v1.2.0.0

StrmCompanion 1.2.0.0

Requires Emby 4.10 or later.

New

• Split Versions: undo merged versions for a series, season, movie or the whole library. You can follow progress live and cancel the job.
• Movie picker with type-ahead search. Merged movies are listed only once.

Fixed

• Running merge jobs at the same time could split versions that were already merged. Merge and split jobs now run one at a time. Extra jobs wait in a queue, and duplicate triggers reuse the job that is already queued.
• The settings page now reconnects to merge jobs that are waiting in the queue.

v1.1.0.0

Features

Media info extract

Specific for .strm files

This plugin uses FFmpeg to probe movies and episodes in selected libraries to extract the media information. 
This enable Emby to recognize resolution, playtime, audio-codec, subtitles, etc that Emby natively cannot do. 
It also enables for faster startup since this process has already been made.  

Can be run as a scheduled task and/or auto detect on new media. 

Auto merge

For all media types

The plugin can merge same movies and episodes across multiple libraries and folders. Emby native only merge if they are located within the same folder. This enable you to for example  have a folder of 4K movies and another one of 1080p. The plugin then finds multiple movies or episodes with the same IMDb or TVDb ID and merges them across all or selected libraries. 

Can be run as a scheduled task and/or auto detect on new media. 

Intro dectect

For all media types

The built in Emby function to detect intros can not run on .strm files. This plugin uses the same technique as Emby (chromaprint) and some other tweaks to find the intro. The detection runs on user selected shows or season, it then posts the intro markers to Emby database and it will work as native in Emby player with the "skip intro" button.

The intro detect also can list all existing intro markers even if they are not from this plugin. 

Note

Check each release for required server version.
The intro detection is work in progress. It currently works really good on some shows, and not as good on others. The process is pretty slow (I have prioritized quality over speed) but when the fingerprinting is done you can change the settings and play around with them and it will be a lot quicker. The fingerprinting is the slow process and unaffected by the user settings. 
So do the fingerprinting and then test with other settings.
