For you guys using emby over Plex - have you tried the plexkodiconnect addon (not plexbmc)? It works exactly like the emby addon for Kodi so you can use any skin (even Kodi 17, which I'm using now).
I used both, emby because I love the integration with Kodi, and plex because all my other devices have plex and it was the easiest way for me to stream to them....now that I'm trying to use plexkodiconnect and wondering if I even need Emby anymore. The thing I miss most about Emby right now is the boxsets - plex doesn't do that, though maybe there's another addon for Kodi that will do it on the client...
