Jdiesel 1113 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm not sure if this would be a server feature or an application feature but I would like the ability to merge all the seasons of a TV series into one view. I currently use Emby Theater and the Android app where I don't see an option to do this. I would like to be able to select a TV show and have it go directly to a list of all the episodes without having to select a season first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdiesel 1113 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah I know...my main system is running Kodi, has been for about 10 years, but I've been trying to make the switch to Emby. I'm aware of the Emby addon for Kodi but it isn't what I'm looking for. Maybe once skinning support is added to Emby Theater this will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14902 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 That would be an app feature. EMC can do it too but I don't imagine that is what you want either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I don't have any complaints against the plugin itself, it was more due to wanting to utilize MadVR in Emby theater which is what brought me over to the Emby ecosystem. The Kodi addon is currently the only way to get a proper HTPC going on a Linux based PC with Emby Server and I appreciate all the work you put into it. Once the DSPlayer build of Kodi matures a bit more I may experiment with a Emby/Kodi MadVR setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianW 1052 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 A single season list is long enough already, I can't see why anyone would want to merge all seasons together. Can someone explain what the benefit is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Binge watch many episodes, Play all from here, quick playlist/shuffle access. At least that why I use it in Kodi lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain what the benefit is? Yeah, really not something I can even imagine using but no harm in a client supporting it if that client's users request. Just as long as it's never a default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW 1052 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 OK - makes sense, I suppose. But, I agree that it should never be the default view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk BTW, play all, shuffle all and play from first unwatched can still be done in most of our apps by simply hitting the Play button on the Series. You don't have to produce a single list of them in the interface for that. In EMC, I still break them down by Season but they are in collapsible lists so it is easier to manage on a single screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdiesel 1113 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have gotten accustomed to doing it this way in Kodi. It is especially helpful if you are looking for a certain episode but are unsure of what season it is from. I agree that this would not be a default view but instead a checkbox that users can opt in. I also like it because it means one less menu you have to navigate before playing the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewisesva 1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Available with Emby for Kodi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk So how is this available through the Kodi for Emby plugin. I see no options. My current setup has TV Series coming form local drives (rips, recorded TV) and then also from online (via playon). WIthin Emby I have a library called 'local TV Series' and one called 'Online TV Series'. I have combined them into a Kodi playlist BUT the series are listed twice if both local and online have some seasons/episodes. Before I switched to Emby, Kodi combined these itself into one TV Series name. I'll keep looking but didn;t see anything immediate to have the Kodi for Emby plugin do this. Cheers, Tony.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 @@thewisesva A lot has changed since august 2015 This is no longer offered. The shows are considered individual series, because that's the way emby works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewisesva 1 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks @@Angelblue05 for the info. Understood. Shame from my viewpoint as Kodi native does a better job of combining these into one. I am not sure why functionally Emby would split them out -- they are the SAME TV series but from different sources. Oh well, I'll see if it really matters over time ... Thanks again.

Angelblue05 4130 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 You could always just use a pooling solution. I personally use Drive pool and don't have to deal with this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraevin 1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I would love to see this added as a feature I currently use Netdrive as one of my media source drives with 2 folders one that is TV Shows (Archive) and Another with TV Shows (Current Season). And Drive pooling does not work with it. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibboleth 13 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I would use this feature RELIGIOUSLY to show all episodes in one list. I would then "sort by TheTVDB rating" or "sort by IMDB rating" so I could see the highest rated episodes in an entire series. A super useful feature for series that have 8 or 9 seasons.
