denzoid 41 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) I have a fairly large movie collection (5k+) starting with films from the 1920's and in the absence of "smart" playlists how about a filter by decade option? Filtering by year works, but if I want to watch something from say the 1950's I have to start navigating from the 1930's and work my up to the 1950's which is quite a few number of pages. Another option might be to have Years running vertically much like the alphabet when viewing by title.

arrbee99 1560 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Also suggested this, for for some stupid reason I put it under General/Windows, duh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdewoody71 8 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Just wanted to add my support for this feature. We switched from Plex to Emby and my wife really misses this option. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1560 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 These plugin are very impressive, wish I had the brains, but think I'd prefer the years filter to be replaced with a decades filter with supplemental years sub filters. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade005 172 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I remember DECADES being an option years ago when it was still Media Browser. It was in the options tabs when you entered your MOVIES library next to GENRE. Someone had also made up a nice set of DECADES fanart. Would be nice to see it return in a future update. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozrdnag 73 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I 2nd this request. I rarely, if ever want to browse my media by a specific year. Bu frequently I want browse, say, my 80s movies. It's one of the reasons I still use Kodi as my front end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanbuff 840 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 @bozrdnag a tip, add a Like to the first post to show your support for this FR. That's how the devs measure the popularity of these feature requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozrdnag 73 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Done. I didn't realize that. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieggywegz 1 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'd love this feature too. Very useful for large libraries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaV91 1 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 i recently switched to Emby from Plex and this is one of the few features that I really miss. It would be great if it was added! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcmale 11 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Is there development for this feature? I really miss the decade filter, filter year by year is useless for me. Thank you to consider adding it. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMail 4 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Yep. I have both Plex and Emby installed. And this feature added to Emby would be great. Especially for a very large collection spanning from the 1900's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglejim 351 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Yep me to, would love a 80's, 90's.. etc. filter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcmale 11 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Why it's so complicated to add this simple filter? Maybe developper missunderstand the request? We don't want wait a decade before obtain this filter but filter by decade.... Emby is more powerfull player than Plex but their filter when I search for a movie is archaic. It's the main reason I use Plex again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37068 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, and I'm not objecting to a decade filter, but the mutli-selects could benefit from being able to shift select multiple and then it would be much quicker to select a whole range of years.

arrbee99 1560 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Yes shift-select would help, instead of clicking on a year 10 times to get, say, the 50's. But by decade would still be ideal. Maybe replace the list of years with a list of decades, each of which has a sublist for individual years... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user24 87 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Being able to Group/Sort/Filter by Decade would be an excellent option for not only movies but music as well, especially for large libraries. It could be done manually to some extent by using custom Decade Tags and/or setting up custom Decade Collections but this would be very cumbersome to maintain for libraries with 1000s of items. An auto method built in to Emby would be greatly appreciated. Asset UPNP by dBpowerAMP does it very well for music. My personal preference would be to have Decades as a top level menu item (in line with Albums, Album Artists, etc). Then filtering by Year would only ever show ten options. Also, shuffle play could possibly be easily applied to a whole Decade. I expect there are also many other methods that would work as well? Anyway, well done to the Emby team for a great product. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing what you implement regarding the Filter by Decade request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcmale 11 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 User24 doesn't have too much hope. This filter has been requested by many users for so many years and the developer does as they please that I no longer hope to see a filter decades in the future. It is also for this lack of listening to developers and the absence of decade filters that I no longer use Emby and that I now only use competitive software... Yet it's something so simple to implement... In the competitive software, I use this filter EVERY day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hthgihwaymonk 21 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I'm adding tags to content now that include Decade 1990s and so on. It's a few more clicks, but at least it gets what I want when I'm in the mood to look at content by decade if "Decade" not in TagItems_value: ## ADD TAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
