Mezzmo Trailer Checker

[jbinkley60]

Mezzmo has always had the ability to support multiple movie trailers and fetching of them (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/63779136/187081573-c66b2b60-d26c-4eca-8d4c-ca048a45a91b.jpg) has occurred via the Mezzmo metadata scraping process. The Mezzmo Kodi Addon began supporting multiple movie trailers (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#multiple-movie-trailers) (up to 20) and support for locally host (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#local-movie-trailers) high quality trailers has been available for some time. However, the process to host high quality local trailers is currently a manual process and Mezzmo's built-in You Tube module limits trailers to 720P quality, as well as downloads them in real time vs. storing them locally. We all know that playing You Tube trailers in real time can be slow at times for various reasons or trailers, like actor artwork, can disappear from the Internet

I have started working on a new concept called Mezzmo Trailer Checker which is based upon the concepts and some code from the Mezzmo Artwork Checker (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoArtworkChecker) which automates the checking, tracking and fetching new actor artwork against your Mezzmo actor database without the need to rescrape your library. It tracks the last time new artwork has been checked and allows fetching up to 1,000 new actor images at a time, along with the Mezzmo UserPoster feature to override the default images from the scrapers so you can have your preferred actor image without worry of it being over written or being removed (and stored centrally so you don't need to touch each Kodi client).

The Mezzmo Trailer Checker would be similar in concept with a few more capabilities. Here's a current set of features I am considering:



Read current You Tube movie trailer information from the Mezzmo database
Track movies which have local trailers, which don't and last checked time
Download high quality trailers from You Tube for local hosting
Automatically normalize and trim the You Tube trailers names
User selectable feature of 720P or 1080P quality trailers (if available, otherwise best quality available)
Automatically move trailers to designated location (i.e. NAS, local disk etc.)
Option for automatically locking the Mezzmo metadata (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Managing-Your-Library#metadata-locking) to avoid overriding trailer information
Option for how many movies to check in each batch run of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker
Option to limit how many trailers per movie
Option to order trailers by size
Option for supporting prefer local trailer (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#prefer-local-trailers) capability to allow You Tube trailers for Mezzmo web interface



Additional options might be checking disk space usage, trailer size limits and such. The Mezzmo Trailer Checker would leverage the existing Mezzmo Kodi addon (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki) movie trailer and sync features including automatically syncing trailer information to all Kodi clients, limiting the # of trailers to the user option and support for prefer local trailers to maximize your viewing pleasure.

I am curious what the interest level for this level of integration and automation might be ? I've already gotten the basics of the You Tube trailer downloader / name normalizing working and much of the database / automation code will come from the current Mezzmo artwork Checker. I've been hosting local trailers for my new movies for over 6 months and really like it. You might ask about the amount of space required. I have around 1,500 of my 7,500 trailers being hosted locally and they take up 42GB of storage on my Mezzmo server. This is without any limiting of trailer size other than me doing it manually. Part of this is my reason for developing this new tool, to automate the local hosting of of the other 6,000 or so movies as well as new movies.


There will be 3 prerequisites for this tool:



You will need to have Python 3.x loaded on the system running the tool
It will need to be a Windows based system
The system will need to have drive maps or local access to your Mezzmo database location and the location that will store the trailers


While Mezzmo can host local trailers via a web server vs. a local file access approach, I am not looking to initially support this capability. If there is interest in this hosting model, I'll consider it for future development.

Please let me know your thoughts on this tool concept. My goal is the continuing theme of automating things as much as possible and it easy with Mezzmo.



Thanks,

Jeff

Most of the functionality for the Mezzmo Trailer Checker tool has been written and is working. I am expecting to post an initial release on GitHub next week. Below is a sample screen output checking 2 movies from the Mezzmo database, pulling the You Tube trailers (including skipping You Tube trailers which are no longer available and trimming the extra info from the names), inserting them into the Mezzmo database (and replacing the original entries), moving them to the local trailer folder location and recording the resolution and size of the new trailers in the trailer database. It will skip movies where it already finds local trailers and allows for processing the oldest movies or the newest movies in your Mezzmo movie library. Once you run the tool the Mezzmo Kodi addon (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki) will sync the new local trailers to all Kodi clients. The daily sync process with the Mezzmo server will automatically cleanup / delete any temporary files added to the Kodi video database due to trailer playback. Again this is all automatic.

With this capability, to more quickly populate local trailers, I have proposed a new feature for the Mezzmo Kodi addon called Mezzmo Movie Previews (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Proposed-New-Features#mezzmo-movie-previews). This proposed new feature would give you a movie theater like experience where you can play up to a selected number of movie previews / trailers before playing the main movie. It would leverage the Mezzmo Kodi Addon Local Movie Trailers (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#local-movie-trailers) feature, be launched by the context menu (https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/63779136/230713576-e024c083-d9cb-41d7-acdb-1db5fedfa786.jpg) and have a few option settings. In the next release of the Mezzmo Kodi addon I will add populating the main movie release dates into the addon trailer database to prepare for this new proposed Mezzmo Movie Previews feature.

Potential settings options:


Number of previews to play (1-10)
Previews from the year the movie was released to recreate the original movie experience
Previews from the current year of movies in your library with a playcount of 0 for a modern previews experience of unwatched movies

The Mezzmo Trailer Checker is now on GitHub (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker)and I have begun creating the Wiki (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki). I am on the third release of the tool and it is now ready for broader testing I have tested it on about 100 or so trailers.

The current set of features are:



Read current You Tube movie trailer information from the Mezzmo database
Track movies which have local trailers, which don't and last checked time
Download high quality trailers from You Tube for local playback with daily limit setting
Automatically normalize and trim the You Tube trailers names
User selectable feature of 480P, 720P or 1080P quality trailers (if available, otherwise best quality available)
Option to set the maximum duration of trailers
Automatically move trailers to designated location (i.e. NAS, local disk etc.)
Option for automatically locking (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Managing-Your-Library#metadata-locking) the Mezzmo metadata to avoid overriding trailer information
Option for how many movies to check in each batch run of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker
Option to limit how many trailers per movie
Option to order trailers by size
Option to prefer official trailers
Option for local trailers only
Option for supporting prefer local trailers (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#prefer-local-trailers) capability to allow You Tube trailers for Mezzmo web interface
Check feature to update trailer size, resolution and duration after manual trailer changes
Added checks for missing trailer files and trailer files with invalid names
CSV export (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker-Data-Export) of the tracker database trailer information
Full detailed logfile (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker#output-and-logs)
Full Trailer Checker (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/How-it-works-%3F#screen-output--stats) statistics


To get started please review the Getting Started (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Getting-Started) page on the Wiki. The current version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker is v0.0.3 and can be downloaded here (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/releases/tag/mezzmo_trailer_checker_v0.0.3).

It is highly recommended to do a backup of your Mezzmo database before using the tool and in the current version the Mezzmo GUI and server service need to be stopped in order for it the checker to write to the Mezzmo database. I am looking to fix this in an upcoming release but it is always safer if just one application is writing to a database at a time.

The release notes (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/blob/main/README.txt) for the various releases can be found here.

The tool has been working very well for me, especially since the fixes in v0.0.3. Some planned features for upcoming release are:


Add the ability to fetch trailers by movie name or list of names in a file
Add the ability to remove trailers from the tracker database when they are no longer in Mezzmo
Add the ability to clear statuses in the tracker database (i.e. Bad, Long, All etc..)
Tracker database backups


The hosting of local trailers has made me watch trailers much more than before. This tool makes the job of managing them very easy.

Questions and feedback are welcome.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.9) has been uploaded to GitHub. (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker) This new
version has number of fixes and new features with the major feature being adjust trailers (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker#adjusting-trailers) which allows
both automatic and on demand bulk adjustments of the trailer frame rates and audio levels. I looked
at the frame rates on my local trailers and I had 60+ different frame rates, even though the Mezzmo
Trailer Checker asks for the same one each time. This feature has been a huge time saver and major
improvement in movie preview consistency.

v0.0.9 fixes and features:

• Added statistics for count of movies with local trailers and those with no
movie trailers in Mezzmo.
• Added trailer fps check to add trailer frame rate to trailer checker database
• Fixed bug where a check new would continually check the same trailers vs.
checking the oldest last checked trailers.
• Fixed minor bug where check new would not check a local trailer with "youtube"
trailer in the file name.
• Added the ability to automatically adjust (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker#adjusting-trailers)/ standardize local trailer frame
rates and audio levels as new local trailers are fetched with a backup option
to retain the original unmodified local trailer.
• Added on demand feature (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker#adjusting-trailers) to adjust frame rate and audio levels by trailer frame
rate, movie number or a range of movies by number.
• Added trailer frame rate statistics display.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.10) has been uploaded to GitHub. This new
version has a minor fix and adds support for nVidia hardware acceleration when adjusting the frame
rate or audio levels on local trailers.

v0.0.10 fixes and features:

• Added hardware encoding support for nVidia to speed up converting trailers
• Fixed minor bug introduced with v0.0.9 which would cause long trailers to
go through frame rate adjustments and be copied into the trailer folder
vs. being discarded.

I added a couple of Wiki pages with step-by step instructions (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker) and screenshots on how to use the Mezzmo Trailer Checker with Mezzmo to automatically
add local trailers and how to edit / update them. I hope you will find these very helpful. I have begun an FAQ Wiki page (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions) (Frequently Asked Questions) with
some of the most common questions related to running the tool with Mezzmo. The FAQ has a number of Kodi specific questions.

The tool has been working very well for me, especially since the fixes in v0.0.3. At this point the tool appears to be rock solid and I
don't have any planned features or fixes. I've used it on over 100% of my movie database and it is working great.

The hosting of local trailers has made me watch trailers much more than before. This tool makes the job of managing them very easy.

Questions and feedback are welcome.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.11) has been uploaded to GitHub (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/releases). This new
version has a minor enhancements. Testing is underway for supporting IMDB local trailers and if it
goes well should be available in the next release.

The "clean files" feature in this release can help reduce disk clutter and makes it easy to delete local
trailer files when you've removed a movie from your Mezzmo library and you are running local trailers.
You don't need to run it all the time and not after you delete each movie. Just run it periodically to
help keep things clean.


v0.0.11 fixes and features:

• Added "clean files" and "show files" commands to display and delete orphaned
trailer files which do not have a Mezzmo trailer entry in the Mezzmo library
• Added IMDB movie numbers to the mTrailers table to prepare for upcoming
support for local IMDB trailers
• Added commit to trailer database after each 500 checks during large full
library trailer database checks

To get started please review the Getting Started (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Getting-Started) page on the Wiki. The current version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker is v0.0.11 can be downloaded here. (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/releases)

It is highly recommended to do a backup of your Mezzmo database before using the tool and the Mezzmo GUI and server service need
to be stopped in order for it the checker to write to the Mezzmo database. This is a protection mechanism to ensure just one application is writing
to the Mezzmo database at a time.

The release notes (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/blob/main/README.txt) for the various releases can be found here.

I added a couple of Wiki pages with step-by step (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker) instructions and screenshots on how to use the Mezzmo Trailer Checker with Mezzmo to automatically
add local trailers and how to edit / update them. I hope you will find these very helpful. I have begun an FAQ Wiki page (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions) (Frequently Asked Questions) with
some of the most common questions related to running the tool with Mezzmo. The FAQ has a number of Kodi specific questions.

The tool has been working very well for me, especially since the fixes in v0.0.3. I find myself watching more movies in my Mezzmo / Kodi library due to the
the Mezzmo Movie Previews (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#mezzmo-movie-previews) feature and local trailers I have Mezzmo Movie Previews set to 3 previews. Now I get 3 random trailers from the release year
of the movie which haven't been watched in my library, then the main movie starts. It's an almost movie theater-like experience..

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.14) has been uploaded to GitHub (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/releases). This new
version has a bug fix an enhancement and adds two new commands to help keep the trailer database
cleaner.


v0.0.14 fixes and features:

• Simplified the IMDB trailer naming, removing random generated characters by
the trailer checker. Now random characters will only be added to IMDB
trailers if the trailer file name is a duplicate of an already existing
trailer file. This is consistent with how You Tube trailers are named. The
prior IMDB naming structure will continue to work fine. This only impacts
new IMDB local trailers.
• Added "clean bad" and "clean long" commands to remove trailer records from
the Trailer Checker database which are displayed with a 'Show" command.
Trailers that are long or bad do not get updated into Mezzmo but will stay
in the Trailer Checker database until cleaned. This do not cause a problem.
These new commands just help keep the trailer database cleaner.
• Improved duplicate trailer name checking when multiple You Tube trailer URLs
point to the same file name for the same new movie fetch.

The release notes (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/blob/main/README.txt) for the various releases can be found here.

I added a couple of Wiki pages with step-by step (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Running-Mezzmo-Trailer-Checker) instructions and screenshots on how to use the Mezzmo Trailer Checker with Mezzmo to automatically
add local trailers and how to edit / update them. I hope you will find these very helpful. I have begun a FAQ Wiki page (https://github.com/jbinkley60/MezzmoTrailerChecker/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions) (Frequently Asked Questions) with
some of the most common questions related to running the tool with Mezzmo. The FAQ has a number of Kodi specific questions.

The tool has been working very well for me, especially since the fixes in v0.0.3. I find myself watching more movies in my Mezzmo / Kodi library due to the
the Mezzmo Movie Previews (https://github.com/Conceiva/MezzmoKodiPlugin/wiki/Movie-Trailers#mezzmo-movie-previews) feature and local trailers I have Mezzmo Movie Previews set to 3 previews. Now I get 3 random trailers from the release year
of the movie which haven't been watched in my library, then the main movie starts. It's an almost movie theater-like experience..

Questions and feedback are welcome.
