neik Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 +1 for adding this to the catalogue. Especially with bigger libraries this is a good feature to keep track of released movies withing a given time frame. @@chef, would it make sense to also include episodes matching the time frame? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the exact folder you're looking for in Docker, but this is the one I use with Synology Look for something like this and throw the dll in there, then restart Emby /var/packages/EmbyServer/target/var/plugins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibbes Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Let's see what the API has. Depending on the list that the API has, could build something that is capable of displaying various libraries on the home screen, each with different criteria... so the one plugin showing a library for new releases, one for running series, one for ended series, one for cartoons, one for animated movies, etc. Just throwing it out there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) This all seems possible. I'm just not sure if I should build independent plugin libraries, or build them all into one?

PuffyToesToo Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, based on release date! So a movie that was released "On This Day" in 1988 for example.. or an album, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have several dll files. I could be wrong. That totally depends how you want to build it I suppose... I'm not sure what the reason would be this cannot be done in one .dll, I guess though that if you'd want to use various .dll's, you may want to consider setting this up as various plugins instead of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Yeah, the config will list all movies, or series, and then you'll have to out a check in a check box to add it to the "featured" channel. Is that what we call it "features", or "top picks"?

chef Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) Here is a "Top Picks" channel plugin... proof of concept. DOWNLOAD: TopPicks.zip It currently only works with movies. You currently have to run the "Refresh Internet channels" scheduled task after toggling items in the configuration If you enter the config UI after initial setup all toggles are off. I gotta fix it. Duplicate Item issue because Emby creates the new version of the item with a different Internal Id. TODO: 1. Fix duplicate entries (I dunno how yet) 2. Make it work for TV 3. Figure out a better/faster way for user to select items from library. 4. Auto Run Refresh Internet channels after plugin config save 5. Update Config UI to show channel items that are added. this is pretty alpha. It needs some extra work, but you can create a "Top Picks" library with you choice of items. If you toggle on new items in the config and then run internet channel refresh, it will update the channel. Edited May 30, 2020 by chef 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamstewiegreen Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @@chef This New Release thing is great! Thanks. One idea ... it may not even be possible, I wouldn't know though... instead of making 3, 4, or 5 different plugins to cater to everyone's tastes, why not create one plugin that puts selected playlists on the Home screen. Then we can use the smart playlists plugin (or create your own playlists manually) to create custom Home screen sections (with the name of the playlist as its title)... On second thought ... some of the suggestions wouldn't be possible with the smart playlist (like "on this day") 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
