hi
first thanks for the ADDON .. i love it.
so i use the option SYNC TO DIRECTORIES to add a TV SHOW...
how come the new EPISODE of the show are not "AUTOMATICALLY "being added to the LIBRARY?
Do i have to click UPDATE ALL manually in the VIEW SYNC DIRECTORIES and STAGE it everytime there is a new EPISODE...I wish there is an automatic way...so new EPISODE shows up in the LIBRARY.
again thanks so much

Glad you like the add-on!
In the current version, when new episodes are available, you do need to "update all" synced directories and add the episodes to the library from staged.
I've been doing a ton of work on re-writing the database for the next version to make the add-on faster. Once I finish testing and debugging that, I plan on adding automatic background updates (and I can make an option to add new items to the library too).

Thanks for the feedback! It's good to know that people are using this add-on.
I just downloaded and tried to use the Amazon plugin, but unfortunately it looks like it doesn't support MacOS or Linux yet so I can't test it. As soon as I can use it on one of my computers, I'll find out what's going on and see if it's possible to fix it on my end.

I just added version 0.3.0 to my repo. See the first post for the change log. I completely changed the local database with this update, so if you run into any issues let me know and I'll fix it asap. Also, it would be a good idea to make a quick backup of your managed folder before updating.

Is it possible to add the Trakt.tv “Progress” playlist that they automatically generate for you based on any show you’ve recently watched? I know other addon that off library integration only work with Trakt lists of the list was manually created…. The Progress list is not a manually created list (it’s a smart list that just populates with the next show from whatever show(s) you’re watching…. Anyway I’d love to be able to intergrate this Trakt Progress list with my Kodi library… is that achievable with your add on🤞🤞?

1st off, ...excellent utility program.
My compliments. *****
I needed to modify utils.py because the program would fail once it got to a Movie title with ( ? and possibly # and , ).
* (This was on Windows7 PC /KODI 17.6 /Your version 2.2 /Video add -> Playlist Loader).
utils.py (original)
def clean_name(s):
''' this function removes problematic characters/substrings from strings for filenames '''
#?TODO: replace in title directly, not just filename
s = s.replace('.', '')
s = s.replace(':', '')
s = s.replace('/', '')
s = s.replace('"', '')
s = s.replace('Part 1', 'Part One')
s = s.replace('Part 2', 'Part Two')
s = s.replace('Part 3', 'Part Three')
s = s.replace('Part 4', 'Part Four')
s = s.replace('Part 5', 'Part Five')
s = s.replace('Part 6', 'Part Six')
s = s.replace(' [cc]', '')
return s
*** (Modification required to get through "plugin.video.playlistloader" movie list and not fail while writing .strm files)
def clean_name(s):
''' this function removes problematic characters/substrings from strings for filenames '''
#?TODO: replace in title directly, not just filename
s = s.replace('.', '')
s = s.replace('?', '') <<-*ADDED
s = s.replace(',', '') <<-*ADDED
s = s.replace('#', ' ') <<-*ADDED
s = s.replace(':', '-')
s = s.replace('/', '')
s = s.replace('"', '')
s = s.replace('Part 1', 'Part One')
s = s.replace('Part 2', 'Part Two')
s = s.replace('Part 3', 'Part Three')
s = s.replace('Part 4', 'Part Four')
s = s.replace('Part 5', 'Part Five')
s = s.replace('Part 6', 'Part Six')
s = s.replace(' [cc]', '')
return s
If you could apply this mod without any conflifcts, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for a very useful utility.
What do you think about adding the ability to have multiple library folders. In my case I split movies and tv shows into different libraries. Main, Kids and Documentaries. Currently with the tool, there is only one library which means all the categories would have to be mixed. Adding the ability to libraries/Folders for Kids, Documentaries etc would be quite useful. TV Shows and Movies for each Library could be in the same folder as it is now.
What's your opinion of this idea?
Cheers,
LongMan

LongMan,
That's an interesting idea and it should be doable. I'll add that to my to-do list, but it might take a while since I currently have a backlog.
