is it possible to create smartplay lists in Emby or EmbyCon?

[guill69f 17]

I have Kodi installs fetching directly their content from NAS shares, and I have created some smart playlists in these Kodi installs based on MPAA rating, country etc.

Now I am considering moving to installing EmbyCon in my Kodi installs, but i am struggling to create smart playlists as i did before. are there any ways to create smartplaylists in EmbyCon? or do they need to be created in Emby Server? Where in that case?

thanks

You can make smart playlists using Kodi with Emby for Kodi.

Thanks. But i no longer use Kodi, it has served me well but now and for some time i have installed Emby on a Nvidia Shield, it works great (excepted for smart playlists )

You can use the HomeScreenCompanion plugin for Emby to make something like smart playlists: it can automatically tag or put videos in collections which follow certain criteria.

My problem is that Emby apps can't do things like show more video details as you browse playlists. Only Kodi has been able to do that.

thanks, i did not know Home Screen Companion. I installed the previous version to try it out (AutoTag) but in the process i read that smartplaylists are coming to Emby with version 4.10. I'll be waiting for a stable release then
