MyShows episode mark as watched

This user script will automatically find out which TV show and episode you're watching right now and mark it as watched on MyShows when you've watched 3/4 of the video file duration. You can also mark it manually by pressing a hotkey.

Dependencies

This plugin uses luasocket and luasec. In some cases you might need to install them separately.

Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt-get install lua-socket

Arch Linux

pacman -S lua52-socket

Mac OS X

sudo luarocks --lua-version 5.1 --tree /usr/local/ install luasocket
brew install openssl
sudo luarocks --lua-version 5.1 --tree /usr/local/ install luasec OPENSSL_DIR=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl@3

Installation

Semi-automatically using mplug

It is a plugin manager for mpv to easy install and uninstall mpv scripts.

pip3 install mplug
mplug install myshows

Though extra manual steps are still required for this plugin:

• Make sure required Lua dependencies are installed
• See the the Manually section below for details on how to provide your MyShows login credentials

Automatically with the provided script

Download the install.sh shell script and launch it.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gim-/mpv-plugin-myshows/master/install.sh
sh install.sh

It will automatically download the user script and then ask you for your MyShows credentials. After you get the message MyShows credentials have been saved you're good to go.

Manually

Download and put the myshows.lua file in your scripts configuration subdirectory (usually ~/.config/mpv/scripts/).

mkdir -p ~/.config/mpv/scripts/
cd ~/config/mpv/scripts
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gim-/mpv-plugin-myshows/master/myshows.lua

Then create a configuration file named myshows.conf in your Lua settings configuration subdirectory (usually ~/.config/mpv/lua-settings) that contains your MyShows credentials (username and MD5 hashed password)

mkdir -p ~/.config/mpv/lua-settings/
cd ~/.config/mpv/lua-settings/
# Substitude USERNAME and PASSWORD in the following statement with your MyShows credentials.
echo -e "username=USERNAME\npassword_md5=${$(echo -n 'PASSWORD' | md5sum)%  -*}" > ~/.config/mpv/lua-settings/myshows.conf

myshows.conf should look like this:

username=demo239
password_md5=0f25bd0ff7b9cfd3ebbec99f55a34b61

That's it, you're good to go.

Usage

Episode marking should be done automatically after you watch 3/4 of the video file duration. Though you can do it manually too by pressing 'myshows_mark' (default: W (capital w)) hotkey. If you want to change hotkey to something else you can do this by adding KEYNAME script_binding myshows_mark in to your input.conf.

For example, if you want to set it to B (capital b):

mkdir -p ~/.config/mpv/
echo 'B script_binding myshows_mark' >> ~/.config/mpv/input.conf

Known issues

• MyShows API in some cases can't find episode information based on even very descriptive file name, which results in episode not being marked.
