Also Setup TMDBH Players?

henryjfry commented 1 year ago

Setup TMDBH players will setup the additional player files I created, so one is for RD playback (like realizer) and the other is for bluray playback, either directly playing the movie or with the interim kodi title select menu.

The Diamond RD player will scrape your cloud and play episodes/movies from your cloud. So say you are watching a season pack, all those episodes are already cached so you can watch them straight from the RD cloud. So basically I rebuilt a realizer type functionality.

However if it cant find the next episode it will scrape for it with seren. Then it will rescrape your cloud and queue it up. Basically its only useful for episodes, i built it to do some pretty fuzzy episode matching as far as i am aware im the only person that uses it. So it may work for you it may not.

So with the fuzzy matching if episodes are out of order/numbered incorrectly, but the episode name matches it will attempt to match that episode by name rather than number. As some people will release some really badly numbered files.

As an example I was successfully able to watch the "special episodes" for The Nevers which are the cancelled back half of S01. TMDB has frustratingly called them all S00E01-06. Whereas TVDB has more sensibly named them S01E07-12, which is also what Trakt uses. And the released episodes not being specials were all numbered S01E06-12. So i was able to get the tmdb data back from the special season but scrape for the actual correct episode numbers and watch them without manually having to stream the links.

I built it to do stuff like that, find episodes more reliably in season packs already cached to your RD cloud and pick up 2 parters and such and annoyingly numbered episodes which dont match the scene standards.
