neik 837 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Am I blind or isn't this available in the catalog? Given that quite a few people are using it and apparently it's stable, it would be great to have it there to receive possible updates instantly and not having to check for them and side-load them. @MikePlanet, have you already requested to get it there? @Luke, could you help here please?

rbjtech 4255 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 15 hours ago, M3th0s said: Yes, if all versions of a movie are under a folder, then emby will group them and it'll show a single movie view. However without this addon, if they are in different folder, say 1080p and 4k, then emby will show 2 movie posters. With this plugin, it'll show 1 movie poster, then you can use granular folder permissions to give users access to both folders or just one depending on their device/connection capabilities. Hope this makes sense? A further question if I may. Do the users without permission get to see the alternative versions in the list for which they have no access to ? if yes, and they try and play that version - does it reject gracefully ? I'm keen to try this as I have a separate 4K library due to permissions but don't want users complaining they can't play the 4K Remux remotely !

Thanks This was an issue initially but got fixed (thanks @Luke!). So if under folder permissions you don't give users access to a certain folder they only see the versions they're allowed to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconding this. Either make this a permanent plugin or bring it inline with emby in the same way TV Shows are already doing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbjtech 4255 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 So just a follow up - this plugin has made the big question of how to manage 4K content SOOOOO much easier. I've now been able to delete my multiple '4K Collection' versions and keep them all in a single collection (along with the 1080p versions etc) and clients only see what they are permissioned to see from that one collection. BINGO ... I'm really not sure why this is not in the Core code - is there a technical reason as presumably, it's just matching tmdb ID's ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanarkand 0 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Doesn't this work for Emby server 4.4.3.0? How would I need to install it on Windows? I copied manually the dll in two folders about plugins here: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server , then I reset the server but films are still duplicated. Thanks in advance.

rbjtech 4255 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) 4.4.3.0 is fine as that's the stable release. Do you see the plugin in the Plugin Area on your dashboard ? It should say Auto Movie Version Collections v1 ? If yes, then have a look in the logs for - "Info Auto Movie Version Collections:" and see what it is doing. It runs on a schedule, but unfortunately it's not configurable nor in the schedule section on the Admin page - but mine ran immediately as I restarted the server.

M3th0s 14 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Has anyone tried this with the new stable release (4.5.0.50) and is it safe to update? Thanks in advance EDIT: Although to be fair, still waiting for this to be included as default! Edited September 22, 2020 by M3th0s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarniac 2 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Yep, just updated and it works just fine and grouped movies like it has before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakes82 90 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yeah I know, but I see hes on github so it might be private and maybe he can make public or push it to github for us. Does this look right? It seems to duplicate one of the versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac 100 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It doesn't look right but it could also be that the movie itself is duplicated. Of course one also wonders one would need three different 4K versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakes82 90 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Yes but it’s duplicated but one has no other info but the path. first one Second one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible you would move that item out of its location, scan to remove it from Emby, then re-add the item. Unless you feel like poking around in a back copy of Emby's database.
