This follows the same functionality as the Trakt version expect its for MDBLists (Movies - mdblist.com)  If you are using public lists I dont believe you need an api key, if you use private lists, I believe you do, this could use extra testing.  Otherwise logic and functionality is the same, I just swapped out the trakt api piece for the mdblist api.

Whats the config look like? I assume you selected Series and a library that contains Series?  Also if you look at the meta for the show "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" it has the tvdbid of 430061?

 

For the Out Space error, did it make a collection but then did you delete it?

Change the "Library to add collection to" from "Collections" to whatever library has the Movies  or Series: It then creates a collection in that library, which also shows on the left nav bar also.  I guess I can filter out the "Collections" from that list.

oh , now I grasp the "Library to add collection to" selection, got it 👍

Do you think it's possible to make this a multi-selector?  That is to search from multiple libraries to match Items of the MDB List.

Why wouldn’t you have those items in the same library?

@LukeIs this a familiar error message? Does this need to be fixed on server or on the plugin side?

This is a plugin issue. The developer set it to expire.

Simple to not give it out for free….. there is some other guy selling a version for a few $ a month that’s semi comparable.

I made some updates like active periods for "holiday" collections, custom images, and better pretty reporting.
With no active license it will still generate the report of what media would have been added to the collection.

You can see samples/readme here:

Im looking for a couple users on 4.9 to test, Ill have to generate and DM activation keys. @rbjtechinterested?

Dont know yet but if you look at https://acdb.tv its 2-5 per month for a max of 120 collections, so thats 60 per year and you need to manage outside of emby. Im probably thinking 2-3 per month all in emby with unlimited collections and then a discounted yearly plan ex 20, but mine will be per emby server (most people dont have more than 1). I also dont have the overhead of having to manage web infrastructure.  I also have the exact same plugin but using Trakt lists, so I can probably do some kind of bundle pricing just need to check out what I need to do for that in the payment/licensing system, but thats all non plugin related.

It can technically be done via scraping since they dont have an API, initial runs and cache refreshes would take longer Ideally would want API access but per their site "Access to the Letterboxd API is available by request only. If you’d like to be considered for access, please email details of your intended use to api@letterboxd.com.
