Hi, stay tuned. Smart playlists will be one of the focal points of the Emby Server 4.9 release, so this feature will ultimately be built in.

Is there an ETA for this release?

Well we have a release version now at least. Let's give the people at Emby some slack

My playlists are only being added to Emby's main window when I create a new one.  If I edit the playlists settings, then the playlist in the main window won't update and all the episodes disappear.

Thanks for any help!

I fixed this by using the Manual update.  I didn't realize that I have to keep the mouse over the Playlist's tile until the update bar completes.

Is there a way to filter for TV shows that are currently airing?

Hi,
Can someone upload the latest Smart Playlist plugin and let me know which Emby server version it's working with?

I have Emby 4.8.10.0 server and Smart Playlist version 2.5.0.0, and it's not loading for configuration.

Not sure how much support you're gonna get as plugin Dev hasn't been around for some time and with SmartViews/Playlists being focal point of upcoming 4.9 release - how much interest would be in it. Maybe some other fellow user might offer some insight, as I'm encountering no issues (besides some visual glitches) with 4.8.10.0/2.5.0.0 combo. 

Have you maybe tried another browser? Or vanilla (addons disabled) whatever is your browser of preference?

Sorry, not understanding your question - was there a period where it was not working?

I've tried installing it several times and it never seemed to work for me, unless a new version was released recently?

This plugin never worked for me. 

Until the emby 4.9 stable comes out, and, if you are on Anroid, I can suggest using symfonium app from play store.  It has the ability to create smart playlist based on user criteria.

No idea what the difference might be but I've been using it daily for as long as I can remember.

Yeah, that's the same post as linked above; it'll show as 2.5.0.0. in your Plugin list, tho.

Всем, привет!

Не могу понять, что я делаю не так с созданием плейлиста по фильмам:

 - с любым правилом для фильма результат всегда 0. Плейлист применяет правила только к сериалам

Этот плагин только для сериалов?

 

Hi,

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with making a movie playlist.:

 - with any rule for a movie, the result is always 0. The playlist applies the rules only to TV series

Is this plugin only for TV series?

It works for movies. If you would like to post a screenshot of your configuration, someone may be able to help.

Hmm weird, I just tried the same and it worked fine. The difference is that for 'Internal Item ID' I had a six digit number, whereas -1 somehow doesn't seem right. Unfortunately I have no idea what it means though.

What happens if you make something really open like 'Media Type is Movie'?

Do you have a 'Movie' library or 'Mixed Content'?
