I'm wondering if there's a better way around the slight issue I'm having.
From time to time something will go slightly wrong with Kodi, and I'll need to re-scan the database to correct an anomaly - no big deal. However, when this happens, after the libraries have once again been scanned, I then need to re-select the TV shows in LazyTV, and because I use multiple instances of LazyTV (one for each family member, etc) on multiple clients, this amounts to quite a bit of duplicated work.
Nothing else in the setup is changing, so, is there an easier way to effectively copy the TV shows for LazyTV and it's clones? Or, if it's technically possible, would a new save/upload feature be a useful addition to anyone other than me, perhaps? Just an idea.
Kind regards, Craig.

Hi, not sure if others have experienced this issue, i havent found any mentions of it. I’m using LazyTV to generate a smart playlist that i then use in my customised skin.
I’ve set LazyTV to sort by Last Watched, which it does in the widget, but the Smart Playlist it generates is sorted by Random 😞
Is there any way to get the Smart Playlist to respect the order i’m after? I guess it might not be a variable you can pass for the sort order, but what if the episodes were written to the playlist in the order specified from LazyTV settings, and then no sort was applied, presumably that would then display in the right order?
Any help appreciated, and also kudos on a great script, has some really handy options!

Do you have any unwatched episodes?

Yes, there should be several unwatched episodes in different shows.

How do I get Lazy TV to generate and maintain a playlist that looks the same as the addon uses?
When I run the add-on, I see one poster per show (10 shows max), and when clicked, it plays the next episode, perfect!
When I choose the Lazy TV playlist, it shows the next episode from every TV show, but it doesn't sort or limit in the same way as the addon.
If I create a new smart playlist, type TV Shows, with criteria (where playlist is LazyTV) , the output looks like the addon BUT when I click the show, it doesn't play the next episode, it goes to the full episode view.
If I create a new smart playlist, type Episodes, with criteria (where playlist is LazyTV) , the output doesn't look like the addon.
Help

Hi! I'm trying your plugin today... One quick question. I have 5 Kodi installations with (the same) 4 profiles each. Do I have to change configurations on each of the 5 Kodi installations everytime or is there a way of keeping the Lazy-TV configurations of the 5 Kodis in sync some how?
They are all using one central NAS with one central MySQL DB.
Thanks!

Not in LazyTV itself. That would be a feature of Kodi, not individual addons.

Thanks. How would I do that in Kodi?

That shouldn't be affecting playback.

Thanks. I've disabled it for the moment to see if the problem goes away.
Edit: You're right, problem still exists.
