Feature request: Search show/episode details

Open source124 opened this issue 7 years ago • 10 comments

Hi,

Thanks for the great app :)

It would be great if one could find a certain episode by searching for a keyword in the synopsis or a guest actor for example.

Thank you.

That is a good idea as a feature request/suggestion but, that would require ALLOT of Coding to add a Search/Query feature within already added Shows/Seasons/Episodes...

Could you explain why it would be so? It does not have to be semantic.

I recall asking ltGuillaume regarding a similar/same feature a while ago (i know it was 30+ days ago but, i can't recall exactly when) and it wasn't discounted as a possibility but, ltGuillaume did express (in so many words) the same statement i had provided.

I apologize for not elaborating on this within the last comment. I never intended it to be so blunt.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply :)

I did a search before I opened the issue and I couldn't find similar feature requests. Would you provide a link, please?

Thanks

It wasn't the same request. I'll look into this, because I really like this idea. It will indeed cost me time, so first I'll try to get TheTVDB's APIv2 working.

Thank you :)

This would indeed be a great feature!

The ability to search within the already added Shows for certain keywords located in the Title, Episode Name and even the Episode Description (as long as there's information populated in there) would be an additional bonus.

Just a suggestion... LMAO!

Yeah I'll redo the database structure when I finish the APIv2 implementation: I'll remove some info that's never presented and I'll stop putting the actors in a separate table. This way I'll save quite a bit of queries (also when updating, so it'll be faster) and it'll be much easier to implement this feature properly.

I wasn't sure if you were aware of this @ltGuillaume but, TheTVDB folks just posted the following on their forum that, I believe, may be of interest to you My Friend! :-)
