That look's like a earlier version to what I'm using (2.4.0.1).

The 3dot menu in the latest version has few options (add smart playlist, export playlist, import playlist)

Thank you, worked

FYI, I have SmartPlaylist 2.4.0.1 installed on Emby Server 4.8.0.26, and it bombs every time I attempt to go into its settings.  The corresponding log entry is as follows:

so i got this figured out finally. if you try to access the smart playlist menu via http://app.emby.media/, it'll blow up and be unusable. however if you access it using your localhost (eg. http://localhost:8096/) it will work as it should

That's great that you found something that works, but it will throw an exception for me no matter how I access it.  It throws exceptions running scheduled tasks, should execute without regard to connection state.

Looks like 2.4.0.1 is still unusable for latest beta emby? Last version was June 2022, so this plugin is marked dead?

The developer is updating for stable releases.

Thanks, this is off-topic, but I assume I cant downgrade from 4.8.0.39 beta to 'latest' using docker on synology without starting fresh?

The last release on guthub was Jul 22, 2022, so I'm not sure if this is still being developed. I hope it is and @ShanePwill come back to it at some point.

If not it's about time the Emby dev's got to work on adding smartlist support.

Native Smart Playlists has been an Emby feature request since 2014,

So we should see it built in any day now?

@ShaneP@LukeHello -- I am posting in this thread because of the prior messages about Smart Playlists using parental rating.

With the Smart Playlist (built-in implementation), I'm encountering the same kind of issue with no items found for a basic rule.

Resulting playlist has no items:

smartplaylist.2.4.0.1

server version 4.7.13.0

Library is set to United States in advanced settings and library contains many PG movies

Thank you -- as a parent, this particular filter has huge value.

I would appreciate any help to get a smart playlist with or without certain parental ratings.

I'm having a bunch of collections created by the plugin, any way to determine from which collection the error comes from? If not, could you please add the info to the log output?

Best regards

Was there ever a solution to this  I am seeing the same error, and did not see any answer this this nor any solutions

I am using Smart playlist 2.4.0.1
and Emby Server 4.7.13.0

[Luke 37128]

Well since this is on Github, I can publish a compatibility update for the 4.8 beta server. I can't take over all development for this, so the developer will still need to support the actual features. Thanks everyone.

[crusher11 855]

The developer is gone. 

[Luke 37128]

OK, I can help with compatibility updates for newer server releases.

@LukePerhaps it's time for this extremely popular plugin to be made into a core feature?

Yea, after my post I went into the feature requests forum and see it's the 2nd most popular request of all time there. It's a shame that it hasn't been implemented yet, and honestly it's one of the bigger reasons why I've mostly moved back to Plex now. Sorting content with Emby is just more cumbersome in comparison.

Why do you think it’s cumbersome?

Well, one easy example is that occasionally I like to see a list of unwatched movies sorted by rating. To do this in Emby I have to go into my Movies library, navigate to the right to the filters to select "Unplayed", then up to the sorting options to sort by rating. Then I have to go back and change the filters/sorting again to get them back to normal afterward.

With Plex, I created some smart playlists (or maybe collections? Can't remember for sure at the moment) and pinned them in my libraries. So now I simply go into the Movies library, navigate to the "Recommended" tab if needed, and my "Unwatched Top Rated Movies" list is saved as the 2nd row here. Then I also have additional rows for things like "Newly Released", "Newly Added", etc, and I also have similar saved lists for my "TV Shows" and "Documentaries" libraries as well.

Plex's smart playlists/collections make this all easy to setup so I can easily see things sorted/filtered in different ways with a quick glance, whereas with Emby we're limited to just the couple of rows in a library by default and having to change filters/sorting back and forth.

Really anxious to see this as well. I have an important playlist that I can't update anymore.
