kjhedges 54 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Well, that didnt take as long as I thought it would, and we have good news here. Populated and displaying perfectly. I appreciate your work put into this. A great plugin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemy 9 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Is there a way to prevent the top pick item from displaying twice in 'continue watching' or still no workarounds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander3768 15 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Hello, Has anyone else had an issue where your top picks library user access is not working using the updated plugin version? I uninstalled the top picks plugin and removed the dir under /var/lib/emby/data/top-picks (since it didn't remove itself after uninstalling the plugin) scanned library restarted emby installed top picks plugin restarted emby verified proper permissions are set on top-picks dir scanned library set movies for top picks updated top picks and ran the library scan again movie cover art displays the "top pick" image and the dir /var/lib/emby/data/top-picks contains the directories for the movies However now when I set Top Picks "Enable All Users" it shows the library for users but the library says "No items found". I noticed on the Users > Access page, the Top Picks library is checked however the path is not checked. When I put a check mark there & save, it doesn't save that was checked and in fact removes the check mark for the Top Picks library all together & removes it from all of my users as simultaneously at the same time. I tried again with "Enable All Users" disabled, then going to Users > Access and checking both, and again, it does not remember my checked settings no matter what I try to do. I watched the log file with tail -f /var/lib/emby/logs/embyserver.txt while doing this process and it appeared to be working properly creating the filepaths and such without spitting any errors in the process. I rebooted the entire server, did another library scan while watching the logs & still have the same results. Is there something simple I might be missing here? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we calculate engagement stats on media item community ratings, as well as what has been watched between users on the server, it is absolutely possible to have the list generate the same thing repeatedly. Give it a couple days, by that point new items will have been added, and users will have watched items as well. That should change the stats, and a new list will list likely be generated. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After selecting the option to set top picks for all users, if you run the scheduled task again, does the library populated correctly? Thank you for your time and patience.

Zander3768 15 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Quote After selecting the option to set top picks for all users, if you run the scheduled task again, does the library populated correctly? yes. It does actually. I just experimented myself with creating my own library manually and using the top-picks filepath. I am able to see all of the top picks movies in there but not the library created by the plugin (if that makes sense). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander3768 15 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 @chefI got it working. So i did something similar to what I just did a minute ago. I just deleted the library Top Picks, Recreated a library titled Top Picks, ran the "update top picks" and a library scan and its working. I'm thinking maybe the library was just left over still from the previous install of the plugin & for some reason didn't get fully in-sync somewhere with the updates. But it is working now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkseidd 58 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 would like to ask successful tester out there - does top pick still list down all episodes for tv shows? example Law & Order SVU..it have 500+ episodes, generating top picks for L & O will take hellalot minutes previously, because top picks parsing every single episode in the top picks library.

Yes it does - it needs to create a strm file for every episode. So for a long running, multi season show such as Law & Order - making that a top pick may take a while .. I've also just noticed that it's not doing this properly anyway - it appears to be repeating Season 1... ? @chefis there a way to link to just the 'show' or better still maybe just the 'season' and point to only the first episode in that season ? As an example, new season of Halo is available - so I select to Halo Season 2 as the Top Pick - which actually points to just s02e01 - which should be enough anyway. Once a user has selected a TV show 'top pick' then it will appear in their 'continue watching anyway' so they can continue watching that way ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicken 15 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hey, thank you very much for your efforts, things are working again for me now. I just don't fully understand the setting options yet. How do the three hooks have to be set correctly so that I only take into account what I see and not. So that no new films appear in the list that no one has seen yet. Is my selection here correct?

Hopefully I'm wrong but if this plugin is based on what I think it is (trailers) it would need a file to play not a folder. Maybe @chef? If not that's all good.

Hopefully I'm wrong but if this plugin is based on what I think it is (trailers) it would need a file to play not a folder. Maybe @chef? If not that's all good. Correct, you would have to point to the episodes in just that season - but after that, top picks (for TV series) serves no further purpose because you are already watching it (assumed you clicked play) and it would appear in your 'continue watching' row. Showing only an individual Season would also be great - because you could 'top pick' a new Season of an existing show. So taking an extreme example - Law and Order SVU - now in it's 25th Season - I actually want to top pick Season 25 only, I don't want to just highlight the entire show. If people want to watch from s01e01 - they can of course just click the show to do that. Edited February 22 by rbjtech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would solve a lot of the complicated logic you have and I’d assume most people just want the most downloaded watched weekly lists. It’s really easy to do with the trakt api and you have the logic to make the channels you just match by the IMDb/tvdbid. I did something similar for collections using the mdb api. Since luke said making channels was bad for the database as it duplicates the entries and such. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
