Usage ‐ SLM ‐ Adding Manual Movies, Shows, and Videos - babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels GitHub Wiki

Sometimes when searching, you still might not be able to find the Movie or Show you are looking for. While uncommon (see Troubleshooting / FAQ), it may happen, especially for rare or foreign content. Also you may have Videos that do not fit neatly into the Movie or Show categories. In these cases, you can always create a manual bookmark.

While Movies are relatively the same as with a search, Shows provide a different setup when clicking Add Manual:

Note that you will only be allowed to continue once you've correctly put in the number of seasons and episodes per season.

Here you will see the episodes created as designed by the user. It should be highlighted that manual entries require a Stream Link Override to be entered, otherwise they will not generate a Stream Link file.

Videos are somewhat similar to Shows in that the user is creating a 'Video Group' name and must select how many individual videos they might want.

A number is required before continuing.

Once this is done, the regular selections and controls will be made available:

Videos within a Video Group must have unique names (names can be repeated in other groups). By default, they are just given generic names like 'Input name for Video 01', prompting you to change them. Should you remove the name and not put one in, that default name will be restored. If you give two or more videos the same name, all subsequent ones after the first will be given a name upon 'Done/Generate' that will let you know they are duplicates.

Since these are manual entries, you must give them a 'Stream Link/File Override' in order for files to be generated. See Special Actions for other considerations, including about making Stream Files instead of Stream Links for various reasons and purposes.

Unlike seen with 'episodes' for TV Shows, Videos are not reordered in Stream Link Manager to be shown alpha-numerically, but instead are just displayed by creation date. In Channels DVR, you can sort any way you want, but SLM is handling their creation and management in a different manner.

Otherwise, they are exactly like other programs.
