Media Preview Bridge: intro and credits markers from Media Preview Generator (beta)

[stevezau 0]

Hi all,

I made an app called Media Preview Generator... Docker app that builds preview thumbnails and finds intros and credits for various media servers incl Emby - https://github.com/stevezau/media_preview_generator

To get those markers into Emby, I wrote a small plugin. The app works out the intro and credits once per file, and the plugin saves them in Emby as normal intro and credits chapter markers, so the Skip Intro button just works.

For context:

• It never touches the file's own chapters.
• It only replaces markers from Emby's own intro detection (or another plugin) if you tell the app to.
• If Emby rebuilds an item's chapters, the plugin puts the markers back. If the file is replaced, it waits for new ones.
• Skipping needs Premiere, same as Emby's own intro detection.
• Nothing leaves the server.

Download (separate builds for Emby 4.9 and 4.10):
https://github.com/stevezau/media_preview_generator/releases/tag/emby-plugin-v1.0.0.0

Rename the one for your version to MediaPreviewBridge.Emby.dll, put it in Emby's plugins folder and restart. The Intro & Credits tab in Media Preview Generator will then show it as ready.

How do I get it approved for the plugin catalog?
