Vic Emby.Bulky.dll 332.5 kB · 0 downloads Vic, please attach any subsequent plugin updates in the first post (which you can edit now), preferably (but not mandatory) with version number update and/or changelog/release notes. Edit: If you encounter any issues doing so, you can PM me the dll and/or notes and I'll do it for you, but this practice of sticking updates in the middle of the thread should cease, as it creates confusion both for new users and followers.

GrimReaper 3294 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 We just spoke what should you do with plugin updates, didn't we? Which you did for 1.5 thereafter. Yet here's 1.6 again in the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 @GrimReaperI have been told that driving people crazy is one of my best skills. I am teachable, especially new tricks. I did update the first post as you recommended. I am not sure if I should stop posting the code in other posts. You were not clear on that point. vic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8282 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Yep the conflict of not being in the catalog. These non-catalog plugins to a point need a lock plugin descriptive topic with the plugin and a separate troubleshooting/issues discussion.

VicMoore 558 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 @MBSkiglad that things are working better. When you use the Filter dialogue you are creating an Emby filter string that get appended to the URL I send to the server. The filtering work is all done by the Emby server. I only tell it what to search for. The custom filter is different. The plugin does all of the filtering work. So I can change it to do whatever I want. With it you can search on almost anything.

Thanks for the thought about the custom filter. I'm testing it now, but I don't really understand how I'm supposed to get it to work. So, what I want to do is search for the string (explicit) anywhere in my library. It could be in the title, filename, metadata, ... etc. There is no string search though, and there is no recursive = true option. Also, what do S, E, and C mean?

VicMoore 558 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 @MBSkiin the custom filter click the radio button "one or more true" then for the various item fields that you want to test, select "C" for contains, and put "explicit" in the text field. You can test your filter by clicking the test button. When you are ready to apply the filter to the items on the page where you clicked the "custom" button, you just need to click the apply button.

VicMoore 558 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 @MBSkiwhen you are using the Emby filter (you clicked the filter button) the filter is applied to everything in the folder where you clicked the filter button. It's not applied just to the selected items. The filter doesn't care what's selected. The same is true for the custom filter. The selected items are just used for testing the filter. Another point is that when you use "recursive" you must specify what's to be included in the search and if you like you can also specify what's to be excluded. If you don't do this, Emby will not give you any search results. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1016 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Ok, thanks @VicMoore. So here's my search. I clicked the music library and searched from there. I don't know why it's showing titles when I'm supposed to be searching everything in my music library. Also, as you can see by the results it's only grabbing albums with explicit in the Album title, but it's not grabbing all of them. And, it doesn't grab any songs so there doesn't appear to be any recursive search. It's just searching the albums.

VicMoore 558 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Good morning @MBSkithe custom filter doesn't search recursively. It only applies the filter to the current folder. I use the Emby filter to create a folder with all the items in it that I want to search across. For example, for TV shows I would select the Series I am interested in and then filter on "Recursive" and include "Episodes". Then I would use the "Custom" filter to search across all of the "Episodes" in the folder. Your effort testing these filters is a big help to me. Thanks so much.

At the moment, there's no way to search all the songs. Any idea why the album search didn't return all the items with "explicit"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMoore 558 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 You do the recursive search before you do the custom search - let me try a few things and I will get back with you this afternoon Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
