OK, here goes!

Its different, so copy your old dll, and the VODtoSTRMscheduledTask.xml from the plugins/configuration directory and back them up.
Currently the only thing I know that is not working is fetching the Icons/Poster images.
Also I still haven't tested the group by Genres yet, so don't know if that is working or not.

The detection section has changed!

Include will override the ignores.

You can use your personal API keys from TMDB, TVDB or OMDB to add Provider Ids or collect Genre Information

VOD Output grouping has more options

Choose what you wish to output, you can now output whatever strms you like.

Choose what you wish to log

A LOT of work has gone into this - Let me know you findings!

I have taken onboard as well that this might get used to output different things, so I am also thinking about adding a saved profiles section, so that it could be run with different configs.
What do you tink?

Great work.....I like it.

Yeah I had to revert back 1.0.0.93 as well. I'll pm you the logs for both the latest version and the 93.

Well this is not what I expected

You have only live tv in the M3U that you sent?? its an already filtered list.

March 16, 2025

Can you all start with no filters? i.e. no ignore words, no force to category and see where you go from there.

It is not taking long to do the output, a full output takes about 30 mins here, that's every line and the verbose logs

If you use my lines and modify to your needs (i.e. language), don't use anything else on the first run,

include words

EN ,EN -,EN|,US ,US|

exclude words

4K,AF -,AF|,AJ -,AL -,AR -,AR-ANM -,AR-KID -,AR-,BE -,BE|,BG -,BR -,CN -,DE (BLURAY),DE -,DE|,DK -,DK|,ES -,ES|,ÈS - ,ES .,ES- ,EX -,EX - ,EX -,EXYU ,FI -,FR -,FR - ,FR-,FR|,GR -,GR|,IL -,IL|,IN -,IN-,IN|,IR -,IR-,IS -,IT -,IT|,JP -,JP|,KR -,KR|,KU -,KU|,LA -,LAT -,LAT-,LATT -,LAT.. -,LATINO,MT -,MT|MT,NF -,NF - ,NF-,NF - ,NL 24,NL FILMS,NL F,NL HBO,NL M,NL NETFLIX,NL R,N -,NL -,NL ,NL|,NO -,NO|,PK -,PL -,PT -,PT ;,PT|,QC -,QFR -,RO -,RU -,RU|,RX ,SC -,SC|,SE -,SE|,SH -,TOP -,TOD -,TR -,TR|,VIU -,WIT-,XU -,XU|,###,(DE),(FR),(GR),(IR),(KR),(RU),(TR),FOR ADULTS,XXX,XXL

I'll try it in a few. It acts like it's running even though the log finished. How often is the trigger to run? The log stops but I can see files populate on the drive.

When the log is complete and says it is finished, the drive should be populated.
Enable all logging to see what is going on, it takes longer but tells you just about everything.

March 16, 2025

I might do a full restart. Some folders are locked. I shutdown emby all the way and keep having to do sudo rm -r . I'm sure I'm just impatient.

March 16, 2025

Ok files are released after the macos restart and deleted from Trash.

Shut down Emby.

Deleted the 93 vers DLL.

Restarted Emby and checked to make sure there wasn't a remnant.

Shut it down again.

Downloaded and pasted the latest dll (99). Started emby

Put in the filters and didn't make any other changes except add full logs.

Walking away and taking a break before wife strangles me for ignoring her.

March 16, 2025

Ok, VODS are created now, but if I add an additional ignore word, content is not being removed. Both boxes are ticked related to removal

If you make a change to the plugin, save, and reopen the plugin, does it save your changes? Mine keeps reverting. I'm also having file locks around PRIME PPV US/ PRIME PPV 6 - MLS 360 EN ESPAÑOL Sat 15 Mar 23/20 8K EXCLUSIVE. Are you having any file locks? I have to restart the whole server each time.

Do you mind sharing your filters?

Nothing? I will checked tomorrow, I'm out tonight, But you have set to only create TV shows.

Movie VOD: False

Is this what you want?

You are right.

I misunderstood that setting.

That's why it didn't create movies.

It run plugin right now and let you know

March 16, 2025

It appears to be saving OK.

As far as i am aware, no file locks and it always completes.

I'm using Mickle026 ignore list, which worked, but I then added 4K to the 2 ignore fields and that's where it is failing

Is it a string character issue utf/ansi error with the name of that PPV event?

Ok. I’ll take out the PPV and Sports channels and see what happens only using his filters.

March 16, 2025

I run the plugin with your config, but i think ignore doesn't ran as it should.

I.E. XXX has been created.

In requested words also i think doesn't work as it took files also without those words.

Check if your password is in the log before attaching it publicly. I didn’t look for myself but I’ve managed to do it several times the last two weeks.

Strangely enough, on the old version, I had to set xxx as ignore. This version, is automatically ignoring it - I don't want xxxx anyway
