Python Script: Automated Anime Filler Collections

[Beannsss 10]

I wanted to share a little script I whipped up that some of you might find useful for organizing your anime collections in Emby. If you're like me and appreciate having clear distinctions between canon and filler episodes, this tool can help you automate the process!

This Python script will automatically create three collections for a specified anime series:

• [Series Name] - CANON ONLY: Contains only the episodes considered part of the main storyline.
• [Series Name] - FILLER ONLY: Gathers all the non-canon filler episodes.
• [Series Name] - ALL EPISODES: A complete collection of all episodes.

How it Works (Briefly):

The script connects to your Emby server using its API, identifies episodes within a given series ID, and then categorizes them based on a pre-defined list of filler episodes (which you can either hardcode or pull from an external source like https://github.com/xsunzukz/anime-filler-episodes-api). Finally, it creates the three collections for easy browsing/watching.

For me I renamed the Canon one since I pulled from a Reddit Post discussing Enjoyable Filler
