Are the changes from version 4.7 to 4.8 so significant? Sounds like it should have been a 5.0.

Lots of database/backend changes...

I'm just glad @ShaneP is still willing to support his plugin.  It's the #1 thing I use in Emby and I appreciate his efforts! I'd rather wait for the update than not have any update at all.

I 100% agree with this!!

would be very nice if you can fix the plugin

Hey All,

 

So after some time, it seems to be running stable in my environment, so here it is... This has been a bit of a battle with compatibility and time, but hope all is good. Please log any issue you may find on the repo. (https://github.com/ShanePe/Emby.SmartPlaylist.Plugin/issues)

So to recap, main issue is that Emby front end has changed to not support additional files and they way .js are loaded and additional new backend libs to integrate. I did see an odd toast pop up when saving a playlist but have not been able to replicate.

NOTE: I did notice on firefox that I had to manually refresh the page sometimes if it doesn't load, trying to get to the bottom of this.

This is NOT backward compatible and built/tested on version Emby 4.8.10.

Bless your heart ShaneP

So far some minor quirks but it works! You're a genius and a saint, @ShaneP. The only request/suggestion so far is to have the option for nested sort of a playlist ("Album artist... Album...").

It's working well so far. Which is perfect in my eyes. Great job! I wish I could buy you a coffee or beer!! 

[feerlessleadr 173]

Thanks for this! The only issue I'm running into is that I'm not able to get the sort job to trigger anymore. 

I have a "Live" playlist that I created for music that is all of User A's favorite songs. I then created a sort job in the plugin to sort the playlist by 'Name' daily. I then go into scheduled tasks, and manually trigger the "Sort all Smart Playlists". 

However, once I go into the playlist, the order still appears to be random for the songs. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Good Googley IT's working again. I lost my pithy "Dude Where's my Car Movie" description but that's okay its working again. Thank you so much for this. This makes watching a weeks worth of AEW so much easier.

Sorry - Just realized you asked to put issues on your github, so added this on there:

[sdfgdtfhrztrhgd 1]

short question:

 

in kodi there is for series a menu-option called "started series" and show in the first menu the series how i have started in the past. when i click on a series i see the seasons and then the episodes.

Is there a way to create a small playlist that show's like this?

Thank you so much for your amazing work on the plugin. It was really missed in the last couple of weeks. glad you manage your way through.

It's working fine for me as well except what you mentioned that we need to refresh the browser multiple times in some cases.

Running latest version in latest Emby beta (could be why I am getting an error)

Create a smart playlist (although I can't see where to name it), and I am getting the following error:

Error saving playlist: Validation of SmartPlaylistDto failed for: SmartPlaylistName

Can you send me a screenshot before you save it?

Ignore this. I was trying to do it via my phone and couldn't see the name field. Tried it on my laptop and the name field appeared and saved correctly

I might be stupid.. But how do I add tv-shows/series to a collection? 

I have tried all kinds of settings but i can only get movies to populate..

Okay, playing around some more and i seem to get episodes in the list, but not the tv-show. 

What i'm trying to do is for example make a collection of Marvel. So i thought the only filter needed would be " studio > contain > "Marvel". 
This gives me all movies but none of the series.

it doesnt seem like you can choose series as a media type but in any case, If i dont specify mediatype then 'series' are not matched but movies are matched...so agree series seems missing/notworking. (2.5.0.0 on 4.9.0.11)

edit

so emby cant add series objects to playlists it seems..just episodes...

Type=Collection has a reference to series, how a matched object is presented.

matched objects can be added as series to collections

however the plugin doesnt search series objects..only epsiode objects

Source is [Audio, Movie, Episode, MusicVideo, Video]

so a workaround for now would be to set type=collection, epimode=series and then set the studio or tag on an episode in the series and match on that...

Just for your info, I don't know if this is your issue with Firefox but it might be so I have posted a link.  Firefox keeps 3 cached versions of the dom.  Two of them don't refresh and are static.  You have to change the way the page loads.  I discussed it here with @VicMoore.

[ginjaninja 605]

it seems in some circumstances 2.5.0.0 is not respecting the source setting, unless I'm misunderstanding the logging

Rather than enumerating the database (mediaitems) for members the plugin was enumerating the playlist itself.

in any case the contents are not getting updated correctly.

eg

Literally what I use this for! Pro Wrestling.

Pop it on in the background at work and away I go.

Thanks @ShaneP!

Is there a reason that this new version isn’t available on your GitHub page under “releases”?

And any chance you might add this to the official Emby plugin store?

Hey @feerlessleadr, I am seeing the same thing, seems to be a bug within the underlying Emby code, I have reached out. So hopefully this gets resolved soon.
