Trickplay Filter - too many trickplays!

[TheDMV]

Heads up: this is just a "Proof of Concept" plugin. It is entirely AI generated and has been tested so far as that it works, but I can't speak any more beyond that. Manual install only.

IMO, this shouldn't be a plugin, it should be a core feature of Jellyfin.

Trickplay is great, but when turned on, it generates images for EVERY video. Every trailer, bonus clip, everything. That's a lot of extra garbage that doesn't need to be there. Jellyfin knows what is the feature film, and what are extras.

All this plugin does is when a trickplay goes to generate on a video file that isn't the main feature file, it skips it.

The plugin also has the ability to go through your media files and delete all the non-main trickplays, so you don't have to manually do it.

That's it. Trickplays work and generate as normal, but it skips making new trickplay files for your extras, trailers, featurettes and so on.

This should be a flag built into Jellyfin core, but I'm not a programmer. This was just made to see if it could be done easily (and it seems so).

To install, grab the zip:

https://github.com/TheDMV2/Trickplay_Fil....0.0.0.zip

Then, make a new sub-folder in in your config/plugins directory, (Trickplay_Filter) and then copy those files to it.
Then restart your JF server (as normal).
