New Plugin: Smart Playlists 2.0

[feerlessleadr 173]

Works fine for me. Are you on 4.8 or the beta 4.9?

Where have you grabbed it from? GitHub is a bit behind (as is opening post), DL from here:

 

[phreaq 4]

thank you, that one worked. I must have had an older version.

1. copy the dll-file to your syno: e. g.  "/volume1/Data/SmartPlaylist.dll"  and shutdown your emby server

2. ssh to your syno: e. g.

in windows cmd

3.

(password = administrator pw)

4.

this should copy the dll from your Data folder to the emby plugin folder

5. restart emby and it will show up

 

4.9 beta here - also didn't work as in 4.8

I've tried that, no matter what I do I just keep getting, access denied.

Like I say, it would be so much easier if @ShanePcould add it to the Emby catalogue?

Sounds like a permissions issue. Make sure your user has RW access to the folder. Otherwise, access it as root and see what happens.

[Ninko 78]

@OracleI'm logged in as admin, that should have access to everything?

[Ninko 78]

What I use to do of course, is place the file in a backup set and just restore the plugins from that set, but since backups was changed, that no longer seems possible!

Hello

Thank you very much for this great plugin.

Can you please make it possible to select extra actors in Favorite and not just movies? Creating an “Any” list with all favorite actors is tedious and inflexible.

Thank you very much

Hello,

thanks @ShanePgood work

I just updated to 4.8, and no Smart Playlists anymore.

You're using incompatible plugin version.

Thanks ! Sorry I've read this post but clicked on the wrong link (July 21 one instead of March 24...)

[Sammy 790]

I have not used this Plugin and there's 28 pages in this thread. Is the first post updated to show current information?

BTW, what does this do exactly? Will it create Playlists such as Yacht Rock for around the pool or Smooth Jazz for a cocktail party?

I'd like to download from there and give this a whirl and am on Windows Emby Server Beta 4.9.0.XX.

Hi @ShaneP- I am such a fan of this plugin but am having similar challenge finding & downloading the most recent version. Is it possible to load the most recent to GitHub, or put a direct link here? All the ones above don't lead to an active download link to the latest version.

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.

SmartPlaylist-2.5.0.4810.zip 290.34 kB · 240 downloads

Normally this is the latest version and it works for me with emby version 4.9.x.x for the time being.

[Sammy 790]

So I dropped the dll from 2.5.1.4850 into AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\plugins and reloaded the Emby Server.

The Plugin Loaded but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do from here. Is there a guide somewhere?

I just want to create playlists for my music so I can have stations similar to those on Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, etc. How does Emby-ScripterX help me with this?

apologies i misread the thread......ignore scripter-x 

ive never seen instructions..,

Create a smart playlist by defining the criteria of its members

It is quirky and the ui sometimes doesnt show up..so try a browser refresh if you dont see anything.

Where did you find this version of the dll?

Im trying to make a 5 episode playlist for my kids that will update each day that only displays tv-Y shows.

Random shows but with the episodes in order.

 My current settings

Update: daily

Limit max: 5

Limit order: episode (no idea what this actually does)

It is only grabbing one show and the episodes are out of order.

Is there a guide that explains each setting?

What is the difference between update LIve vs shuffle daily vs daily?

Emby has updated the playlist to be private by default.

Steps:

1. Open the playlist you created.

2. Click (...) more

3. Click manage collaboration.

4.change visibility to collaboration.

5. Select each user to allow visibility or edibility.

Done.

Hi folks, I'm wondering if someone better versed with playlist construction would be able to help me set something up.

 

I want to create a playlist that picks a random whole album, and everyday it refreshes with a new album (basically an album of the day playlist) . I've tried a few different things, but not quite managed it. Thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone has suggestions on how to do it.
