Feature Request Local Media

[roderik-maker]

Hi TreyG, Not sure if you are still interested in adding features, but if you are, I am looking for a way to achieve the following:

• A single search interface that searches available media from a user-selected list of subscription services as well as from a directory of locally stored media files such as those hosted on a Jellyfin server (but could be some other format if that's easier).
• Ideally, upon selection of a desired search result the user is redirected to the corresponding source website/app.

Additionally, it would be nice to have:

• It would be great if a "The Netherlands" region was added.
• I would like to incorporate the search bar in my Home Assistant (Smart Home) interface, any help towards that end would also be appreciated. (I could potentially help with combining the search results and any other backend stuff provided I could use python, probably also C++ or Java but its been a while since I worked with those)

Hi @roderik-maker sorry for the delayed reply.

Those are all great ideas! Though I'm not sure how easy they would be to integrate. The main purpose of this app is to find what service/location content is on so it can be streamed from that location/service. That would make having a selected result opening in the correct website difficult, though not impossible. The local search integration might not be hard though. Are you thinking of just having an input where you can add the local url from your jellyfin/plex server and then have that be included in the search?

As for adding The Netherlands, I should be able to add that pretty easily!

I also use home assistant, but I haven't done any app dev for it. Off the top of my head, the easiest way to include the search would be to use an iframe in your dashboard and include this site. Though obviously not ideal. That's something i'd like to learn eventually though.

If there's any featured you'd like to add though, feel to submit a PR! I don't know python, so I'm not sure how to integrate it, but I'm guessing it wouldn't be hard.Right now, this app is just client-side code built with Vue JS, but I do have an old version where i was using node to save my watchlist to notion.

EDIT: Netherlands added!
