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

[rechigo 367]

I’m running into an issue on the latest version where I’m no longer able to save the tesseract api endpoint when using a docker container name (for example, http://tesseract-ocr:8100). I now get an error message saying that only localhost and local network addresses are allowed.

@spk2010@DarWunI finished and added the "fix" to Emby deleting the time stamps. Hopefully this will fix all the problems with Emby doing that until the devs look into the problem.

I've been testing the new version since the day you posted it and I still have the same problem, the CreditsStart mark disappears when I click the "Next Episode" button. It's not a problem for me because I restore backups with Cron, but if you need any proof or logs just ask me.

New version in the test phase right now.

Btw. mind sharing the cron job?

Also just noticed that a metadata refresh makes it so Emby's own intro detection wont run on the series that had the metadata refreshed.

The devs might need to look at that one.

Beta if people want to help test.

I've been testing and re-testing this for a while now and i seem to have gotten the auto-restore fixed so that time stamps gets restores after Emby removes them.


Would love more to test it so it's sure to be bug free.

WARNING!!! This is a beta and there might be bugs, as always use at your own risk.

@Neminemhas been so kind as to help replicate the problem @spk2010has.
If no misunderstanding has happened, it look like Embys skip system might have problems sometimes when fast forwarding to many times to fast or resuming a video mid video.
It's unrelated to this plugin and does not change the metadata/time stamps of the video and going back and restarting the video usually fixes it.

Refreshing metadata, doing rescans and other things can and will in most cases remove the time stamps though, the auto-restore function is made to fix that and is in beta atm.

Is mark failed episodes for future skipping known to not work? I just ran the scheduled task once to detect and fail everything, and when I went to run it again it tries detecting all failed credits again

With the beta?

[yocker 1391]

New version up (v2.4.0) on yocksers/EmbyCredits Github.

Added:

1. Audo-Restore Markers.
   This will try and detect when Emby have changed the time markers in videos and run a backup restore if the credit markers have been removed.
2. Tracer, this will show videos that have been added and not have detection run on them yet.

Changed:

1. Small cosmetic changed.

Please note:
The Auto-Restore Markers requires automating backup running for up to date backups to use.
Also it's not a be all end all solution to Emby removing time markers, it might still fail to notice when it happens sometimes. A real solution would require a fix to Emby it self.
It does limit it happening most of the time!
 

Thank you to all who helped!! You know who you are!  
Special thanks to @Neminemfor being ready to help testing as always!!

@GrimReaperI added the functionality you suggested to the editor, thanks for the suggestions!

The new version should have it fixed.
