Clicking on "AppData" simply brings me to the "Share Settings" page. I don't see anything here to upload a plugin.

You’ll have to do this via SMB share or an unRAID plugin. You can’t upload anything from this window.

Ohh yes. he needs to install this plugin "Dynamix File Manager" on unraid to do this.

That why I told the person to learn about its OS.

Please let me know if you need help updating to the changes in 4.8. There are some signature changes to the playlist creation and responses that I think should be straight-forward.

The main thing you need to know is related to supplying a user (or not). Here's what to do:

• Leaving null = playlist not associated with a user, and it would be just like playlists in 4.7
• Supplying a user - playlist will be private to the given user
• Supplying a user and setting IsPublic - it would be the same as if you created a playlist in the web app, and then marked it public. So the user supplied will be able to change it and mark it private again.

Thanks bro! This works for my trance, Emby in a container on Khadas VIM3Pro - but there's not much chaos yet

I have a simple smart playlist for putting all MCU films into a single collection. It works fine, and I've had it up for months. My only annoyance is that since the Collection/Playlist refreshes daily, it seems that Kodi re-scans these videos daily. So every morning, when I turn my TV on, I see all the MCU films being updated in Kodi. So it seems that the plugin updates the nfo file for each of the videos daily, regardless of whether it was already in the collection.

Is it possible to only edit a movies metadata on initial add/removal from a collection? I could obviously change the Collection from being live as a workaround, but that obviously means my list won't be current immediately after new films are added.

I recently upgraded to beta server 4.8.0.29 and now the smart playlist menu doesn't work. I see the plugin as installed in the plugins menu but when I click on the Smart Playlist  menu item I just get the 3 loading dots and nothing comes up. I uninstalled the dll and installed it again and I'm still getting the same result. I can manually add items to a playlist but none of my smart playlists are updating. Any ideas what's going on?

Plugin likely not updated for beta .26+ branch.

Gotcha. Guess I'll just wait and hope that when it does get updated and the scheduled task runs that the movies that should be added to the live playlists will get added.

Is this plugin still being maintained?

Yup, an update on when the new version will be made available would be greatly appreciated.

I think it just needs a compatibility update for the beta server.

That's a question for plugin dev, which hasn't been around for a few months (since December '22), so unless some community member is willing to take it on, it remains unknown when/if it will be (at all).

I was hoping that some of the smart playlist features would make it into core at some point. I guess that's still not going to happen anytime soon.

Ditto, and I'd guess a number of users as well, as it's still the top-upvoted open Feature Request at present time, so it's likely bound to happen (rather) sooner than later - but hat "sooner" has really been stretched quite a lot.

Definitely agreed, and this is one of the biggest reasons that I've switched back to Plex for now at least. Being able to create smart playlists and having them as sections on the app's homescreen and in libraries makes it so much more convenient to browse content. Hopefully Emby will come up with something in the core product that can compete.

Hi mate, there should be a little 3dot icon (top right) in the smart playlist plugin. Hopefully that should do the trick.

That look's like a earlier version to what I'm using (2.4.0.1).

The 3dot menu in the latest version has few options (add smart playlist, export playlist, import playlist)
