[Feature Request] Time delay for new episodes added to library

[drinfernoo]

Requested by @SwuidwardBarrett:

Hey, I don't know how possible this is but a cool feature in Metalliq/Chappa'ai was the ability to delay adding the episode to a library by a day or so, would love to see that added as it prevented episodes airing on today's date but not yet aired appearing

I don't remember seeing an option to avoid creating duplicate files when adding to library too, handy for when you have downloaded episodes of a still airing show.

Great work so far by the way!

Duplicate of #28.

Has a solution been found. It seems issue's #28 and #9 link to each other but neither have a solution.

The main issue (for me) with having the episodes loaded at 12:00am on the airdate is that it's too early for there to be episode thumbnails to scrape. This problem persists on all new episodes and they need to be refreshed to load the thumbnail.

Is there a way to delay the library integration by a specified time period, or even just 6 - 12 or 24 hrs?

No, development on this project has ceased.

It's a shame. OpenMeta is just nice and simple when compared with TMDB helper which has way too much choice. I prefer to set my home screen widgets for browsing to OpenMeta. TMDB helper is great for everything else.

TMDbHelper is what I would consider to be the "spiritual successor" to OpenMeta/OpenInfo. It covers all of the functions of both add-ons, is faster than either add-on was, and has more features than both add-ons put together. If you can, it seems recommended that you start using it instead.

I use both. I prefer OpenMeta as the main widget for browsing as it's far less cluttered than TMDB helper but I use TMDB helper for everything else because as you say it is faster. I've also found OpenMeta better for searching TV episodes as some results don't show on TMDB helper. That is an important issue.
