Jellyfin TMDb Box Sets Plugin suggestion

[gizmomelb]

Hi all,

I've been looking at the Jellyfin TMDb Box Sets Plugin on github trying to make sense of it (dot net is not in my current knowledge) as I would hopefully like to change it so that it shows 'missing' content in box set collections.

I think I understand how it works and currently it loads all of the boxset info then compares the movie library to see if the content is in the boxset list.  If it is then it creates/adds it to the xml and progresses to the next box set data set.

What I want to do is have it add the missing movie name at least to the XML but have the listing be to an image which says something like 'movie not in collection', 'missing' etc.  and if we absolutely have to have a pointer to a video file then maybe to a small custom made mpg which is just a few frames saying the same thing 'movie not in collection'

What do you think?

The TVDB plugin has similar functionality. Check out the code in the TVDB plugin for the missing episode fetcher to see if you can adapt it for collections/box sets.

@gizmomelb do you want something like kometa?

nah, I'm not interested in making custom collections.. I would just like the existing collection 'manager' to display movies that aren't in my collection - maybe because I had no idea there were sequels eg:
original movie= pitch black, sequel = the chronicles or riddick.
original movie = the pink panther, sequel = a shot in the dark

listing all movies in the collection and having a generic graphic saying something like 'not in collection' for those that aren't in the library make them stand out.

maybe it's choice you only have one movie in your 'highlander' collection and it's a reminder of why you don't have more

Sounds like you're thinking of something akin to "Missing Episodes", a feature many of us leave turned off because it just causes problems unless you're one of the rare cases where the behavior is actually wanted.
