Plugin: Manage Coming Soon

[ginjaninja 617]

Purpose and Function

• [Add Movie] To speed up the creation of Coming soon movie placeholders (With Coming Soon Tag), so users can see what is coming soon.
• [Make Live] To speed up moving placeholder to live state (Library Change / Coming Soon Tag Removal / Maintain Metadata and ID across move)
• Folder names are normalised to TMDB matches (To help Emby match them correctly)
• Simple placeholder video included, option to choose your own.
• Very niche, might just be a me thing.
• Learning new UI model

Getting Started

• Register for TMDB API Key and add to config
• Create Emby API Key and add to config (Plugin uses rest /refresh endpoint to direct immediate refreshes)
• Specify your library for coming soon placeholders and library for when gone live.

Thanks for your plugin. It would be really useful imo, when the plugin could be connected to Radarr/Sonarr and setup the monitored and not available items as coming soon items in Emby.

Thanks you are very welcome. Yes i had something around this in my mind but never even half formulated (I am not familiar with the tools in this regard). Now ive got an example of how to reach out to Emby and TMDB apis, maybe the next learning point is how to provide a (webhooks?) interface which Radarr/Sonarr could consume and in return consume their interface. I think the job of the plugin would need to be lightweight without too much functionality doing 'just enough' to link something to something else; where these somethings are doing the real work (not least because im learning). If you were interested to formulate an idea id be interested to (learn to) implement it.
