pünktchen 1264 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Okay, now that the live tv plugins only act as tuner, i thought just give a emby a chance. On what happens? The first one off recording of the movie Bad Times at the El Royale and Emby records it as a series?! And that although the genre and the Emby category are both Movie?! Oh man, that is so disapointing, so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37311 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 What's the guide data source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37311 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 If it's tuner guide data coming from mediaportal, I'm pretty sure this is due to the hacking of program data by setting IsSeries=true on everything. That should be removed there will be things checking that value and expecting it to be accurate. At least set it to false when you know that it's a movie. This was done a long time ago for reasons that are no longer applicable today, and keyword based recordings are going to land very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that is because the series schedule button in Emby is depending on either IsSeries or IndexNumber. With DVB epg you don't get episode numbers or something that tells you the program is a series. How to create a series schedule in Emby then without setting all to IsSeries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking the opposite question - why did you expect Emby to treat it as anything other than a series when you were forcing everything to say it was a series?

emveepee 112 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) We were forced to because of this issue in Live TV plugins since the backends don't need this flag Edited May 29, 2022 by emveepee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punktchen started this thread stating that Emby's logic was "so disappointing, so bad" but Emby was doing exactly what it was told to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emveepee 112 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I expect the disappointment would be with old style plugins it worked and the functionality is now lost. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Absolutely! With the old style plugins it didn't matter for the recording in the backend if something in the Emby guide was marked with IsSeries. It only had an impact to the availabilty of the series schedule button in Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm repeating myself. I expect Emby to allow us to create series schedules without any precondition on the guide data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pünktchen 1264 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Are you kidding me? Do you even read what i've posted? I expect that the system doesn't need a qualifier to allow series schedules then i would never set IsSeries to all program data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37311 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Quote I expect that the system doesn't need a qualifier to allow series schedules You're right. You should be able to record everything as a series, mostly. I'm just not sure that using the data to accomplish this by pretending everything is a series is the right way to do it. (Or maybe it is). It's something that needs review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
