Plugin: Home Screen Companion

[Jdiesel 1453]

Nothing new to add but I just want to re-stat how great this plugin is. I almost never have to go beyond my homescreen to find something new to watch now as it's always being refreshed with great suggestions.

 @soderlundOne bug I did notice is that in the plugin’s home screen tab > Target Users, if the list is long there is no scroll bar in that box, making it impossible to select users past a certain point. 
 

Thanks, I'll make sure to fix that for next release!

Yes, “Random” really does need to be a sort option for collections, but it isn't and this workaround suffices in the meantime.

Random is still available in the plugin as "Sort by" option for single collections, and seems to work - even if it has been removed from the Emby native settings.

Hi, first want to say that I am loving the plugin so far, thank you so much for this amazing tool!

Regarding playlists created by the sources, is there a way for these playlists to auto update? Currently when I run all the schedule tasks, it seems to just sync the tags, home screens and fix the top lists but it’s not actually updating the playlists that were made by the source.

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers!

Thanks! Happy to hear you like the plugin

This sounds like a bug,  playlist is supposed to update in the same way as tags etc. 
What happens if you only run that group instead of the sync task? 
(The blue "Run group" for each source group)
