collection creator - feelingwalnut - 2024-10-19
I don't code, don't know how to use github all that well but with the capabilities of ai tools i've hammered out something that seems to work.
https://github.com/feelingwalnut/jellyfin_collection/tree/main
my nfo's have <set>collectionname</set> tags which i believe are populated by the usage of tiny media manager.
the script will use movie nfo files (mine are created by tmm) scrape the information from them and use it to create xml's in the default collections directory.
the script assumes the nfo's are adjacent and named in the same manner as media files, it will search for them and use them to populate the collection xml using the paths and names it finds.
if a tmdb api key is provided it will additionally fill portions of the xml with data from their collection database, it will then download a banner and poster image from them at a rate of 10 calls per second.
it will also only build collections if two or more movies belonging are present.
it built my library collections and has been working with the exception of a handful of names that weren't properly identified for tmdb data fetching.
please improve this, it seems to be something that is really missing between the tmdb boxset plugin and manual creation.
maybe it belongs on the tmm forum.
