Saving a Person's Info Locally - PriestMarmore - 2024-05-25
I only have my stuff offline and I know there are plugins for getting information about the actors (but it's not for Hollywood actors if you know what I mean).
Here's my first problem. I know there are folders for each person and when I move a photo to someone's folder, and that photo is named "folder", the Primary photo of that actor will change, however if I do the same with a photo named backdrop, it will not change on jellyfin. Why is that? Do I really need to upload it through jellyfin.
Secondly, I thought about creating a program that would read a folder and that folder contained 3 things: a Primary photo, a Backdrop and a .txt file with info about the person. I wanted that program to change the info of the actor in question based on what was there on the folder. Does that exist? Is there any way I can have information on a .txt file or a .nfo and I'm able to run a program that updates that information about the actor in question?
I wrote a bit of code, I'll leave bellow, but it's not working. This is only for the information, I didn't touch on the photos yet
import os
import requests
import json
# Jellyfin server details
jellyfin_url = 'http://localhost:8096'
api_key = ''
# Function to read person info from the info.txt file
def read_person_info_from_file(file_path):
person_info = {}
with open(file_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
lines = f.readlines()
for line in lines:
if ':' in line:
key, value = line.split(':', 1)
person_info[key.strip()] = value.strip()
return person_info
# Function to update person information
def update_person_info(person_id, new_info):
headers = {
'X-Emby-Token': api_key,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
url = f'{jellyfin_url}/Items/{person_id}'
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(new_info))
print(f'Updating person info at {url} with data: {json.dumps(new_info, indent=2)}')
print(f'Response: {response.status_code} - {response.text}')
if response.status_code == 204:
print('Person information updated successfully.')
else:
print(f'Failed to update person information: {response.status_code} - {response.text}')
# Example usage
folder_path = r'D:\Quick Access\Downloads\jelly'
info_file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, 'info.txt')
person_id = '' # Tom Cruise's person ID
person_info = read_person_info_from_file(info_file_path)
# Prepare person info payload
update_info = {
"Name": person_info.get("Name"),
"Overview": person_info.get("Overview"),
"PremiereDate": person_info.get("BirthDate"),
"ProductionYear": int(person_info.get("BirthDate")[:4]), # Assuming the birth year is the production year
"Type": "Person"
}
update_person_info(person_id, update_info)
