Junglejim 351 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 @chef personally I think you should ask for a paypal reg for your "New releases" plugin too. I think the community would be more than willing to help out. Just my opinion.. I know it's already out in the wild but that could be changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 851 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 If we just manually fill this out, is the order set, or can the plugin randomise it from there? I'm guessing there's no way to have it at the top of the home screen without also having it at the start of the My Media section, which isn't ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can toggle the option to overwrite user defined options. This way if you manually fill out the list, and have that toggle selected, the next time the user engagement task is run, it will overwrite items in the list. Or, create the list manually, then make sure to un-pin the items you want to have change. 18 minutes ago, crusher11 said: I'm guessing there's no way to have it at the top of the home screen without also having it at the start of the My Media section, which isn't ideal.

Sorry, I meant have the plugin randomise the order, but have the titles within the library be specifically defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I think there's going to be more opportunities to build cool plugins for emby that might be worth a buck or two. For instance, what if there was way to build a deep learning algorithm based on a training set of over 27,000 movies, and over 100 000 uses ratings, that could recommend items in your library, to your users that might be better then the recommendation system currently being used?

For me, Personally select Movies i want my users to see as a top pick. if i don't fill the list then i can run the engagement to fill up the rest of the slots. i can review what engagement has suggested and reorder the list if i so wish in the UI.

Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 hey chef - couple of questions on how this works with regards to library user restrictions and parental rating controls. in the plugin config does the movie list represent every media item that is of type movie 1) whether or not its in a movie library and 2) whether the user setting up the plugin has access to all libraries or not. reason why i ask is i think i see some items that are in mixed content libraries and in libraries that are disabled for that user is the top picks list filtered by age rating if the user viewing the library in the front end has a restricted user profile?

If there are restrictions on an account, the top picks will be filtered. In that case the user with restrictions will not see the entire list. This may also result in top picks skipping a numbered item. It may show: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 etc. Where 3 is left out because of parental controls.

Spaceboy 2493 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 are these virtual items that the plugin creates? because if i click on the play button i just get a spinning circle, if i click on the thumb image i just get a black screen and i notice that the url in the address bar is different from the url for the same movie in my movie library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each item has their own databaseid so you have duplication of the items in the database. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might take an extra moment while Emby initializes playback simply because it has to follow the path back. Looking forward to seeing the log. Thanks!

Thanks! ok - i started the server and my guide refresh task runs automatically. once it completed i ran the update top picks task. i see the virtual items where you indicate on disk. i see them on the home screen and in the top picks library. but clicking on any of the thumbnails just results in a black screen and clicking play from the thumbnail just results in spinning circle. i tried to play top gun maverick - hopefully you can see that in the log. one other bit of info that may be relevant - each of my top picks has both a 4K and 1080p version. they are in separate folders on disk but in the same library and grouped by the auto movie version collections plugin log attached embyserver(11).txt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auch nur um das hinzuzufügen, diesmal konnte ich das "echte" Bibliothekselement mit einem coolen "Top Picks" -Tag markieren, um zu zeigen, dass es in beiden verfügbar ist. Is there a reason why you are deviating from the actual presentation? I would either show it as a num. Top Pick or leave it unchanged. How do you see it?

As long as items are not grouped, virtual Top Pick items play normally (and there's standard duplication in Continue Watching row). Once Auto-grouping plugin installed, it's spinning circle only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
