Emby 4 Kodi Feature request. Include local trailers in TVTunes.nfo

[jachin99 87]

Emby for Kodi creates a TV Tunes.nfo file that points to video, and audio theme files as it is now.  TV Tunes uses the locations written to TV Tunes.nfo by Emby 4 Kodi to play theme videos in some skins.   When a movie or TV Show doesn't have a video backdrop, the TV Tunes addon has the option to use a local trailer as a backdrop instead but this option currently doesn't work because Emby 4 Kodi doesn't write local trailer locations in TVTunes.nfo  

 

Is there any way to update E4K to write local trailer locations to TV Tunes.nfo files?

It looks like here is the code that adds the items to tvtunes.nfo

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/blob/647af73c74c3bd4dbd1e057bd0be4ddcccaa8ae6/resources/lib/entrypoint/default.py#L1023

 

Try adding what you need to this code and do a pull request.

just to give you an update, I'm trying to get some help with making this change.  I can look at what you have written in that snippet, and kind of imitate it or tailor what is already there for theme videos but I'm not fluent in python.

That's great, thanks for the update. Let us know how it goes.

Just to be clear I did not write that code, I just did a search through the code to find where that file was written to and linked to it.

 

If you are truly interested in altering the add-on your best way forward is forking the code on github and creating a pull request that a project admin can then merge in and create a new release.

 

Also just be aware that the developer of the add-on has been absent from these forums for a number of months now and future updates and releases may be sporadic or delayed.

Latts got back to me, and said he will take a look yesterday https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=347428&pid=2947011#pid2947011  If he gets things working I'll work out the github piece with him, and hopefully angelblue pops back in at some point.
