@ShanePI saw that you preferred bugs/issues to be added to your github for tracking. I added an issue I'm facing here, but not sure you saw it:

https://github.com/ShanePe/Emby.SmartPlaylist.Plugin/issues/2

Hey @feerlessleadr, can you dm me the log or scan through the log to look for the offending shows and see why they where not added (no personal identifiable information stored… icon top right on the detail page, also if you could export the playlist and I can have a look) do you see any errors on the Emby logs? Also what version of Emby. Thanks so much

Thanks for the quick response. So to be honest, I haven't really been looking at the playlists since I raised that issue. When I logged into my server and went to the playlists, I'm now seeing that the playlist is showing all of the shows. I'm not sure if that's because I need to wait for a job trigger or something for the playlist to update, or if there was an update to the plugin or server.

I did try to add another show to my playlist 'Comedy', and I'm facing the same issue again. Just PMed you the log. I don't see anything in there (even after I turned on debugging) that might be an issue, but I'm defintely no expert. 

Also DMed you my exported playlist. I'm running 4.7.14.0

Version 2.4.0.3

Feature

• Create a copy of a playlist. (Duplicate)
• Decluttered UI by adding a pop up menu to playlists
• New Criteria:
  • Added Audio Stream Codec Criteria (Stream: Audio Codec)
  • Added Audio Stream Language Criteria (Stream: Audio Language)
  • Added Audio Stream Display title Criteria (Stream: Audio Display Title)
  • Added Subtitle Stream Language Criteria (Stream: Subtitle Language)
  • Added Video Stream Codec Criteria (Stream: Video Codec)
  • Added Video Stream Display title Criteria (Stream: Video Display Title)
• Updated Criteria:
  • Parental Rating: Now uses official rating under the hood
  • Resolution Height: Now uses video streams to determine the available video heights rather than the metadata.
  • Resolution Width: Now uses video streams to determine the available video widths rather than the metadata.
• Added Monitor Mode to shuffle playlist type. Meaning that the playlist will be destroyed and recreated on a schedule, but between scheduled executions, media item changes will be batched and monitored for inclusion/exclusion. (So .... combination of live and shuffle modes but could have a perf hit on larger playlists, experimental)
• Collapsible sections in the playlist editor that keeps state, for more UI real estate.

Can't seem to edit the main topic anymore so can't add release to the first page. Might start a new topic.

As per usual, please let me know if there are any issues, I will be focusing on the changes introduced in the next version of Emby next.

Great, I will do that, I'd like to keep the first posted updated with the latest release, saves new users trawling through all this nonsense :). I see you're a mod @GrimReaper, would you mind replacing the file for me...

Does anyone know where I can see the change log/release notes for beta 4.8? I'd like to see what's changed so I can work on compatibility. I've search the forum... No luck.

Great thanks @jaycedk, Would you perhaps know where I can find the what NetCore SDK the latest beta uses, I have been able to at least trick my dev environment into using the same as the beta's Media.Controllers but seems to be failing on trying to ref the System.Private.Corlib (6.0.0.0). On linux... Doesn't help

Not sure if this helps you Welcome to Emby DEV
Or if its this you are after Releases · MediaBrowser/Emby.SDK (github.com)

Also you can look here Developer API - Emby Community

Alright so I love that you were able to add audio languages but im running into a snag for my setup. So I have multiple folders for anime and I only want a playlist for anime dubbed shows (I ran out of room on one drive so I had to put more on another) so I think for this to work It needs to be essentially:

(Stream: Audio Language is en OR Stream: Audio Language is en-US OR Stream: Audio Language is Eng OR Stream: Audio Language is English OR Stream: Audio Language is English[eng])

AND

(Path/Filename contains D:\Anime OR Path/Filename contains G:\Anime 2 OR Path/Filename contains G:\Gundam)

 

but it won't let me essentially have an AND between these 2 paths from how I'm understanding it since I need multiple OR(s) for the different audio languages then multiple OR(s) for the different folders. Right now the program is basically looking at well it can have multiple files that are English (with the various different ways files choice to word English audio) or it can have files from the various folders. I can't have it where all the audio language choices are: english and Eng etc. cause then the program thinks I want a file with all of those choices not just any of those choices

 

Sorry for my rambling lol if anyone could please help that would be awesome

The section for path  rules are subordinate to the audio language rules. They should be at the same level. In so doing you will get Type AND (langauge en OR enUS ...) AND (path...)
 

In other words add path section with + not += then add individual path rules with +=

Hope that help
Cheers

@visladethere seem to be an issue here right from the start is that you cannot added a group as the first child of another group. I’ll sort this out on the next release. Alternatively you can create a playlist with the first set of filters (say language) then a second playlist that uses the first playlist as the source. (With execute).

 

--Edit

So I was just playing around and if you click the group button (+=) on a "group" it creates another group on the same level. You can try this but not sure if it will work on the back end. Let me know.

@ShanePThank you!! I figured out where I went wrong. I feel so dumb now xD I clicked the += on the last stream audio language instead of the very first rule when I needed to make another set of rules for the paths

Is it currently completely non-functional with the Emby beta, or do I have something set up wrong?

If your on beta you'll have to wait!

Sorry if this was answered earlier, but it's a massive thread. Is it possible to install this plug-in through the catalog? Or do you have to manually install it?

[jaycedk 386]

Guess you need to read 1st post.

Hey All,

 

Firstly, excellent work! secondly, I noticed that this has stopped working in Emby 4.6.4.0, I have forked the repo and fixed if anyone is interested. (Have PR out for main repo)

https://github.com/ShanePe/Emby.SmartPlaylist.Plugin/

Sorry also, I have made an update, if the playlist has NOT yet been generated, it will generate it, regardless of the playlist schedule trigger. So one no longer need to 'manually' run first to initialize the playlist if it falls outside of playlist generation schedule. (Make sense !?!?!?!)

Is this in reply to my question or somebody else? Maybe I'm missing what you're referring to, but I don't see anything about the catalog in here.

no - you need to manually install. put the linked (unzipped) file in your plugins folder in the programdata folder

Am I wrong in thinking that filtering a field by "current user" should yield results based on which user is logged in?

Example:

So, if there are 3 users, each user should only see their favorited items of Artist X, basically creating 3 versions of the same playlist.

 

I'm seeing that a playlist is created based on the user who creates the smart playlist. When other users log in, they see the creator's favorite items from Artist X. Not a big deal if each user needs to create their own playlist but then how do you make the playlists private so that each user doesn't see the other's playlists?

 

Server Version: 4.7.14.0

Plugin Version: 2.4.0.3

 

[LongMan 89]

Feature Request
All Users - the ability to make playlists or collections which pull data for all users on the server.

 

Cheers,

I am also interested to the answer. I tried similar and it didn’t work either.

i wanted to create a playlist of the last 10 movies the user has watched, but it didn’t work.

Server Version: 4.7.14.0

There are no private playlists in 4.7 stable, public/private playlists feature will be in upcoming 4.8 release (currently implemented only in 4.8+ beta branch).
