[Plugin] Video backdrop by using watchstate

[xena990 8]

Emby Season Video Backdrop plugin

Season Backdrop updates a series' theme video to match the episode you just started.

When playback begins, it copies the matching intro from that season's backdrops folder into the series' backdrops/theme.mp4, so the series page plays the intro for that season and episode range.

Name files with the episodes they cover, such as theme [1-13].mp4 or intro1 [1,3-10].mp4. Your original series backdrops are saved and can be restored from the plugin's scheduled task.

Put the backdrop themes inside a season folder, and hide it so it wont add it as media.

Example path: D:\Anime\Bleach\Season 5\backdrops\theme.mp4

Example filename: 

File	Episodes
theme [1-13].mp4	1–13
theme [14-26].mp4	14–26
theme [27-40].mp4	27–40
theme [41-50].mp4	41–50

I created this using AI - Grok 4.7 so it can handle multiple anime openings (video backdrops) as i go through the series.

You can get some video backdrops from this post: Anime Video Backdrops
