artUrl

isFullObject

  • get isFullObject(): boolean

  • Retruns True if this is already a full object. A full object means all attributes were populated from the api path representing only this item. For example, the search result for a movie often only contain a portion of the attributes a full object (main url) for that movie would contain.

    Returns boolean

isWatched

  • get isWatched(): boolean

  • Returns boolean

    True if this show is fully watched.

analyze

  • analyze(): Promise<void>

    • Generate Default Artwork: Artwork will automatically be grabbed from a video file. A background image will be pulled out as well as a smaller image to be used for poster/thumbnail type purposes.
    • Generate Video Preview Thumbnails: Video preview thumbnails are created, if you have that feature enabled. Video preview thumbnails allow graphical seeking in some Apps. It's also used in the Plex Web App Now Playing screen to show a graphical representation of where playback is. Video preview thumbnails creation is a CPU-intensive process akin to transcoding the file.
