Think I've got it now thanks. It opens properly, which is progress for me.

Sorry bout the confusion.

Any idea where using this smartlist plugin I could limit things to Movies and not get episodes, music etc ? Thanks.

How have you configured/set-up your Collection?

[arrbee99 1853]

Yes, I have this so far -

not sure about the semi-transparent bit - some of the css I suppose. It gives a row of movies, row of episodes, row of music and row of music videos.

Thanks very much. Will have to try a bit later.

Works great, thanks @GrimReaper

This plug-in should be promoted more prominently, it's amazing.

Only thing I need/want is how to add both movies and series together. I only can find a way to have movies and episodes, but not series per se. Anyone got an idea?

I just discovered this one and haven't used it at all but seems to fit my requirements - is it in the Emby Plugins catalogue?

SmartPlaylist.dll

Hi,

Just to say upfront: I'm not a developer or programmer. With the help of Claude Code, I managed to get the SmartPlaylist plugin—which last worked for me as SmartPlaylist-2.5.0.4810 but stopped working after Emby updates—running again on Emby 4.9.5.

It works perfectly on my setup (Emby Server on Ubuntu), but I have no idea whether it will work for anyone else. If anyone wants to give it a try, I've attached the updated DLL.

The Emby developers have been promising to add this functionality for years, but since I no longer believe that's going to happen anytime soon, I decided to see if AI could help—and it did.

As I said, I'm just a user, not a programmer, so unfortunately I can't provide support. All I did was use AI to update a version of the plugin that had worked in the past.

If it doesn't work on your system, you could try using Claude Code to adapt it for your own setup. I tested several AI tools, and Claude Code was the only one that succeeded.

Just curious, Did you ever try the one from Yonkers and linked here?

Either way, I'm glad you got a working solution.

Ohhh... no, I never found that file. I kept checking from time to time to see if there was an update, but unfortunately I never came across it. I did find some alternative plugins, but none of them allow filtering by tags.

Thanks for the link! That means my post above is irrelevant if this has actually been available for a long time.
