NextUp Plus 'X' - Syncing more episodes to mobile - PowerShell

[ginjaninja 533]

Introduction

When i am away from home, I like to have my Emby NextUp playlist downloaded to my mobile. However I needed more episodes against each series, in case i wanted to watch 2 or more whilst away from home.

This script creates a version of Emby NextUp Continue Watching as a playlist (NextupPlusX) with more episodes included. By synchronising this playlist to a device, you can ensure you always have the next X episodes available locally without relying on an internet connection.

issues/suggestions welcome.

Installation

copy files to a folder

Schedule NextupPlusX eg hourly, ensure you are using pwsh v7.0+

Update config.ps1 for your requirement/environment. (pointers in the config file)

• emby url + api key
• userid + playlistname + lookaheaddepth

Configure your playlist to sync, suggest you tick

• 'download unwatched videos only'
• 'automatically download new content'

By instancing and scheduling multiple copies of this script, each with a unique playlist name,  you can support multiple users.

System Requirements

Powershell 7, Should be Windows, QNAP, Linux agnostic (anything that has Pwsh7)

Changelog

v0.0.0.2 references the newer 4.6+ Continue Watching ribbon which can contain movies

v0.0.0.1 its alive! tested on Pwsh 7.1, not tested to destruction, wonder what will happen if the playlist is updated, whilst the device is downloading.
