fredflix 23 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Not sure if it's a bug or not: Plugin version: 0.9.0 I have 2 Library Folders: "english_movies" and "foreign_movies" Channel settings: Playback Method: "Continous Playback (Live)" and "Single Playback (Live)" (happens on both) Include Library Folders: "english_movies" checked Channel Content Type: "Movies" Watched state to include: "Watched & Unwatched" Sort program by: "Random Movies" Genre: "Action" All conditions have to be TRUE: checked So even though "foreign_movies" is not checked, the channel still gets "Action" movies from the "foreign_movies" library. I'm guessing the "Genre" setting takes precedence over the "Include Library Folders" setting?

I was using "english_movies" and "foreign_movies" as example but here's what I have (attached). I'm getting "Action" movies from "/mnt/movies_french" even though it's not checked. "movies_french" and "movies" are both Movie type libraries, the rest are TV type libraries. Other than that the plugin works great so far.

It's because of the naming of your folders. In the background i request all videos where the path starts with ... mnt/movies_french starts with the path mnt/movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll rename the french movie folder then, not too many movies in there so thumbnails/metadata rebuild shouldn't take too long. Thanks for the help.

I don't have any control about anything GUI related of the Emby apps. For me it would be a very good tool to show if I miss an episode inside the "universes" (I use your plugin to show franchises with crossover episodes). The channels guides are a perfect overview for this and Emby itself doesn't have a option to merge TV series like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pünktchen 1259 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 But that is totally against the intended use. The plugin is not for managing your media, but enjoying them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyborg 43 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I now had the chance to test the new playlist mode with the Fire TV beta app. Is there a chance for a playlist mode equivalent to the "(Archive)" playback modes to start each show from the beginning? Or could this new option be the solution? But it is limited to an half hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had "Set items watched at playback stop after percent" to 0 because I thought it would disable the watch feature entirely. I misunderstood its meaning... Now set to 5% it all works good.

Now set to 5% it all works good No, you didn't misunderstood the setting. Zero means the plugin doesn't mark videos as watched. The thing is in playlist mode you're really playing the videos from your library, so the Emby library settings for continue playback and fully watched take precedence. I try to reset it after a short delay. Either this doesn't work at all for you (maybe the delay is to short) or some apps don't refresh the screen on their own.

Set to 5%, the movie appears briefly (5-10 seconds roughly) under "Continue Watching", is marked as Watched and then gets removed by itself. So this is all good. Set to 0%, the movie appears under "Continue Watching", is not marked as watched, and has the progression bar (where I left off) on it. The movie stays there indefinitely. So the mechanism works fine at 5% (aka the screen gets refreshed), just not at 0% I'm using v0.9.0 from the front page.

Every time I press the back button on the Fire TV app via GUI it jumps to the beginning of the previous show and I have to press forward then to start the "current" one. Is there a better solution that I have overlooked? Would it perhaps be possible to increase the limit of the "Start playback from the beginning" option to, say, 18000 or would this lead to side effects? Personally, I don't like jumping directly into the current program, even if that's more like real television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciphi 1 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I misunderstood what playlist mode meant. But I tried it out and it works well. I was getting stops at the end of things with single mode. I'll get it tested on a number of the different devices I have and report back any problems. I'm wondering, would it be possible to use an already existing playlist as a source? I wanted a particular collection of sitcoms as a source for a channel. I went through and set tags in the metadata and then used that to create the channel, so it can be done, but constructing a playlist is simple and straight forward, so perhaps it is a simpler approach. This is more suggestion than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciphi 1 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 A feature request. No idea how hard it would be to implement. How difficult would it be to make an audio only channel? Basically a radio channel I suppose. Same essential setup as the tv or movie channel, random collection of music, maybe bumpers and stuff, but use the music library instead of the video library. Not music videos, just the audio. I dont know if the live tv engine supports something like this so I just thought i'd put the idea out there in case it was actually simple. It would be nice to be able to build some music channels to put on in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If the above is not possible - could you create a channel from a playlist - for me mainly Audio but do have MusicVideo playlists as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
