ginjaninja 537 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Has anyone found / can anyone think of..a good way to stop Emby trying to identify a "smart playlist plugin" collection on TMDB? 2022-12-21 10:41:51.333 Debug App: Running MovieDbBoxSetProvider for Wanted 2022-12-21 10:41:51.333 Info App: MovieDbProvider: Finding id for item: Wanted 2022-12-21 10:41:51.333 Info HttpClient: GET https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/collection?api_key=f6bd687ffa63cd282b6ff2c6877f2669&query=Wanted&language=en edit - I have removed the incorrect identification, overview and sort title...hopefully the noise wont come back on refreshes.

ginjaninja 537 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) I have a smart collection whose members are tagged "wanted". i use a script to manage the "wanted" tag and hopefully update the smart collection. I am finding that the scheduled task does not refresh the collection. Is it possible for a script to use an api endpoint to refresh a smart collection? edit: setting the update type to "live" might make the scheduled task have an effect..but is that a bit of a sledgehammer? will the collection be refreshing constantly outside of my script calling for an update.

Eigeplackter 75 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I admit I‘m a bit lazy when it comes to trawling threads. So apologies if that was already answered. I made à smart playlist with actor Kiefer Sutherland“, something that doesn‘t work due to Kodi limiting a movie to max 1 collection. Overall plugin works fine, but guess what….yup I own whole 24-collection, and the output just isn‘t User-friendly with like 200 episodes+movies. Is it possible that the smartlist shows just the tvshow instead of every single episode ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginjaninja 537 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 another shameless plug..smart playlist plugin users may find value in @ShanePmight be a useful function to consider including in your plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Im facing another one. I made a Smart Playlist MCU Phase 1, i screwed up some filters and some movies were missing. Happens, no big deal, but after editing and refreshing SPL it does not change the content anymore: As you can see it should contain 5 itens, it does contain 4 (and 1 doubled by TopPick plugin as it seems): What am I missing ?

Couldn't you just use 'Movie Name' 'is' for all five movies? You could even + 'Year' to it to get more specific. Top Picks stuff get auto tagged with 'top-pick' so you could filter that out. Sorry didn't have time to test it out, just throwing some ideas out there. Personally I use Emby's add to playlist feature for MCU timeline stuff. I just add them one at a time, it takes longer to create the list but there in the order I added them. This is my MCU list (currently 29 movies). If a new movie is released I just add it to the list add drag it to the right spot if needed. Edited December 23, 2022 by Junglejim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigeplackter 75 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) No, you are right and I'm absolutely grateful for every snippet of information I get. I wanted to add the Marvel Televisiom series too, but as the workaround with Collections is a no go (KODI related), I removed em from list and added to "top-pick" tag as a no. So far I have some bugs, that might need fixing and I hope the dev @ShanePwill have a look. I'm running beta 4.8.0.21 emyb server on a Synology (native, no docker) I started over with the playlists (removed all entries incl. netadata manager) and created 2 of em. I had an error in Phase 1, so I got only 5 entries: I corrected that error (The Avengers): But it seems as everytime I run "Refresh all Smart Playlists and Collections" it adds a new playlist containing the same name, instead refreshing em. 1st entry Pfad: /var/packages/EmbyServer/var/data/playlists/MCU Phase 1 [playlist]/MCU Phase 1.m3u 2nd entry Pfad: /var/packages/EmbyServer/var/data/playlists/MCU Phase 1 [playlist]/MCU Phase 1.m3u So I'm still stuck with a list, doubled, with 5 entries. As for Phase 2, no matter if I scan library or refresh smart playlist: So 4 questions: Why does it double the smart playlist -----> figuried that out for myself, after the edit of the SPL it uses the name for an additional playlist, because the content differs, should not behave like that i guess Why doesn't it refresh the smart playlists if I start task manually Why doesn't it add the 2nd playlist Can you change the behavour in smart playlists, so the series or season is shown in a smart playlist and not every episode Thanks in advance for having a look- Edited December 23, 2022 by Eigeplackter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhodges 39 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 @ShaneP Any way it could be updated to use the IMDBId (and maybe the other ids) as criteria for filtering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmielke 0 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Does anyone know a solution to filter for entries in the comment-field of tags? I want to create playlists by just adding the playlist title to the comment and then filter for these comments. I was not able to find a filter for "comment" yet. Thanks, Matthias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shioku 1 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hi, would it be possible to add a filter for audio language? So it would be possible to include/exclude all Series which do not have your native language as audio included. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchValhalla 1 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Any idea why I only see this when clicking Smart Playlists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eigeplackter 75 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Looks like emby server is busy and not able to refresh completely. Any other scheduled tasks running ? Also it will depend on the criteria you defined for the SPL, the more entries, the longer it might take to create initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deiniol39 18 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Somebody might have a ready asked this. But is there a way in to great a collection with resolution.

Eigeplackter 75 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It‘s manual labor at the beginning. you need Vic‘s Tool to filter for 4k, than bulk tag all results i.e. „4k/UHD“ and afterwards create a SP „tag is 4k/UHD“ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginjaninja 537 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Is there an easy way to duplicate a smart playlist definition? could there be?. Ive tried to edit an export for reimport but i dont think thats straightforward. My example is when you have recently watched lists for users and you want to create them for all your users.
