I wasnāt sure what all the talk about Watchlist was leading to. Now itās here and I see for myself what it is, Iām impressed and will definitely be using it. Thanks again panni.
I have tested more thoroughly with the latest build. With chunk size at default 240, a collection with more than 240 items will not display correctly (see my post from yesterday on this issue). But once I went to the add-on settings and switched to 360, it worked fine (same workaround).
The watchlist showed correctly its items and worked fine (I have made one with 32 items), I tested 7-8 movies and all started to play without any problems. Just one niggle, though: just as I was exiting the last movie, intending to leave PM4K, Iāve got one of those old errors where I was shown the 3 dots indefinitely and in order to get to Kodiās Home i had to press the Home button that Iāve mapped on the remote. Otherwise I would have been staring at that screen for a long time, with PM4K running in the background.
Itās been quite a while since I haventā seen that bug, but then it was not an usual use scenario (starting/leaving 7-8 movies one after another).
Sent you a PM, managed to reproduce it. It happened again as I was trying to leave PM4K. NVM the 2 movies that failed to play, that was a cloud network share problem. All the rest started/played flawlessly. The problem was trying to leave the add-on.
Thanks a lot for your great work and debugging efforts, Watchlist (and PM4K as a whole) is awesome!
I got that too twice since the last update, randomly. I only use local content. Both times there were updates pending for coreelec though and I know that locks it up sometimes.
Thanks so much for the watchlist function, seems to work really well.
I have come across one bug. If I actually watch a movie to the end it successfully removes it from my watchlist. If I start a movie but donāt finish it and then select mark as played from Continue Watching, it does not get removed from watchlist. It instead swaps the play button with an egg timer and I canāt back out of the movie page.
The egg timer turns to the play button after about 10 seconds.
Yeah, oversight on my part, will fix that as well.
That should be unrelated. The button always swaps to the egg timer icon while weāre still waiting for servers to answer for the watchlist state check. If a server is taking long to answer, the icon will be shown for a while (until it times out).
Had a good amount of back and forth with @Korbus47 with test builds. Should be fixed in next beta as well.
Hmm, I donāt think so. The focus isnāt stolen but it might look like that, as I briefly disable the buttons of the dialog, so nobody accidentally presses update after booting up PM4K.
Edit: thanks for reporting, though! If you think thatās not it, please tell
The original plex client combines collections in movies and series.
Here is an example:
When i have a movie collection called āStar Trek - TOS - Collection,ā and a series collection with the exact same name (Star Trek - TOS - Collection).
These are displayed together when I click on the respective collection (see my photos).
