NEW JustWatch plugin released

JustWatch external IDs + deep-links for Jellyfin



I put together a small provider plugin that adds a JustWatch external ID and a clickable JustWatch link to movies, series, seasons, and episodes; same idea as the built-in TMDB/IMDb links.
There's also an optional, off-by-default task that fills in the JustWatch IDs automatically (matched on TMDB/IMDb ID, then title + year). It uses JustWatch's unofficial API, so it's opt-in, throttled, and caches misses to stay light. The ID field and links work fine without ever turning doing a scan (you can manually enter them in the Metadata edit screen).
No dependency on other plugins. If other plugins or anything wants the data it can just read ProviderIds["JustWatch"]

Targets Jellyfin 10.11, but runs fine in 12.x betas as well (there will be an official 12.x version when the Jellyfin 12 Nuget is released)

Install via the repo manifest:

Feedback welcome, especially on matching accuracy across regions.

Now to answer the obvious questions:

Why: Because I like the JustWatch service and the way they show where you can watch a show/movie

What: Yes, Jellyfin is a media server, but if you've ever seen the "Missing" episodes for a show, you might see the value in a single click to take you to where it could be watched (or **legally** downloaded if you use something like [REDACTED])

How: It hits the JustWatch undocumented GraphQL and tries to match on TVDB, IMDB, Name+Year, or Name in that order to get the information and then adds an External ID for the link.

When: You can schedule it to scan, or manually enter IDs or whatever floats your boat.

TEASER: I'm building a "Collection Gaps" plugin that will give the "missing episode" treatment to more than just Episodes. In scope is Missing Movies (in a box set), Missing Seasons (in a Series), Missing Videos (Movies/Shows/etc) for an Actor/Director/etc., Missing Albums or Songs for an Artist, and Missing "Related" material (e.g. similar show/etc.) all driven by the data exposed by TMDB and JustWatch... so you can satisfy that horde hunger
