chef 3746 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Okay, I'm going to release another version which changes the UI to be a little more clear as to what those options do. I apologize, I can the code the stuff, but I am not every good at styling, layout or explainations about the code. This is why I usually pair up with frontend guys who enjoy styling. Let me see if I can get GPT to help me put better field descriptions in on the options, and also get my layout more user friendly. Look for another update shortly.

I would disagree there @chef - the Introskip Editor was (and still is) a very nice layout/style .. But yea, some folks are good at design, others good at coding - others like myself are good at neither .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems to ignore if i set content type to movie or tv show, as i have movies and i also see tv shows in the recommendations. @chefYeah maybe that was all it needed, as I tried to get a new shorter log for you (after this mornings shutdown) it just went through and all looks pretty. 6 hours ago, Junglejim said: Personally I'd like to see movies and tvshows split and not merged together. ... Just replace the country (Australia) with Emby. +1000 On my mind I have something like Users All-Time Favorites (mixed and manually) Top Picks Movies Top Picks TV Shows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3746 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Almost done with the changes, You will be able to choose content type for the engagement task. Limit to a type, or both. As for splitting up tv and movies into two top pick libraries. I hear ya! I think that is a great idea. But, we have to remember the more libraries we create which point to existing items in other libraries the more duplicating we get in the continue watching row. When there has been conditions added to the continue watching list, which makes it DistinctBy: names and production years of items it is placing in there, instead of just item playstate. I'll add this immediately. Remember, the feature request is to use DistinctBy item.Name and item.ProductionYear in the continue watching list.

chef 3746 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 .37 is up. Allows users to choose between the two media types (Movies/TV Shows) to build the list. Some UI changes to make options more clear to the user. There are a couple little bits that could be updated, like when choosing media type in the engagement task options, it could hide/show the library options. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ninko, I'm not sure I completely follow. Can you take a screen shot of where you are seeing "Specials"? We might be reading a Virtual Folder that you have named "Specials", but I just want to make sure I'm understanding what it is you are seeing so I can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninko 64 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 This is what I see when I go to the Top Picks library. This is what I see when I go to Special's (2011) Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next question would be, is "Specials 2011" a movie in your collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninko 64 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 @chefAfriad not, no. I can only assume it's a special from a series that had been watched, other then that, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some shows like "Archer (2009)" have intermittent special episodes that air outside the series. I'm not entirely sure why the series didn't show up there... But, it does... so we are going to handle this with code. Give me a moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwarthen 0 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 It would be nice to have an option to exclude already watched items. Just a suggestion for a future feature addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2499 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 hi chef - 2 things: have you made any changes that should allow me to have the top picks update task running simultaneously to the standard scan library task. i wasnt quite sure from your previous comments i mentioned previously that this isnt working as you intend. thats still the case - while it may only be including items from my "Movies" movie library and not the other three movie libraries that i have, its not excluding items of type Movie from all the mixed content libraries that i have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3746 Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 .38 is ready. The task waits for library scan to complete before running. Top picks ignores anything in the library with the name "Specials". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have expected that by setting the Parent IDs in the query that it would only show from that library. Unless, somehow by only selecting the movie and not the tv show it is somehow letting items through. Could that be it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Yup! Found the reason why mixed content folders were being added. Tricky tricky stuff there. Can't do one query for both types of media when targeting a specific library because you end up telling the query it's okay to look for items in any folder (when series is unchecked), but because you also want movies (which are in the same folder as series) would return that folder. Separate queries for each type did the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
