    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.

    Kodi 19+ link

    Click on the download source as a zip option and then to add it to Kodi by using the install from zip file option.


    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.


    Thanks,

    Jeff

    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.


    *** 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

    v1.2.0.1 Kodi 18

    • 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 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.
    • 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

    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.
    • Reduced duplicate media and metadata change logging to the Kodi logfile to align with
    the logging reduction feature added in v2.1.9.9
    • 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
    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.

    An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.2.0.2) and
    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
    code and streamlining logging. I hadn't planned to publish a new release this soon but
    felt the sync process fixes shouldn't be delayed.

    v1.2.0.2 Kodi 18

    • Modified secondary dupe check introduced in v1.2.0.1 which could cause race condition
    between multiple duplicate entry checks and sync would fail.
    • Fixed a bug where an empty actor / actress field could cause a sync failure
    • Bug fix which was causing a database lock condition for the logging database when certain
    duplicate file log entries were attempted to be written during the daily sync process.
    • Improved error handling when the logging database is locked and an another attempt to
    write to it occurs.
    • Disabled metadata and stream details change detection logging during the fast sync process
    to reduce kodi.log and log database excessive writing.


    v2.2.0.2 Kodi 19+

    • Modified secondary dupe check introduced in v2.2.0.1 which could cause race condition
    between multiple duplicate entry checks and sync would fail.

    Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.3) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain a
    few bug fixes. My apologies for the 1.2.0.2 / 2.2.0.2 releases where insufficient
    testing was performed prior to pushing out those updates.

    v1.2.0.3 Kodi 18

    • Improved accuracy of Kodi record count for sync stats. Previously it would double
    count a video file which was played from a playlist and a folder.
    • Fixed bug caused by 1.2.0.2 where newly added empty actor check was causing actor
    and actress images not to be displayed.


    v2.2.0.3 Kodi 19+

    • Improved accuracy of Kodi record count for sync stats. Previously it would double
    count a video file which was played from a playlist and a folder.
    • The Only Show Mezzmo Servers addon setting accidentally got moved back to the View
    Tab in version 2.2.0.2. It has been moved back to the Timers & Servers tab.
    • Fixed bug caused by 2.2.0.2 where newly added empty actor check was causing actor
    and actress images not to be displayed.

    An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for both Kodi v18 (v1.2.0.5) and
    Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.5) have been posted on GitHub. These versions contain
    a bug fix and a new feature which allows displaying folder and playlist fanart / backdrops
    from Mezzmo. Note that not all Kodi skins support this and some provide their
    own.


    *** Important Notes***

    v1.2.0.5 Kodi 18

    • Added new setting to select folder / playlist backdrop source or None. Previously
    only the generic addon backdrop was used. Now the Mezzmo playlist / folder backdrops
    can be selected for display. The default setting is Mezzmo. Addon was the previous
    default behavior with prior versions of the addon.


    v2.2.0.5 Kodi 19+

    • Fixed minor bug where improperly and formatted actor list entry from Mezzmo or UPnP
    server could cause an exception error with Kodi 20 and higher. The performance stats
    would not display for the playlist. This was due to a zero length actor entry.
    These entries will be ignored now but a message will be added to the Mezzmo addon
    logging facility to indicate an issue.
    • Added new setting to select folder / playlist backdrop source or None. Previously

    and version 1.2.0.6 may be the final release.


    v1.2.0.6 Kodi 18

    • Removed Mezzmo Unknown Actor entry, when a video entry does not have any actors,
    from syncing to the Kodi database.


    v2.2.0.6 Kodi 19+

    • Fixed issue caused by path table behavior change in Kodi 21 where information
    panel for TV Episodes was not working in some instances using Kodi native mode.

    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.


    Thanks,

    Jeff

    You may have noticed there was no new Mezzmo Kodi Addon update for July but I am targeting a new release for August. It will be the first Kodi 19+ only release (i.e. no update for the Kodi 18 version). A couple of new features have been proposed on the Wiki which are the focus of the August release.

    Here's the current list of features planned for August:

    • Add support for PNG actor and other artwork. Currently artwork is limited to JPG artwork.
    • New feature Kodi Additional Artwork which adds support for many additional Kodi artwork types (i.e. clearlogo, clearart, keyart etc..) without rescraping your library.
    • New feature Enhanced Media Descriptions which allows displaying additional metadata like the Last Played time and Play Counter without making skin modifications. See here for an example.


    The PNG support capability and Kodi Additional Artwork feature will require the new Mezzmo 6.0.7.25 patch which can be requested from Mezzmo Support.

    Your feedback for these features is very welcome in helping guide further development.


    Thanks,

    Jeff

    An updated version of the Mezzmo Kodi addon for Kodi v19+ (v2.2.0.7) has been
    posted on GitHub. This version contains a few key new enhancements and some
    other minor updates.


    *** Important Notes***

    Please note, as mentioned previously, 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 is now bug fix only updates.
    Version 2.2.0.7 is the first Kodi 19 release without a corresponding Kodi 18 version.

    A new Wiki page Managing Your Artwork has been added to assist with better
    utilizing all of the artwork management capabilities between Mezzmo and the
    Mezzmo Kodi Addon. This Wiki page should provide a number of tips, techniques
    and information on how to streamline artwork management. Feedback is welcomed/


    v2.2.0.7 Kodi 19+

    • Added support for PNG artwork with Mezzmo servers. Requires Mezzmo v6.0.7.25 .
    • Added detection for missing Mezzmo artwork when syncing with Kodi. Now a sync
    log entry will be generated indicating missing artwork.
    • Added support for Kodi additional artwork like clearlogo, clearart, banners and
    more leveraging the UserPoster feature. Currently limited to movies.
    • Added enhanced description option which will prepend the Last Played Date / Time
    and playcount to the media item description.
    • Moved some log entries which were being written to the general log file to their
    proper sync log database.
    • Continued the Kodi logfile reduction effort by writing them to the addon general
    and sync logs.


    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
    Kodi 19 v2.2.0.6 code.
