Plex Integration - how are y'all doing?
Does anyone have a consistently working metadata solution for Plex? Specifically for things like reoccurring news shows. I havent been able to get zero YouTube working consistently and the issues over there are dead so I thought I'd start a new thread over here for 24. There's an older thread here that I posted on and didn't get a response so thought I'd start a new one.
As far as I can tell there isn't a way to make this work. I have tried every combination of file and folder path, NFO files with XBMCnfoTVImporter ... none of it seems to work. Even if the file is named in the format that plex wants it still won't use the episode title from the file name.
I think folder view is the only option here. I'd love to be wrong tho.
Me too!! There has to be a way. Tell me more - what's the folder experience like?
Last I looked into this it required a plugin to get the data from somewhere and stuff it into Plex (e.g. like how XBMCnfoTVImporter is meant to work). Naturally Plex nerfing plugins and making them a pain to install significantly hinders this.
I guess I could have a look at having TubeSync spam update fields directly via the API. These fields:
https://www.plexopedia.com/plex-media-server/api/library/movie-update/#fields
That might at least set the title and date properly. That's unfortunately for "movie" libraries only though, AFAIK the only way to get "tv" or "series" style libraries to update items correctly would be to write a plugin or a custom metadata provider unless I've missed something in the API.
Zero tv series is the one I've seen working - have had limited luck getting it working. Haven't played at all with the metadata route
I have it working with zeroiq plex. The trick is to name your dirs like: 'Hand_Tool_Rescue [youtube2-UCasG9kJWi1eVxM0QkyqKVJQ]'
and then my files: '20231217 - rare-bow-chainsaw-restoration [Wjv75kJyZ7M].info.json' '20231217 - rare-bow-chainsaw-restoration [Wjv75kJyZ7M].jpg' '20231217 - rare-bow-chainsaw-restoration [Wjv75kJyZ7M].mkv' '20231217 - rare-bow-chainsaw-restoration [Wjv75kJyZ7M].nfo'
Nice! You had a few differences from me - the use of the title in the file, external metadata files and use of youtube2- in the channel. Trying to see if it will work with your setup!

This is immediately working better for me - I think it would be great to get this documented as a working method in either readme!
yeah, once I set everything to "youtube2" I was immediately happier with the zeroiq integration. It solved all my problems. Glad it worked for you too!
