A simple countdown web application that is movie/TV show oriented.
Automatically updates the backdrop based on the movie or TV show name. (TMDb API key required)
Instantly embed a YouTube video on the countdown page by pasting a link to a YouTube video into the page.
- Install NodeJS
- Clone this repository
- In the cloned repo directory, run
npm install
- Start the development server
npm start
The configuration file is src/config.json. If this file does not exist, then the application will fall back to src/config-default.json.
It's recommended to create a config.json using config-default.json as a template.
boolean
Indicates whether if you want to automatically fetch media info based on the movie or TV show's title. If this is true, then you must also populate tmdb_api_key.
string
Your TMDb API key. Required if fetch_media_info is true.
The time is editable. Just enter an amount of time in a HH:mm:dd format. (e.g. 01:20:34).
If fetch_media_info is true, then the backdrop will be fetched whenever the timer's name is changed. The search for the backdrop isn't perfect, however. For example, if you enter The Room, it could fetch the incorrect movie, "The Disappointment Room". To improve search results, add a hint to the timer name.
Paste a link to YouTube video anywhere in the page to embed and automatically play it. Supports regular YouTube (www.youtube.com) and share links (youtu.be).
Year Hint
Add a year in parentheses. For example, The Jungle Book (1967) vs The Jungle Book (2016).
TV Show Hint
If search results are turning up a movie when you actually wanted a TV show, include a season and episode in the title in the format S[0-9]{2}E[0-9]{2}. For example, House S01E02.
