BaiGanJia 21 Posted September 26, 2023 Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) The support for Chinese is very unfriendly, and the operation logic of this drop-down box to select movies is very anti-human. Once the number of movies is very large, it will be very difficult to select a movie from the drop-down list. Have you considered adding a "PIN" option directly to the right-click menu of the video, which would be much more convenient? 对中文的支持非常不友好，而且这种下拉框选择影片的操作逻辑非常反人类。一旦影片数量非常多的情况下，下拉列表中选择一部影片将变得非常不容易。是否考虑直接在影片的右键菜单中，添加“PIN"的选项，这样会方便的多的多 Edited September 26, 2023 by BaiGanJia
Guest juanmartinbravo Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Hi there I installed this plugin, read the OP but still got no clue how It works. So I got some questions: 1- When are the top picks suppose to appear in the home screen? So far I just have a empty top screen folder, nothing else. 2- Do I need to select which movies I want to appear there? By reading the OP I thought I don't but the plugin settings got me confused 3- Will this plugin pick top picks from IMDb and similar sites or just based on what my Emby users watch most? Attached are my plugin settings. Just in case you guys can see there the reason why my top picks aren't being generated.. Thanks you in advance
Bottles51 74 Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) @juanmartinbravoI believe you first need to go int Emby's scheduled task tab and click on calculate user engagement at bottom under top picks. Once that is finished (should not take long) click update Top Picks. Edited September 29, 2023 by Bottles51

The ones that got added are far from being the most popular even if I only consider recent releases.

JIsenhour247 2 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I have the latest Emby media server with latest Top-Picks plugin installed, but for some reason when I go to settings and then Top-Picks the little blue spinning circle just continues to spin and never allows me to select any movies with the on screen keyboard to add them. It also doesn't retain any of the settings i try to set either. One more thing i have been all thru this thread and seen multi pics from other users setup. However I don't have A option in the plugins settings to select where movies and tv shows are located. When I install the Plugin it sets up a folder Automatic in AppData on my C drive is this normal? Oh yea it did work once when I first set it up, but after changing the location of the Movies folder in library it has not worked since. I have removed and reinstalled multi times nothing seems to work? Any help at getting this working would be greatly appreciated.

This will make it easier for the developer of the plugin to troubleshoot your problem. Thanks.

chef 3810 Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 Hello, I will take a look to see what may have changed in the emby release. If there is an issue I will find it.

And I would really like an option where I can really purge anything the plugin created.... If I uninstall the plugin there should not be any TopPicks folder anymore (or rather ANY Plugin ) Also tried to manually remove remnants.... did not help. And after restoring a backup 5 times and trying stuff out...I think I will have to wait till it works again (going back to .51 restores functionality again so it might be some of the changes) 1

I'll take a look at the beta, but beta will most likely change again before release, so I'm not sure if chasing beta changes is worth the time TBH. If the change in beta is major, I'll make the appropriate fixes. Looking at it today... 1
fuzzynet 1 Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 I am using top picks with emby server 4.7.14.0 and generates the playlist perfectly but it won’t appear the top of the Home Screen even with the setting enabled.
lordairivis 9 Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Not sure if I've got something configured wrong or what, but I've noticed that when Top Picks generates the .strm files for multi-season shows, it creates a copy of every episode of every season in each Season folder (as well as the associated thumbnails and .nfo files), as in this example: Some Show Season 1 Some Show - 1x01 - Example Title A.strm Some Show - 1x01 - Example Title B.strm Some Show - 1x01 - Example Title C.strm Some Show - 1x02 - Example Title 1.strm Some Show - 1x02 - Example Title 2.strm Some Show - 1x02 - Example Title 3.strm Season 2 Some Show - 2x01 - Example Title A.strm Some Show - 2x01 - Example Title B.strm Some Show - 2x01 - Example Title C.strm Some Show - 2x02 - Example Title 1.strm Some Show - 2x02 - Example Title 2.strm Some Show - 2x02 - Example Title 3.strm Season 3 Some Show - 3x01 - Example Title A.strm Some Show - 3x01 - Example Title B.strm Some Show - 3x01 - Example Title C.strm Some Show - 3x02 - Example Title 1.strm Some Show - 3x02 - Example Title 2.strm Some Show - 3x02 - Example Title 3.strm Of course this also causes multiple unwatched episodes to appear for that series in the Top Picks library, with each episode being grouped to each of the duplicated versions of the episode. I would expect that each Season folder has .strm files pointing only to the episodes in that season, as in this example: Some Show Season 1 Some Show - 1x01 - Example Title A.strm Some Show - 1x02 - Example Title 1.strm Season 2 Some Show - 2x01 - Example Title B.strm Some Show - 2x02 - Example Title 2.strm Season 3 Some Show - 3x01 - Example Title C.strm Some Show - 3x02 - Example Title 3.strm I am able to go in to the data folder for Top Picks and manually remove the incorrect .strm/.nfo/.jpg files for each season but this is time consuming, especially for seasons that have a large number of episodes, and the next time the scheduled task runs to update the Top Picks it simply recreates the files that I've manually removed. Is there a workaround or fix for this behavior that I've missed?

Mccampser 1 Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 On 9/21/2023 at 11:00 AM, Mccampser said: i've done a further cleanup on filebase on filesystem, and now a reinstall fixed it. Whats still a problem: 1) scrollbar on windows emby client not existing, no scrolling 2) when i add some TV Series to Top Picks, where not all episodes of the latest season exists(because is it not aired yet), top picks not recognize that and display all episodes from all seasons available without thumbnail and also linking them wrong. i have a series with 8 seasons. 2 episodes in 8th season. but S08E03 etc. is linking to some other seasons (e.g. S07E03) Any Tipps on that? brgds tom any tips on that issues ? @chef?
Darkseidd 59 Posted October 31, 2023 Posted October 31, 2023 beta is already at .57 is top picks working at .57? i still stuck at .51 because i love top picks
bakes82 167 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Luke has said referencing self hosted media in a channel isnt really supported as it duplicates items in the database and shouldnt be done, the plugin should prob be rewritten to a collection instead.

Yeah we all know the drawbacks, the problem is adding a (playlist/collection) to the home screen. This was the only way @chefcould achieve that. I'm sure he thought of every possible solution. Things could change in core to facilitate a better solution but until then "this is the way". At the moment with the stable release of Emby this is gold! I love it even with it's duplication issues, which only surface with searches/recommended etc. Edited November 2, 2023 by Junglejim
