Watch History - An Emby Channel Plugin

[Cheesegeezer 3087]

it's really bizarre... I would like to understand the update channels mechanism better..... something isn't wired up right on emby side.

Why would only 1 user update the name? hmmmmmmm

Soemthing is off there, as your episode should have Air Date as dd/mm/yyyy, not Year, as well as title should be SxxEyy: Title, not only Title. It appears as all the episodes get interpreted as movies, as those are movie templates: Release Year and Title without S/E in it.

oooooo nice one... I think you are onto something.

We can do some cheeky tests

You don't say. 

[Cheesegeezer 3087]

Right i might need to assert what to do with the item by Type.  You can keep jotting ideas here.  I need to get those bits done first and then i'll be back.

Hows this?

[GrimReaper 3308]

Minor issue with movies: not all external links carried over (only Trakt), everything else does.

Oh nice.

new version V 0.1.0.1 is up on first thread

1. Add options for hidden users - please test this, i think my logic is correct
2. Add options to set Display Limit - Default 100

foreach (var user in users)
            {
                if (user.Policy.IsHidden && config.ShowHiddenUsers)
                {
                    //Here we are creating the Categories.
                    var userCategory = await CreateCategoryInfo(user);
                    items.Add(userCategory);
                }
                if (user.Policy.IsHidden && !config.ShowHiddenUsers)
                {
                    Log.Info("User: {0} is Hidden and will not be created");
                }
                else
                {
                    var userCategory = await CreateCategoryInfo(user);
                    items.Add(userCategory);
                }

            }

completely forgot about the imageTypes.  I'll get on with that and update the DLL.

@Cheesegeezer Is it possible to set the limit to unlimited?

                }

            }

 

Getting all users visible - and hidden ones duplicated. Also, non-hidden ones title did not change.

 

Also tested with 2000 items, task itself took relatively quickly, 3:42

With 15ish-20 % CPU/Disk usage

Which continued for another 10ish minutes upon task itself complete, I assume cacheing images for those 100,000+ entries.

Unistalled, restarted, Refresh channel task run.

Reinstalled, restarted, channel task ran automatically.

And still seeing doubled hidden users, but the syntax for non-hidden is in order now.

There's even more now. Come.

[Cheesegeezer 3087]

Ok Fellas!!

0.1.0.2 has been Posted. 

1. Fixes Episode info
2. Fixes Movie info
3. Fixes Item Links
4. Option to enable Limits, if switch off, will retrieve EVERTHING since the dawn of time.
5. Hopefully fixed the User Duplications
6. Still not sure on the reliability of the filter for lastplayed date...  more testing and investigation required.

It appears to me that there is no dynamic refresh built for channels.  Looks like a 1 time grab and cache when the channel is first installed.  

At worst case you may need to follow these instruction to force changes and force the fixes above.

1.  uninstall plugin.
2. Restart.
3. Run channel task,
4. Reinstall,
5. restart and
6. run channel task

Let me know the results and thanks everyone for your input and help, it really goes a long way to help build a useful tool for the community

[GrimReaper 3308]

AFK for few hours, will give it a spin once back home.

0.1.0.2 has been Posted.

Gave a run to 0.1.0.2, great to see some progress visible, nice work, Cheesy.  On to some pending issues still:

2 hours ago, Cheesegeezer said:

1. Fixes Episode info

Episode titles are now correctly picked-up, SxxExx visible in the title:

 

However, parent series, Date Played and Playes are still NOT picked-up:

 

Resulting in:

(no PG rating also; already known no logo and no backdrop, likely back to no parent series issue, as those are both Series items)

As opposed to:

 

And major issue present: all same SxxExx episodes get multi-versioned (likely due to same issue mentioned: no parent series and being interpreted as movies):

Thought that's Watch History plugin not playing nice with Auto-organize, deinstalled Auto Organize and repeated process from scratch: remove Watch history, restart, refresh channels, reinstall Watch history, restart, refresh channels - no joy.

2. Fixes Movie info

No issues observed with movies, but besides external links there were none to begin with.

 

2 hours ago, Cheesegeezer said:

3. Fixes Item Links

Yup, all present, see 2.

 

2 hours ago, Cheesegeezer said:

4. Option to enable Limits, if switch off, will retrieve EVERTHING since the dawn of time.

Not daring to test Unlimited, keeping it on 100 and while the task itself took only few minutes (3), ffprobing afterwards took considerable time, roughly 30 minutes (47 users x 100 = 4700 items), during which time majority of episode names nor item years nor movie backdrops get populated but it is done gradually, which might give impression to some users that something is off, maybe do not complete progress bar until actual work is done?

 

3 hours ago, Cheesegeezer said:

5. Hopefully fixed the User Duplications

Yep, nice one, both number of users, title syntax and thumbs are correct.

 

3 hours ago, Cheesegeezer said:

6. Still not sure on the reliability of the filter for lastplayed date...  more testing and investigation required.

And you are right, still a no-go, Movies get sorted first having Date Played, episodes lag behind having NO Date played nor Plays, as mentioned above.

 

All in all, you're slowly getting there.

Cheers

Hi @Cheesegeezer some nice progress. As stated above by @GrimReaper I'm also seeing the same.

For me personally the "Display Limit - Default 100" is too much, I'd like to set this as low as 10 or maybe the last four weeks or as low as the last week. (unlimited crazy )

I know some will disagree with this but these virtual libs come with there own set of problems as far as the library as a whole goes.

Great work as always mate.

you know you can just type a number in the limit box and then click outside of it and it will save that value. 
 

but… i do like the idea of displaying the last #days, Weeks, months.
