So far it hasn't generated any "picks", so I added some manually. However, I noticed a problem with the image of a series in the top picks in the continue watching section. The TV show appears twice, first with an image that can't be loaded, and then with the correct one. I tested with all episodes of the series and the problem persists. Please check this screenshot. Thank you! Edit: disabling the render top pick over primary image option fixes it. However, it's still a bit annoying that the same item shows twice in the continue watching section. Thanks for the feedback. So the items that were missing a top picks thumb image showed up after disabling the top pick flag? That's interesting. I'm wondering if perhaps you may have viewed the hone page prior to the library scan completing. There unfortunately isn't much we can do about the continue watching duplication, at the moment. However, the moment there is the ability to fix this, it will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also chef is aware of the engagement task not rendering results and said he would push a fix tonight or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we'll take the most watched item (popular) this will include series at top level. If you binge a series the weight count still only counts as 1 for the series. Not 1 for each episode. Then those values are organized by critic rating. The watch status is calculate based on the week. Since that is when the engagement task is set to refresh the list. Because the top picks refresh task needs access to the library refresh, the engagement task will not run the top picks refresh if a library scan is currently running. Instead, the list will only refresh the next time it is possible to run the top picks refresh task. Although, the list will be viewable from the configuration page, the clients won't have access to it until the top picks refresh runs. I hope that has made sense. Look for the update at so e point tomorrow, or late tonight. sounds great, does this mean it is a per user top pick or will it be a global for every user the same top picks? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, has it been watched in the last 7 days? If yes, place the series in a list and give it a value. With regards to TV shows, a cool thing starts to happen, when you binge watch a series. The values start to accumulate weight. When all your users binge a series it will most likely be placed in the number 1 spot. If the episode list was not "binge-able", but all your users watched it. It still accumulates weight, and gets placed in the top pick list. When managing movies, we do the same sort of thing. Is it a movie? Was it watched by a user in the last week? Give it weight! Now we start to see a popularity contest start to evolve out of the statistics. If all the rank positions are available, and the most popular items don't populate the entire list, then we go back to the method of weighing out the highest critic values and populate the remaining slots available.

chef 3746 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 yeah, I just put .36 in the catalog. I looks much better. This list is correct for me, and I do have a user with young kids who watches Bluey all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Top picks contains a series it shows me all the episodes instead of grouping them. Is it a bad configuration on my part? I'll need to know if you are still experiencing this with version .36. I think I fixed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottles51 63 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) @chef the problem i seem to be having now is only tv shows seem to generate. I have movies selected as content type but none show. How do i get only movies? I do have multiple movie library's so I would like to leave movie location blank. Also is it possible to have a setting to have Only Movies Only TV Mix or Both Edited January 4, 2023 by Bottles51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have movies selected as content type but none show. How do i get only movies? I do have multiple movie library's so I would like to leave movie location blank. Hmm... Maybe I need to make the UI clearer. The content type option is to load the list for when you manually add items. There is also an option to ignore libraries during the engagement task but maybe my layout isn't making enough sense. The reason you are seeing tv shows populate would be because the servers users base is watching a lot of tv shows, more then full feature films? I could easily add an option to show either movies or tv or both.... Maybe that's what I should do. But, as far as user engagement goes, the new logic just creates a popularity contest between items. Whatever was watched over the last week ranked by how many users watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottles51 63 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Well in my case you are right most users watch alot of TV shows. I think myself and most my users would like to see Movie suggestions. My users watch things over and over such as Bobs Burgers, Family Guy and American Dad so those will always be there for me. So yes the option to choose Movies , Tv or both would be amazing. Thanks Chef 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPancake 8 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I've got another bug now. One of the movies in top picks isn't very popular, so there aren't many images available. Emby does find a primary image for it, though. However, top picks doesn't add the number next to it and just keeps the regular image. Looking at the logs it seems that top picks tries to find an image and just can't, which is odd.

Yea I only use movies at the moment, admin curated list (I don't use the "User Engagement/Scheduled Tasks" stuff). Personally I'd like to see movies and tvshows split and not merged together. I like the way Netflix does it... Just replace the country (Australia) with Emby. Edited January 4, 2023 by Junglejim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
