Scripts to Create/manage a "Coming Soon Movie" collection

[ginjaninja 537]

Was looking for a way to quickly make a record of movies I want to add to the library...and let users know of imminent movies through review of a "Coming Soon/Wanted" collection.

Requires Windows/powershell core

1. "Create Wanted.ps1" provides a user GUI to Add Wanted Movies to a Library

movies are matched to TMDB (requires a tmdb apikey). A small temp file is copied to library to instantiate the movie object

2. ScripterX on MediaitemAdded calls "ManageWanted.ps1" for movies matching the temp file to be tagged "Wanted" and the SmartPlaylist refresh task called to update the Smartplaylist

3. As the movies are added to the library the wanted tag is removed and the movie removed from the wanted collection.

 

CreateWanted v0.0.0.2.zip

changes v0.0.0.2

constructed TMDB Url properly (spaces in title replaced with +)

allow force creation even if no match on tmdb.

Manage Wanted v0.0.0.2.zip

changes v0.0.0.2

changed tempfile to mkv

added function to find ticks for a custom temp file.

 

 

set testmode=$false in both script's config files when tested.

more of learning project than a practical tool so far..

pagination results from TMDB are a work in progress.

issues/suggestions welcome
