livingonline8 3 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 We need a plugin that allows us to get the metadata from data18.com I know emby has a policy regarding published API "this is over my head since I have no idea about technical stuff" But, Other platforms such as plex and kodi are using data18 just fine. I browsed the forums here and this request was made so many times but Emby is still not listening to its audience. Seriously guys, the VHS era was booming because of porn...the DVD industry after that was booming because of porn.... the internet spread like fire because of porn back in early 90's Not having data18 metadata agent is holding emby back and gives the market share for Plex even on reddit the Plex subreddits are more alive than Emby...guess why? Porn Share !!! come on guys, you have to start listening to your audience and the market this is hurting you in terms of development and gaining market share and it is hurting us the users because it grows frustration among us and divides our media between you and Plex. This makes Plex the go to platform in terms of sharing and organizing and lately Plex has stepped up their game in terms of stable updates and UI changes Luke, Do something about this please 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hi. We have the ability to allow adult only metadata plug-ins but we rely on third parties to develop and support them. It just isn't a high enough priority for the core development team at this time as we have many other things to focus on. We are happy to support a 3rd party developing this as long as it does follow our development guidelines. Those guidelines are in place for legal reasons. There needs to be an API because simply "scraping" data off of a web page is not only an extremely hard to support practice but also illegal in many contexts. I realize other products and communities choose to ignore this but my Momma always said "if all your friends are gonna jump off a cliff..." Thanks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingonline8 3 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 I actually dont know what to tell you !! if you dont see this as a priority then there is nothing i can say that can make business sense to you. historically, porn was the reason that enabled other platforms such as VHS, DVD & internet to boom and prosper. unfortunately, you have a different opinion. Anyway, it is your baby at the end and it is your business...I am not here to tell you how to run it....I was just trying to help and actually see Emby grow and gain more of the market share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swallman 39 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Working on switching over to Emby from Plex and this is one thing I would be missing. I'm a developer (old school) and would certainly be willing to take a stab at it but from what I understand the website to scrape from would have to support an API, correct? I wonder how the Plex add-on I'm using does it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37024 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Do they have an api, or do their terms of use allow pulling from the website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the Plex add-on I'm using does it... I took a quick look at the Plex plugin and it is "scraping" the html for the data. I'd suggest finding a metadata source that has an API that can be called. Then someone might implement it.

MajesticMaerlyn 17 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Not sure if this helps, but this scraper works perfectly in Plex, and the code is available at GitHub:https://github.com/PAhelper/PhoenixAdult.bundle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwoody 0 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hey, it’s already 2023. Is it possible to develop an adult plug-in? There is already a plug-in javtube on the Chinese Internet that can capture Asian adults. I hope emby official can develop a plug-in for searching European and American adults in 2024. Thank you.

ebr 14904 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hi. This is not something we are interested in for the core but plug-ins that adhere to our policy (public or approved API - no scraping) are welcome as long as they are properly marked as Adult in the catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing postings that people created adult content metadata plugins already. No need to wait for core Emby to do it. Here is a recent example. Here is a Jellyfin one that is open source that can be made to work with Emby as well. Edited November 30, 2023 by BillOatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
