Plugin: EmbyCredits, detect end credits and add auto skip.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the plugin to just set a marker at 30 seconds from the end?
Emby already does this.

The thought process is that some shows don't have end credits, and rather than go through a re-detection loop or manually setting the offset, you could have a rule lazily do it for me

[yocker 1248]

The rules are overrides that can be added for movies with specific tags or studio metadata.
For example many netflix shows have an annoying netflix logo and sound at the end that the chromaprint tends to pick up instead of the actual end credits.
With the rules you can make it use another detection method or settings for those shows that work better.

Ah you mean to avoid the detection of credits in already failed episodes.
I am cooking up something for it, it might be a little while before i have a good system for it.

Best i can recommend atm. is using OCR detection (with paddleORC) as it tends to not fail.

[yocker 1248]

New version up (v2.2.2.0) on yocksers/EmbyCredits github.

Added:

1. File validation, this will check files for errors before running any detections and skip to next file in queue if error found.
   Can be disabled or enabled in the settings.
2. More API for remote control of the plugin.

Would it be possible to have a setting to choose whether the credit is applied x seconds before or after detection? For example, to have the credit applied before it arrives.

Sure, i will look into.

Do you mean as an offset +x sec or -x sec.

That would be interesting

No matter what I try, I can't seem to make Emby "see" the OCR Server. The server is running and reachable by entering it's IP and port in the browser but testing the connection in the plugin settings returns: "OCR test failed: Error while copying content to a stream."

Hello,

Great job until now.

 

May I suggest a reset button?

This would remove all chapters from the end credits, at the series and/or season level.

When detection is inaccurate, it may be helpful to reset them and start again with different settings.

 

What do you think ?

Please enable debugging in the settings and in Emby and then upload the emby log here.

I will do that as soon as Emby logged anything there. The error does not seem to trigger a log of any kind. 

 

Btw I got a question. I wouldn't even mind not using OCR at all because it's possible to set markers manually but then I can't seem to find any option to actually skip the credits automatically. The marker just seems to set when the "next episode" pop up appears. Or do I miss anything super obvious here?

It should log it, did you enable debug logging in Emby?

The end credit markers added by the plugin triggers the "next episode" pop ups to appear.
While Emby automatically shows should them the plugin makes them much more precise in when they should appear.

The "OCR test failed: Error while copying content to a stream." fault you are getting could point to you not having set a "custom folder", not having given the right permissions to that folder or enabled direct stream without having hardware capable of it.

So there is no option to actually automatically skip the credits? Which would be fine, just would like to know. 

I did set a custom folder and also gave both containers full rights to the custom folder.

No option to automatically skip, it only adds a time stamp in the video metadata that tells Emby where the end credits are and Emby takes it from there.

I sadly can't think of anything that might be wrong with out any logs.
Give me some time and i will make a new version with some more logging to help diagnose the problem.

For now though, can you please upload the EmbyCredits.xml file? That should at least help a bit.

I hope it helps. Honestly, if actually skipping the credits is not an option anyway there's little reason for me to try to get the plugin to work properly

Might have found the reason it failed.

You can try this version to see if it's better.

EmbyCredits.dll

This version works, thank you so much. Would you mind explaining what the issue was?

It threw out some needed information too fast so it didn't get to the OCR server.
Basically a timing issue.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I have been planning on making something like a chapter editor at some point but never got around to finish it because the plugin ChapterAPI already exists.
Maybe i should get around to finishing it.

One upside I didn't see coming was for using Infuse as a player. It does thave a "next episode" button but that only appears if one manually makes the timeline appear on screen and then the button can be pressed. The "Skip Credits" button on the other hand appears regardless and doesn't have to be put on screen manually.
