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

[yocker 1655]

New version "2.5.7.0" in the catalog.

Replaced the black frame detection method with a new much faster method.
Settings now auto save except the rules system which still needs the save button.

Please notes:
Any set rules MIGHT have to be updated as i had to change some things in the rules, very sorry about that!

[yocker 1655]

New version "v2.5.7.1" in the catalog.

Quick fix for hostnames not working in the OCR server settings.

[yocker 1655]

New version 2.5.7.5 available in the catalog.

Added new visual aid to fine tune time stamps with, this is available when pressing the "play at time stamp butto.
Also small bug fixes.

@yockerI've been trying to get the plugin working on Unraid with Emby running in Docker but keep getting "Video validation timed out after 10 seconds" for every episode.

Emby itself works fine, transcoding and everything. Im on Unraid with the linuxserver/emby Docker image. Did I miss something in the config or is this a known issue with Docker setups? Tried disabling hardware aceleration already but same result.

Thank you for reporting it.  

I removed an argument from FFprobe that might cause it to take a while some times and causing the time out on some systems.
It's in the catalog now.

If this doesn't fix it then it could be a number of things wrong and i would need a log from Emby with debugging enabled as well to fix it.

Forgot to say:
You can also try and disable video validation.
It checks for if there is actually a video stream before running detection, without it and if a file doesn't have a video stream the detection will just fail on the file and move on.

@yocker

It seems to be working now—thank you very much! Now I'll just run a full scan.

[yocker 1655]

New version up in the catalog (2.6.2.0).

New OCR method that improves the detection speed.


Smart Frame Skipping very simply dynamically skips frames and thus skips frames not needed for detection and in that way improves the detection speed.

Remember to report any bugs you might find!
Enjoy!

Tesseract and PaddleOCR does note have an Unraid template so you need to manually add them in Unraid's docker section.

@Neminem Made a great guide for PaddleOCR. Please note: It takes up A LOT of space, 25GB+ of docker space.
unRaid PaddleOCR setup guide. · yocksers/EmbyCredits · Discussion #5

There is also a guide for installing them in the plugin it self, there you can see how to install Tesseract or PaddleOCR.


Tesseract is a lot smaller but a little less accurate and slower but nothing major.

Just made this in time for me to leave for the next summer event.
New beta up in the catalog (v2.6.4.0)

Added ability for the plugin to read and import metadata time chapters from MKV files.
If a credit (or some close variant) is detected it will be converted and imported into Emby as CreditStart.



The setting can be found in the Performance section.
