New Server Plugin: Emby Data Explorer

[softworkz 3338]

Isn't the injection of the menu item currently broken anyway?

[Multiverse 4]

Installation was via Emby WebUI, it is in the Emby plugins folder.

I know I'm really good at missing the obvious, but... thought I'd give it a go. Installed, restarted, no sign of it in menu, clear cache in Firefox according Firefox instructions, no sign of it in plug-ins. Reinstall, it doesn't say it's installed already. No sign of it in menus or plug-ins.

Server log?

I've tried to install it on 4.8.0.51, but after the restart threre is no plugin inside Emby. But it is inside my plugin folder!

BTW: I'm running Emby Server on Debian Bookworm (Stable).

I'm having the same issue as Multiverse. Running the official docker beta version on Unraid. Here is part of my log if it helps...

Just to confirm its not a mistake, has the plugin been removed from the repository for beta users as well?

[Luke 37091]

It’s been pulled for now because it will need to be rebuilt for the 4.8 server.

Luke, I'd like to have this plugin back, please... any outlook as to when this will be updated?

[Luke 37091]

Hi, it’s on the todo list for review. Thanks.

[softworkz 3338]

A new version is available in the catalog now which is compatible with stable releases >= 4. 8.2 and the latest betas!

 

Important: Refresh your browser cache after installation and server restart.

Cool... Thanks for the update ;)

Just having a quick play. Two things -

Maybe its my display / settings, but there's a space down the right that isn't used which would be quite nice

and whenever I click on the Folder icon for backdrops etc it just opens a browser window with 'The Address wasn't Understood' ?

[arrbee99 1560]

...though it occurs to me that I should try without my css

There's a maximum column width. 

For example, in a case with only 2 columns, these would be spread too far across the screen horizontally, so you wouldn't be able to discriminate rows anymore.

You need a browser plugin to open local folders as described earlier in this conversation. Wasn't it even your very own request to make that possible?

Having just installed this for the first time, it looks like it will be a very useful tool for troubleshooting data inconsistencies. On the very first random Music Album that I just tried (out of 1000s) I immediately found a difference between MusicBrainz and Discogs data (Discogs being incorrect). Using this plugin will therefore likely be much faster than having to first check via the individual data provider sites. Great work - well done!!!

Oops. I guess I really need to skim a bit less and actually read a bit more...
