overview

Emby sync module overview (capabilities, setup links, and matching notes).

This is the Emby sync module used by the orchestrator. It is not the setup/auth guide.

Start at: Emby module.

What it supports

This module can sync:

• Watchlist

• History

Feature semantics live here:

• Watchlist (engine-level)

• History (engine-level)

Setup links

• Auth: Emby

• Adapter: Emby

Matching notes

Emby often lacks strong external IDs.

That makes CrossWatch matching noisier.

Best practice:

• keep your Emby metadata agents set up

• ensure items have IMDb/TMDb/TVDb IDs where possible

Common gotchas

• Watchlist is emulated (favorites/playlist/collections).

• Library scoping changes what “exists” to the module.

• Writes can be eventually consistent.

• If IDs are missing, two-way sync can get risky.
