Happy2Play 8249 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 @ShanePCan you expand Smart Playlist to include "Music Videos" and "Home Videos" as they appear to be excluded? Music Videos are Type: MusicVideo / MediaType: Video Home Videos are Type: Video / MediaType: Video Movies are Type: Movie / MediaType: Video which works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant get the playlist to work when a genre is included and was wondering if there is a specific way to set the name. Hey @SpiritFaerie, did you get it to work ?

Hey @goldsworthy1 firstly I found the 'parameter id' bug and fixed it. (next release). Secondly, I do not see a way to set the sort order of the playlist when creating it. When creating the playlist it just creates the playlist using the underlying Emby framework/components and we supply the 'items' for the list. I see this functionality is not available in Emby standard playlist and collections either so not much I can do about it. Maybe we can request this for playlists and collections and upvote, and when/if it's available I'll make a change to the smartplay list plugin.

wordlover 102 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 @ShaneP I am loving the Smart Playlist plugin - thanks for the great work. The only confusion I have is that playlists I create seem to be automatically shuffled. Is there a way to have a playlist sorted, so users can choose whether or not to shuffle? And an additional request is to have the ability to sort by a variety of different fields. I am using it for music and would love the ability to choose whether to sort by Album Artist or Artist or Album. But this is geat work already and much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @levander currently the code looks for the related playlist by its internal Id and then name, if found it removes it. I’m thinking of adding an “Disable” option so it’s excludes from the schedule. Also, I could put in a confirmation on delete to remove the “emby” place list, but this might cause confusion. You could edit the “behind the scenes” json file and change the internal id, I haven’t tested that though or you could just set the playlist mode to “manual” and it should be excluded from scheduled generation.

Hey @wordlover to my understanding, the playlists are controlled by Emby itself so the plug-in can’t change the order of items in said playlist. Have you looked into standard emby playlist functionality as this might be “doable” there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am puzzled, though, why your plugin would generate shuffled playlists, rather than each album of tracks coming one after the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordlover 102 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) @ShaneP See below - I create the playlist, then open it in Emby player, and it's already shuffled, with no way to sort it by album (or any other field).

wordlover 102 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 @ShaneP That was my first thought, too, but despite the alphabetical order of the first few tracks, the whole (long) playlist doesn't seem to be sorted by "track title" - scrolling down a screen or two they really do seem random. I just made another test playlist based on genre (non-piano classical), and the first dozen tracks seem alphabetized, but then the next few screens restarts alpha order of titles. Not sure if that's helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordlover 102 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 @ShaneP I found an apparent minor glitch: renaming a Smart Playlist doesn't take. It's reflected in the playlist edit screens, immediately and returning to it there later, but not in the main Emby playlist screen. Restarting the Emby server doesn't help. Just FYI.

Luke (Emby ahthor, not me...) said smartlists are sorted in the order entries are added. So it will be possible to add a sort field in smartplaylist, to sort media. BTW it's possible to manually sort all media in a smartlist by clicking on the double horizontal line on the right and move each media in the desired order.

That's not feasible with a multi-hundred track playlist, and shouldn't be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
