Damstas 9 Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Is there an API to use that allows fanArt from Schedules Direct to be used in LiveTV sections, in similar way to what library items have? Like in this pic https://flic.kr/p/C1dDBg
Damstas 9 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 I'm still waiting for one of the devs to help me out.
ebr 15577 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I guess I don't understand exactly what you are asking. What are you actually trying to do?
Damstas 9 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 Basically I'm wondering whether it would be possible to implement it so that the fanArt from Schedules Direct would be shown in the back. Similar way to what library items already operate, but with TheTVDB. Check out this pic, area in the red: http://imgur.com/AygPoHw
ebr 15577 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Sorry, I'm still confused. It sounds like you are asking for a feature within the system as opposed to an API call for you to develop something. If that's the case, we are working towards unifying a lot of this data but it isn't all there yet.

Is there fanArt shown with LiveTV section? I currently see it like this with NPVR: http://imgur.com/DQ39By1 As you can see, there is no fanArt to be shown in the back.
ebr 15577 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 No, not yet. It shouldn't be specific to the provider once we are able to tie this all together.
Damstas 9 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) No, not yet. It shouldn't be specific to the provider once we are able to tie this all together. What Luke is trying to tell you is that the fetching of metadata for those items is completely independent of whatever TV provider is used. Once those items are in the library - as long as we have enough information to identify it properly - the internet metadata providers can be used to fill in the data. The key is that part in italics. NextPVR or MP or whatever needs to be providing enough information about the item for us to be able to tie it to something on one of the data providers. This is currently working for movies and is still to be done for TV. Ok. Is this part of that process too? It's from this topic: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/24634-emby-w-hdhomerun-wschedules-direct-picture-request/ Direct Schedules Direct integration with PVR Plugins would be also cool feature to have.

Damstas 9 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Ok. Thanks for answering. Is it ok to ask when this would be done? I'm keen on using that feature. Edited December 16, 2015 by Damstas
ebr 15577 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Always okay to ask but, sorry, I can't be sure.
