Plugin: TheIntroDB – Emby Plugin

[Kyouma 23]

Is there a way to remove the chapters generated from this plugin?

@Pasithea

A few more questions/suggestions.

1. Is it possible to also add a Pop up for skip credits/next episode?  
2. It would be great, if we could have a place in the UI to see, remove chapters retrieved from this plugin. Maybe also a way to submit new markers within the Plugin UI?

Thank you for making this.

@KyoumaI believe you'd need to remove all chapters from the media currently, then rescan the chapters to reset them. I'll look into adding your other suggestions though.

That means i would also lose the embedded chapters no? Then an option to only remove TheIntroDB chapters is definitely needed.

Yeah that makes sense. I'll probably have a new version out by the end of the week with that. Hopefully sooner!

You need to remove the plugin and refetch metadata of all libraries affected by the plugin atm.

Thanks, did work for me. Not the ideal way, but good to know.

Request localization support. I can provide Simplified Chinese translations if needed.

@PasitheaIve submitted timestamps about a week ago on the IntroDB website, how long do they typically sit pending for?

Hey, thanks for submitting!

As it’s a volunteer project and we have thousands of submissions to get through, it can take a while to get to your submission. Possibly a couple of months before human eyes see it.

The primary way submissions are verified is automatic when another user submits a similar time. As more users submit, the db grows exponentially.

You can however use your submission right away by requesting with your API key, as that returns pending submissions with increased weight.

Ok thanks, so far Ive contributed 22 timestamps.

I would love to see Emby add skip recap prompts to fully utilize the information that the IntroDB provides.

Thanks for the insight on how this works.

Hi, 

first thanks for this nice project!
But do I have to do this manually under "chapter"? The website shows a "Skip Recap" button in the demo, but I can't find it in Emby. So the files run normally, even though something was found, and there's no graphical way to skip it. What am I misunderstanding?

Unfortunately Emby does not provide a graphical skip button in the way TIDB needs them or way to edit the UI to add one without extra modifications. 

While Emby does have a skip intro button on some interfaces, it only supports some segment types, specific timings, etc. that aren’t able to be interfaced with TIDB’s data.

I know this is a pretty requested feature though, so I’ll look into some improvements.
