Kodi sync detection of Mezzmo live streams like IP Cameras, IP Video
streams, OTA tuners etc..
• Added option to the Mezzmo Context menu for TV Show episodes to provide a listing
of all TV episodes in the series and launch playback.
• Moved the Export Data from Database settings option from the settings Content
Control tab to the Diagnostics tab.
• Added duplicate detection for nosync videos so you can easily find duplicate Mezzmo
entries that you do not sync to Kodi (i.e. home videos, custom metadata etc..)
• Added feature to allow setting the playback volume for both trailers and the main
movie when using Mezzmo Movie Previews. This allows you to tailor the settings so
that the trailers and the main movie play at the same volume.
• Added Native Mode tab option setting option to only sync from Mezzmo and display
with Kodi a single studio vs. a list of studios. This is to support some Kodi
skins which can only handle a single studio.
• Bumped video database support to Kodi 21 Beta 3 for Kodi native sync. Beta 2 not
supported for native sync just GUI mode.
If you have version 1.1.4.4 or 2.1.4.4 installed (or higher) and automatic updates
are enabled this update will be automatic over the next 24 hrs. Otherwise please
use the links below for manual installation.
There are separate links for the Kodi 18 and Kodi 19 versions. The Kodi 18 version is based upon the
latest Kodi 19 v2.2.0.0 code.

Feedback and feature requests are always welcome. I would like to understand how many of you use
the addon to play music from Mezzmo ? Also I am interested in whether folks would like the option to
sync live channels to Kodi in native mode. They would have to be added as a movie entry in the Kodi
database since live streams don't have a their own Kodi database. For now they are available in GUI
mode within the Mezzmo Kodi addon where you can vie them right from the Mezzmo server.
You feedback is used to help guide future feature development.

For any of you helping with testing the upcoming Kodi 21 Omega release and running the beta 3 version
of code, you may have noticed that the actor/actress search no longer works with the latest version
of the Mezzmo Kodi addon, v2.2.0.0.
I have posted a new test version 2.2.0.0b which fixes this issue and will later become the official
v2.2.0.1 release. This issue is caused by Team Kodi introducing a new feature called Kodi Movie Version,
which is very similar to the existing Mezzmo Kodi addon Movie Collections feature but is limited to
stand-alone Kodi instances. This new feature requires an additional table to be populated for movie
searches via the Kodi information panel.
The 2.2.0.0b release now populates the new Kodi feature but every movie will currently be a standard
edition as there is no mapping currently available between Mezzmo and the various Kodi Movie Version
types (i.e. Standard Edition, Extended Edition etc..). If there is enough interest in the future I will be
happy to explore some type of mapping schema (i.e. movie title or Mezzmo keyword to movie version
etc..) and similar, which could allow centrally managing Kodi Movie Versions.
Note that there are a few other updates in this 2.2.0.0b test release:
• Moved Only Show Mezzmo Servers addon setting from the View tab to the Timers & Servers
tab to align with the Only Discover Mezzmo Servers addon setting.
• Modified Mezzmo set playcount and bookmark calls to honor Mezzmo server timeout setting
vs. being hardcoded to 60 seconds.
• Added Search tab option to limit the number of returned Mezzmo search results between
25-500. The default is 100 results.
• Fixed obscure search bug where too many returned results would generate a Mezzmo server
not responding error before presenting the search results.
• Increased the maximum number of movies, episodes or music videos that can be in a Mezzmo
or Kodi collection from 100 to 1000 items. This will now support TV Shows with a large
number of episodes to be included with related movies into a single collection.
• Fixed actor search not displaying movies when running Kodi 21 Beta 3 and higher. This
was caused by the Kodi video database Movie View now requiring the videoversion table
to be populated in order to support the upcoming Kodi Movie Version new feature.
The official 2.2.0.1 release is schedule for some time in March.
Thanks,
Jeff

An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.2.0.1) and
Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.1) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
number of new features and bug fixes. Focus continued on hardening the Kodi sync
code and fixing a couple of obscure bugs. Included is a new feature, Mezzmo
Maximum Playcount, which provides a unique way to centrally manage your
playcounts with Mezzmo with the Mezzmo. You only need to enable this feature
on one Kodi instance and it will manage ensuring your playcounts stay where you
want across all Kodi and non-Kodi clients. I do recommend upgrading to Mezzmo
version 6.0.7.22 or higher before enabling this feature. Version 2.2.0.1 fixes an
issue caused by the Kodi Movie Version feature added in Kodi 21 beta 3 which
broke actor / actress searches.

tab to align with the Only Discover Mezzmo Servers addon setting.
• Modified Mezzmo set playcount and bookmark calls to honor Mezzmo server timeout setting
vs. being hardcoded to 60 seconds.
• Added Mezzmo sync server socket timeout detection to avoid exception error when Mezzmo
sync server doesn't respond within an adequate time when checking the Mezzmo version.
• Fixed obscure search bug where too many returned results would generate a Mezzmo server
not responding error before presenting the search results.
• Increased the maximum number of movies, episodes or music videos that can be in a Mezzmo
or Kodi collection from 100 to 1000 items. This will now support TV Shows with a large
number of episodes to be included with related movies into a single collection.
• Reduced duplicate media and metadata change logging to the Kodi logfile to align with
the logging reduction feature added in v1.1.9.9
• Fixed very obscure bug where multiple file table entries could occur for the same video
if the only match was the underlying stream URL and no other metadata. Added additional
check for file table name only matching to avoid duplicates. This also avoids multiple
Kodi database entries with different names all pointing to the same video file.
v2.2.0.1 Kodi 19+
• Moved Only Show Mezzmo Servers addon setting from the View tab to the Timers & Servers
tab to align with the Only Discover Mezzmo Servers addon setting.

• Added Mezzmo maximum playcount setting to automatically adjust excessive playcount
values to either not played, a playcount of 1 or based upon whether the video file has
been previously played or not.
• Fixed very obscure bug where multiple file table entries could occur for the same video
if the only match was the underlying stream URL and no other metadata. Added additional

Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.2) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
few bug fixes and logging enhancements. Focus continues on hardening the Kodi sync

duplicate file log entries were attempted to be written during the daily sync process.
