BlurN will retrieve newly released movies on Blu-Ray and (for now) add notifications when a movie matches a number of filters (for now age of movie in days, minimum IMDB rating and minimum number of IMDB votes).

 

Currently this is in alpha state and tested on Windows 10 and Synology NAS.

 

Comments?

 

This is kind of a nice concept. Tried out and works. Could the notification for a movie be clickable (like @@Luke 's release notes) to open e.g. the particular detail site with the movie release date, e.g. bluray.com to get further infos? Example: I got notified of the Deepwater Horizon release. When I click on it, I get to this page http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Deepwater-Horizon-Blu-ray/155147/

 

Also It would be interesting from where you grab the data and if it's possible to get it country specific.

I am grabbing the data from blu-ray's newest releases RSS feed. Regarding the notifications I want to go a step further by either opening up a new channel (kind of like what the TuneIn plug in does) or else try to see if I can get them under the suggestions tab of the movies channel, if at all possible.

 

Eventually I have some other ideas too like connecting to the library and Trakt to exclude movies you've watched already from showing up in BlurN. I just have to see what's possible since I have only been coding Emby plugins for a couple of hours.

 

Last but not least, I will open source this in due time.

With more feedback I will be able to improve the plugin and apply for a developer ID to publish it to the official Emby plugin store. Thanks :)

Would be nice to scrap total score for 3D Fit from here:

http://www.cinemablend.com/3d

But their rss feed is poor, and I don't see any links to IMDB or so so I think it ain't gonna happen ;)

Without an API I can plug into this would break the dev plugin rules so I can't do that. :(

I was almost sure that it's impossible... parsing/regexping DOM is pain in the *beep*, and if something changes - here we go again ;)

But feature like BD premiere notification is nice :)

Yes, that's correct. I don't wish to start a plugin that would be highly susceptible to breaking with some web design change.

Good news... I managed to get the new releases to show up as a channel. All that remains for now is to create a new task to reset the database and create images for the plugin and channel, and then I will release a new version

Please find the latest version in the first post. Whoever had installed it, please visit the new Settings page, amend accordingly and then run the new scheduled task called Reset Database. Still couldn't add the thumbnail for the channel, but at least the channel is working now.

I am on synology, why installe your plugin ?

 

Because it has a unique function of informing you which good movies have just been released on Blu-Ray, through notifications (optional) and through a channel in your Emby home.

Updated again. Now you can watch trailers, see more artwork and get links to IMDb and TMdb.

 

If upgrading from an older version, please click on the new Scheduled Task called Reset BlurN database.

Nice plugin, more accurate then what the Trailer plugin is providing.  As your results are showing stuff not listed in "New and Upcoming Movies on Dvd & Blu-ray".


I would only post updated zips in your first post and reference that whenever there is an update to avoid confusion.

Thanks. I'm updating the first post each time, but good point regarding only doing that.

Known bug found, not yet fixed because it will take some time.

 

Whenever settings are saved, the database is cleared out and you will need to run the BlurN scheduled tasks "reset database" and "refresh new releases".

Problem solved and new version uploaded to the first post in the thread. The database is no longer being cleared out. The data is being saved to a MediaBrowser.Channels.BlurN.Data.json file in the plugin configuration path

What did you mean by "country specific" please? Did you mean language?

Release dates can differ from country to country.
