Actually after looking it is actually the version 2.5.0.4810 ShaneP released as a fix for Emby server version 4.8.1.0. It's located here 

 

I am currently running this version with Emby Sever 4.8.11.0

I have done nothing special to get it working. It has worked for me since it was made available.

Fine here too.

For those who can't get it to work - are you running beta servers? Maybe it's 4.9+ that breaks the plug in.

For me, I had to setup the playlists first, then add my music to the library. It was the only way the plugin would "see" and add the music to the playlists.

I just tried to run it on Version 4.9.1.34 beta and it doesn't work.

Smart Playlists had been working fine for me, but I just checked and it's no longer launching with the 4.9.1.80 Emby server update.  I haven't run any of the Emby server betas, only the full public releases, so I believe I was running 4.8.11.0 prior to this when it was working fine.

The playlists are all still there for me to use, but I suspect they won't update as I add new music to my library.

Isn't this now supposed to be built into v4.9.1.80? I see no such plug-in or configuration setting.

That is the previously most widely available beta version. Be on the lookout for 4.9.2.1 which should be rolling out soon.

4.9.1.80 is that latest stable version.

Is plugin working with 4.9x versions of the emby server?

No, not working on 4.9.1.80

First problem is:

 

The functions are still there in MediaBrowser.Controller.dll, however the function signatures have changed. Re-work is required to update the plugin to work with the following functions and who knows what else to work with the new version of Emby.

QueryResult GetAudioCodecs(InternalItemsQuery query, CancellationToken cancellationToken);
QueryResult GetVideoCodecs(InternalItemsQuery query, CancellationToken cancellationToken);

QueryResult GetSubtitleCodecs(
InternalItemsQuery query,
CancellationToken cancellationToken);

QueryResult GetVideoCodecs(InternalItemsQuery query, CancellationToken cancellationToken);

All now take a new variable a struct called a CancellationToken that seems to aid Emby in scheduling and managing of the requests of these functions. It also has other complex dependencies.

The last commit for this repo was 2024 Summer so it may be a while before a fix. Wait or roll back to the last working version of Emby if this plugin is needed.

I was able to download the source from github and give it a quick compatibility update. the build is in the first post. There are separate downloads for the 4.8 and 4.9 servers.

Using 4.9 version with server 4.9.1.80, can't get into the admin interface.

Clicking on Smart Playlists from the admin menu results in the 3 dots 'busy' animation and nothing else, but the animation keeps playing when changing to different pages. Only a browser refresh gets rid of the animation.

Could you please include a link to those versions? Not sure where to find the new updates you posted on GitHub.

This log suggests you downloaded the 4.8 version by mistake.

100% certain I downloaded the zip marked as the 4.9 version - SmartPlaylist-4.9.1.80.zip, the content was a 302kb dll, which matches with what I have in the Emby plugin folder.

Same. Downloaded, installed, restarted Emby, clicked on "Smart Playlist" in settings and nothing happens.
