End of Life notice

@cjmanca Following this notice:

Since I heard that Plex had been working on their own version of credit detection which will soon make it’s way into the official PMS, I stopped working on this, and will no longer provide updates.

I’d just like to throw my 2 cents here and note that AFAIK Plex already has a similar thing to this (but only for opening credits), but that’s only available to Plex Pass subscribers. plex-credits-detect offloads the work into your PMS. I doubt that even if they are working on improving it, it’ll be available for non-Plex Pass subscribers, so I’d appreciate keeping this project alive.

it’ll be available for non-Plex Pass subscribers, so I’d appreciate keeping this project alive.

Even with the current project, you still need to be a Plex Pass subscriber to make use of them. All this does is add the markers to the database, you need a Plex subscription to make use of them when watching, so I don’t see how this changes anything.

Plex still doesn’t offer any way to detect multiple intros or customize how far into a show it looks for intros

That’s a fair point, and I’ll give it some thought as to whether to continue for that reason alone.

for @cjmanca – THANK YOU!! This has been a great stopgap prior to getting the native feature. Now that we’re done here, Is any database cleanup required that you’re aware of? Thanks again for your efforts here.

No cleanup needed. When plex modifies markers in any way (adding it’s own intros/credits), it completely strips all existing markers for that season before adding the new markers, so it should handle the cleanup on it’s own as it generates credits.
