EmbyCon

EmbyCon is a lightweight Kodi addon that lets you browse and play media files from your Emby server directly within your beloved Kodi interface.

The key difference with its sibling Emby for Kodi addon is that EmbyCon does not perform any heavy synchronization between Kodi and the Emby server: instead, it requests, fetches and caches all the information it needs from the server on demand.
