New Plugin: Smart Playlists 2.0

[ShaneP 248]

Hey All, I’ll have a look at this, I’ll create a 4.7 branch in my repo and just merge it to master in 4.7 is released.

Could you explain how the different tiers of rules work within the plugin? How does adding a rule with the "+" button different then adding it with the 3rd button with the ellipsis and plus sign?

Hey @markle88 I think that is to group... so you could do an 'AND' or 'OR', but not 100% sure, I haven't looked at the code for this...

First post here: 

 

maybe I'm right here

Hey there,

I'm currently trying to create a smartlist for a Studio. Unfortunatly its not selectable as option in the drop down list for filters.

I tryed to change the .json file directly, but I don't know how the label for studios is. 

 

Does anyone have a idea? I wanted to create a smartlist as collection for all Pixar, Marvel, DC movies etc...

Thanks in advance

[InaudibleDirge 7]

is it possible to add full shows to smart collections as opposed to every episode in the show? i'm not seeing tv shows as a media type option

[koopa8840 24]

It's labeled as Series.

[InaudibleDirge 7]

right, but that puts every episode from that show into the collection and not the series itself

[koopa8840 24]

Oh, I get what you are saying now. Instead of the display showing/listing episodes, you would like it to show/list the TV series. My fault for misunderstanding.

Hey @InaudibleDirge I’ll have a look at extending this for you.

I might be dumb...I need some help. I downloaded the .doll file and put it where it belongs. Went into my server, created a smart playlist with some rules, and then to scheduled tasks and told it to update my playlists. Nothing happens. I set it to update and nothing. I made the playlist manually to junpsrart it, and that didn't help so I deleted the smart playlist rule - which deleted the playlist I had created, that it wasn't maintaining. What am I missing?

I tried to create my first SmartPlaylist just before and failed to *exclude* Audiobooks (which are categorized as 'Audio'), is this possible?

How do I add smart playlist to my home screen? Trying to get recently added movies and latest released  by date movies as two seperate Home Screen sections

 

Cheers

You can't make any playlist as Home Screen section. 

Lend your support here:

You can exclude audiobooks, by using "Path", if you keep them in a folder separate from other files.

So glad to have a working Smart Playlist plugin again!  One question: I may be missing it, but is there a way to filter by Library?  I could use Path, I think, for the same effect, but that's a little clunkier.

Hi, i made the mistake to upgrade emby to 4.6.4.0 before upgrading this plugin.

After upgrading to 2.0.0.1 now it seems as if i can't create new smart playlists anymore.

i can define them in the plugin, but it will not get created as playlist.

Any ideas why?

 

greetings

Wolfgang

Hey @goldsworthy1, seems to be a bug, I plan to do some work on the plug-in over the weekend but for now, can you see if you resave all your playlists if that works?

Have played around with settings on and off throughout the day, but its not creating the playlist, just keep getting the same error.

Hi there. Could really appreciate the help. I cant get the playlist to work when a genre is included and was wondering if there is a specific way to set the name.

[Greg Prz 1]

First, awesome plugin Shane, well done!  I just started using it so forgive me if this feature is already available or requested but when you are making a playlist for music and you add multiple albums is there a way to automatically filter out duplicates based on criteria you select.  For instance you have Abba Gold Abba Gold 2 Abba Greatest Hits and you add Artist is Abba you end up with duplicates. If you could specify remove duplicates on Artist + Song name that would be very nice to have indeed.  Otherwise excellent work.  Thanks!

[goldsworthy1 5]

Is it possible to make it so you can sort playlists by date added rather than name?

[questionmark693 0]

Does this plug-in require a specific server or windows version to work?

[usenet 1]

I installed this plug in add some collection under smart playlist in settings but I cant see them show up 

in my home collections, how to  enable it?
