Jdiesel 1453 Posted Thursday at 04:30 PM Posted Thursday at 04:30 PM 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. 1

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

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.
cauldron 0 Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago (edited) 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! Edited 18 hours ago by cauldron

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) Hello! Yes the “Run Group” button initially builds the playlist with the correct tags in the correct order (as they appear from the source link). However, as that external source list updates day to day, the schedule tasks do not automatically update the playlist. They update the tags correctly but not the playlist itself. Only when I manually press the “Run Group” button does the playlist update with the additional content. Furthermore, manually running the “Run Group” a second time after content is added does not update the playlist order, it simply appends the new content to the end of the playlist. An edge case I have not tested yet is I am not sure what happens if you press the “Run Group” button when content is later removed from the sourced list. I do not know if it will remove the content from the already built playlist. Edited 3 hours ago by cauldron

Should be fixed with latest release. When an item is removed from the source its also removed from the playlist. The order is something I have too dig a bit deeper into... Thanks for reporting!

Awesome, Thanks! Not sure if this is unique to me, but I updated the plugin, and I noticed the target user for the playlists is cut off. I can't scroll down to select my primary user:
