Plugin: EmbyIcons release.

[rbjtech 5348]

Hi @yocker

Embarassingly, I can't seem to get your Plugin to work ..

The Plugin is loading, I see it in the Plugin area, I see it load in the logs - but when I click on Settings - nothing at all happens.

The config XML file is not being created - so I tried forcing a blank one but no joy.

Other config XML's are being updated, so it's not a write/permission issue.

I've tried cleaning browser cache, private & also an alternative browser.

Filtered log below if this helps.

I'm using the latest Emby beta - 4.10.0.10

Any help appreciated ! Thanks.

Nothing shows from above - and nothing is actionable.

yea - I think it's because it hasn't created the config xml for some reason - this is brand new install.

See if this one works.

It should correctly loads the settings page now.
The config file is not necessary for the settings page to load and is first created when saving.

 @yocker- this one loads just fine.  thanks !

New version (v5.52.2) out.

This one fixes memory usage, memory leaks and performance issues.
Been working on it for some time and memory usage should in some cases be almost halfed along with a descent performance uplift.

Download it at: yocksers/EmbyIcons Github.

Thank you to @Neminem for the help!

You have a typo - not 5.52.3 but 5.52.2 according to GitHub and what I see in Emby

Hey @yocker, 

it's really cool that it is now in the pluginstore but can you maybe help me out because i used a custom compiled version of it with my own icons and it was simply overwritten now. 
If i create and compile the project as you advised couple months ago what do i need to change so that the autoupdate feature doesn't overwrite it again? 

Thanks again for this awesome plugin and the constant updates!

Forgotten about the problems you had, very sorry about that.  

Not sure precisely what Emby goes after when catalog is used but i would guess changing the version number to some high number would be enough, to be 100% safe the "[assembly: Guid("b8d0f5a4-3e96-4c0f-a6e2-9f0c2ecb5c5f")]" in Assemblyinfo.cs can be changed too to something else.

This is the key.  It is how the store identifies the plugin.

Thank you both very much

Hi yocker ! First of all thank you so much for your amazing life-changing plugin !

Since v.5.52.2, I don't have popcorn rating icons displayed on my poster. I reverted to 5.51.8, but since the plugin is now available trough the catalog, it updates automatically to 5.52.3 (stays 5.51.8 until server restart). Have you an idea of why the popcorn rating fails ?

Thanks again

Should be fixed in the latest version along side a small bug in the loading of the settings page that could make it not show in rare occasions when closed and then loaded to fast.

Thank you for reporting it.
