new guide data for a channel will only be created if that channel runs empty

I would love this feature. 

And thanks for your help above, pünktchen. You've helped resolve my confusion.

Did you clear the browser cache? Otherwise when at the config page, hit F12 to open the browser console. Then reload the page and post any error that might occurs.

I have cleared the browser cache

These are the errors i'm getting:

Mmh, maybe you've entered some illegal character somewhere. Please pm me the config xml.

Maybe it's just me, but i think something in 4.8.0.52 broke the VirtualTV plugin config page in the UI.   All my channel configurations are showing as empty, despite the config xml still having all the proper info.

Hi, server log?

There's nothing in the log, but the browser console shows an error "TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setAttribute')":

I often use javascript "setAttribute" on DOM elements to change the styling of Emby class elements in the plugin configuration page. Never had any problem before Emby 4.8.0.52!

This means the element that you're trying to call setAttribute on is null.

I know what it means, but i don't know why it happens now with the latest and i don't know how to solve it.

How did you get a hold of the element?

That's it! You've removed the ids of all Emby elements and i have to use class names now

OK, this id was actually there erroneously. It was being added to every single emby-collapse, therefore creating multiple elements with the same id. We really shouldn't have any elements using id's. The ones that are there were added years ago and anytime I see one I remove it. I would do all of your selection using class names.

I plan to change all this, so that new guide data for a channel will only be created if that channel runs empty. Other channels that still have program data will be skipped.

Is that only for ordered channels, or for random channels as well?

This is how it works currently: When the guide refresh happens the plugin calculates the duration between the current time and the last guide refresh time. If that duration is greater than what is set in the plugin for "Suspend ...", then new guide data will be created. In your example the biggest gap is between Sunday and Wednesday with 72 hours. So you should set "Suspend ..." to 72 or less.

 

That is the normal behaviour with "ordered episodes" when a guide refresh takes place.

I plan to change all this, so that new guide data for a channel will only be created if that channel runs empty. Other channels that still have program data will be skipped.

Yes please make that change! I too struggle with guide data running out and the refresh resets my ordered episodes so that I am constantly watching only early episodes of ordered shows.

Just for confirmation, which of the 4 playback modes work with Roku remotely?

Thanks

Both "Continous" should work.

Thanks.

And because of how Roku works there's no chance of any kind of workaround you can think of in order to use Playlist modes?

Yes, but a new playback mode is in the works that will also directly play the library videos. But do not expect too much of the first implementation. It will miss some other important features.

Sounds good.

That's fine, Rome wasn't built in a day!

I appreciate the time and effect, thanks.

I am running Linux Version 4.8.0.53 beta and downloaded this plugin. VirtualTV.1.1.4_Emby.4.8.38.zip

None of the options drop down menus work. This also then throws the only virtualtv log reference

Does this plugin work with the latest emby beta version, or am I missing something in setup?

Not yet. I'll release a new version later today or tomorrow.

[Ninko 64]

I don't know if it's even possible, but when you have video with 2 audio tracks, one stereo and the other 5.1 surround, could an option be added so that it always uses the stereo track?

Thanks

That's not possible, because Emby chooses the default audio track. A plugin can't do that. So either create or search for an existing feature request to set the desired audio quality in Emby or do change the default track of your files.
