Launch vudu external player with movie content ID

[Keo 3]

I made use of two features:

Multi versions  https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Movie-naming

Stub files  https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Media-stubs

 

In order to get the multi versions I used two stub files.  One with - vudu  one with - zzz

V comes before z so I see Vudu as the default.  I could have done something more creative but I just wanted to show you could do it this way.

 

Now interestingly, if you share with people outside your home/family and don't want them to see your Vudu listing add a Tag such as Vudu.    Then in parental access set a filter for the Vudu tag for anyone who doesn't have access to your account.

 

The title of course is just edited in meta-data editor.

 

That should work for you.

 

 

But this doesn't actually launch Vudu for instance.  It just gives you a way to track where your movie is located.  Is that correct?

Many thanks @@Deathsquirrel and @@cayars -- very clever!

Correct. Because it is based on Stub files it won't actually do anything. But it does give a nice visual.

Here is what I am working on.  Right now it's specific to hardware I own, but it launches vudu from emby directly to the movie.

Eventually I plan on having this work on a stand alone webserver not hubitat, and devices such as Samsung TV, Fire TV, as well as Roku.

Here is another project.  It would allow you to scrape your VUDU library to load the titles into Emby from a API call
