To use it install the plugin from the catalogue and look in the Schedule Tasks, there should be a new one.

Is the plugin still up in the catalog? I can't seem to find it

Why might these plugins not be in the catalog? Even proxer and studio cleaner are not in the list

In Plugins > Catalog - type CTRL + F in the browser and then type in the Plugin name (or part thereof) you wish to find.

Agree the Plugins area should have a Search box but it does not..

If it's not in the Catalog, then you'll have to manually add the DLL provided by the Dev.    Dev's may not want their plugins listed in the Catalog as this suggests they are  somewhat 'supported' - when in truth, they are likely only supported 'best efforts or use at your own risk' - which as they are 'free' is 100% understandable.

it uses the refresh metadata function with the EnableRemoteContentProbe option set to true

@TeamBSorry for the OT but I'm desperately trying to adapt your plugin for jellyfin and I'm struggling a lot because I'm not a programmer. I'm almost about to give it up... Could you please give me any advice? Thank you in advance

HI, why not just use his plugin with Emby?

Question, from what I can tell if I have a duplicate entry in my library such as a local tv episode, but then also a strm link the strm link doesn't get checked does it?  Is that because metadata already exists for that library item?

For some reason its not catching all the strm files. Even in the same series and season it misses half of them. (season pack so theyr probably the same)

The plugin just calls the internal core rescan metadata function with the probe external media flag set TRUE.
You would have to check the Emby log file so see why Emby can't prob the metadata from the external link in the STRM file.

you could try turning on emby debug logging to see if it had any better into.

Hi. Make it possible to choose which strm media libraries can be excluded.

It seems that it does not work properly on emby 4.9. After I run it, there are still many strm without media information. My emby version  is 4.9.1.80.

似乎在 emby 4.9 上无法正常工作。我运行之后，还有很多没有媒体信息的 strm 。我的 emby 版本是 4.9.1.80。

me too.Under the latest system, it can extract some parts, but most of the remaining parts fail to be extracted normally. Repeating the scheduled task doesn't work either.

你好。 可以选择可以排除哪些 strm 媒体库。

Currently, there is a new project called   strmtool   – you can give it a try.

[svyaznoy362 17]

Give a link to where this project is.

There is also the StrmAssistant plugin, very feature rich! Can warmly recommend. Unfortunately with Emby v4.9.x he has made it a "PRO" edition and require a license.. But with v 4.8 it's an extremely handy tool for much more than just extracting media info!

Edit:
Just found a fork of the light version that seems to be working pretty well on the latest beta. (no license)

Actually it seems like the original "Lite version" still works with the latest Emby release. 
https://github.com/sjtuross/StrmAssistant/releases/tag/v2.0.0.30

It did not, but see above, the fork seems to do the job

Is the STRM & M3U file formats & syntax pretty similar among IPTV providers? After finally getting Emby working with the VOD stufff mostly (still not able to reliably update with new episodes but way closer than I've ever been), I'm really close to switching services as it's gone way downhill and shows no signs of getting better. I'm thinking most of the folks in here are using the same but wanted to check as this is the first I've used that I ever tried to plug into Emby.

I’ve been messing around with .strm files lately too. It’s a great way to keep the library clean, but it’s definitely a pain when you need to bulk edit the URLs or pull specific metadata out of them once they're already set up. If you’re looking to extract data from documents or notes you’ve kept about your stream sources, I actually found a handy little tool recently: https://wordimageextractor.com/. I used it to pull a bunch of reference images and link lists out of some old project docs I had saved—it’s much faster than opening every file manually if you're trying to reorganize your library assets.

Are you trying to extract the URLs into a spreadsheet, or just trying to get Emby to read the metadata tags better?
