Smart collections aren't synced to KODI

[correctomundo79]

Help yourself

Yes, I tried/checked all this.

Describe the bug

I created some smart collections on my PMS. However, these collections are not synced into KODI by PKC. Normal/regular collections are synced without issues.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new smart collection in PMS
2. Run a sync on PKC
3. The smart collection isn't synced

Expected behavior

I expect the smart collections to be synced in a similar way as the regular collections.

Log file

For the log I did a full reset of the KODI database, so the log shows a complete sync of everything. The smart collection names (like 'Clint Eastwood Collection' or 'Western Collection') do not show up in the logs... https://pastey.dekleijn.org/view/b153f5ca-46e4-42c5-8316-c3e1aa29e269

Well, this is not a bug but a feature request. One that will probably never be implemented. "Smart" playlists use a certain logic. There are smart playlists on both the Kodi and the Plex side, but following their own logic. I don't see anyone trying to "translate" that logic from either one to the other - way too complex, sorry 😞

That's too bad! I'll stick with the regular collections then, not a real problem. Also, if there's no straight forward solution for this feature, I guess we better close the issue then?

Hey @croneter I wonder if this could be looked at again. I've started to use https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager to make smart collections that I'd like to see in Kodi. Would there be a way to import Labels as Tags the same way collections are imported as Tags?

Yes I have the same problem too

Under Series > Label I see my collections and can also play them.

Under > Videos > Viedeos Addons > PMS > Series > Collection they are "visible" but inside the series everything is empty.
