Custom movie card - Bioscoop Card

Bioscoop Card

In preparation to my home theater automation I build a card to search movies.
It is meant to be viewed on an tablet to select and view movies quickly.

You can search for movies and series. Clicking the poster opens extra info.
The play button is linked to an ADB command.
When the movie or show is automatically started.

Currently I have only tested and added Netflix

Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Also providing the ADB commands for popular streaming services is wanted.

Very nice.

Do you plan to add Kodi and Plex?

Nice! Going on my todo list!

Hi @Silvjor, I would love to try it, is it compatible with Fire Tv in the media_player section? I’m trying to add it like the instructions but I get “Loading Data”.

Currently I’m trying to get Kodi working.
I can start Netflix via the card but not the stream. There is no easy documentation on this.

The method used for starting a player on Kodi. Now searching how to send the stream id.

service: kodi.call_method
data:
  entity_id: media_player.kodi
  method: Player.Open
  addonid: plugin.video.netflix

Plex, probably not. That thing costs money and I can’t get Netflix installed.

I’m using Netflix as the main provider as this is what I currently have.

Fire Tv: yes, this should work.

I tried to reproduce the error you are seeing. At this moment I did not manage to find the problem.

The “loading data” is shown when the card requests data from justwatch.com. As soon as the data is loaded the images are loaded and the posters are shown.

Most probable cause could be that you can’t access justwatch.com

It still doesn’t work, out of curiosity I entered the file “bioscoop.js” and it shows these errors, is this normal? I have no idea about programming.

Thank you for the information.
This might be a compatibility issue. Are you using internet explorer?

If so it is possible to rewrite the code for this when I get behind my computer.

@Silvjor No, I’m using Chrome

Any plans to add other services?

Dosent work for me as well, stuck on loading data
