I want to write a plug in, I'll be able to write it myself but its intergrating it into Plex that I'll need a bit of help with. I'll write it in Python.
Basically its going to be to play two customized intro movies of about 30 seconds each before each film. The only thing I'm not sure of is how to tell plex to run this script before it plays the film. Is is in an XML file somewhere that I need to edit to call the script first? If so which XML file would it be?
That is a great idea that has been much discussed. Unfortunately, the necessary hooks are not available in Plex. I’m pretty sure there’s a feature request to implement the necessary code in Plex but I don’t have a link for you right now.
I see, I was hoping it would just be a XML file edit thats basically "before running film do this" but if its not its pointless. Its very easy to write a basic script to run to point to a folder to run files. Guess I'll write the script together anyway and work on it so when its able to be run in plex I can just hook it in. Thanks anyway.
