Plugin: Ginjaninja Tools - Sync Channel - Radarr & Sonarr & ? Channel Sync Tool

[ginjaninja 624]

Purpose and Function

• Populate a Sync Channel Folder tree structure with rule based fetches from Sonarr and Radarr.
• Assign 1 or more rule based fetches to root and subfolders in the folder tree.
• Name/Rename Subfolders.
• Drag and drop UI (Groups, Conditions, Logic, Operators, Fields) to create rule sets. Realtime feedback on resultset to aid rule creation.
• Default placeholder video for "Coming Soon" functionality. Movies and Series support Emby's trailer functionality.
• Support for Emby's provider id function under "edit metadata" to provide links from Emby to Radarr/Sonarr.
• Support for image collage generation on subfolders, to show the most recent additions to the folder.
• Currently Movies and Series Endpoints are supported for Movies and Series Objects. (should be simplish to add more).
• Fields for rules are instantiated dynamically based on endpoint response.
• Learning foreign API fetching, Emby channels, IHASWEBPAGES and Claude coding.
• Primarily built from a feature request by a forum member for coming soon functionality but it morphed into more of a generic channel sync, hence the name.

Getting Started

• Create a connection (eg to Radarr/Sonarr), Create a rule set or use a default rule set, assign to a folder in the folder tree.
• Tweak your preferred re-sync trigger (default 15 minutes)

Disclaimers

• Vibe coded with Claude, backup database before 1st use until tested, special care/test server first if already  using channels with volatile data (this is my first channel plugin). This is alpha with limited testing. This isnt something i use, so development will be in repsonse to feedback/requests (its a learning project).

Changes

 

 Known Issues

• UI corruption during rule drag and drop, residual objects on screen. [refresh page to workaround]
• TMDBID/TVDBID allocation sometimes missing [1 of].
• Connection test failure doesnt gracefully recover from https>http failure. [refresh page to workaround]
• Adding multiple fetches to the same folder unknown.
• Issues and suggestions welcome.

Roadmap [potential]

• Make logging better / user friendly.
• More careful consideration over watched status. more careful consideration over refresh optimisation and api load.
• Support for a custom video placeholder/ multiple image placeholders.
• learn a bit more about css to make the plugin look like it belongs better.
• If channels could be instantiated at runtime (dont think they can), then plugin could support multiple root folders.
• Expose the endpoint parameterisation, to support syncing supported media/channel items generically with any api.

Other Info

• Plugin stores data in \programdata\data\channel-sync (good to know if you want to reset/uninstall)
