Creating Links to Specific Locations in Library

[Anim_Tech 0]

Hello,

We've been using Emby (3.3.1.0) for the last couple years to show student work at our school.

In certain instances, we modify movies.html to add links that guide to specific locations in our library, in the past we would simply copy and paste the URL from the URL bar in an <a-href>: i.e.

 

http://server:8096/web/list.html?genreId=074229225b7254292f131f9f49f8dcd6&serverId=36ba29fe38b5485bbbc80383eb31e20b

 

However, after upgrading to version 3.5.3.0, we're no longer able to link to specific locations - clicking the link does nothing.

 

http://server:8096/web/index.html#!/movies.html?topParentId=e37ef43ac94e982d875b78418a73b489&serverId=263d27a80b2841729909d642fcd3b0fb

 

I understand the supported way is to use Emby Theatre - but we don't have the necessary resources to set that up at this moment. They system completely works for us, we just need to be able to create links to specific locations. I suspect it has something to do with the #!  - anything we can do as a quick fix to make links work?

on the second link you dont need the &serverid..... bit - compare the link in the web app for the page you want to go to

 

then use those as the links you create

 

 

what locations are you trying to reach anyway?

Thanks for the response @@PenkethBoy - 

 

Interestingly even without the serverID I was not able to link to other pages with an href. It would fill the URL but would not load the page. I ended up forcing a page reload by adding onClick="window.location.reload()" after the href.

 

We have a little menu at the top that allows the user to link to specific albums, or sometimes genres. I.e. "animation" or "film"

 

Thanks again for your help!
