murfshake/daily-date-resolver-repo

This project is a self-hosted addon for Stremio, a media streaming app, that fixes a specific problem with daily shows like Jeopardy or late-night talk shows. Stremio normally asks for episodes using a season and episode number, but releases of daily shows are usually named by the date they aired instead, so a normal stream addon searches for the wrong thing and comes back with nothing playable. To solve this, the addon looks up the actual air date of the requested episode from a metadata source, falling back to a couple of other services if needed, then converts that date to the show's local time zone so it does not accidentally land on the wrong day. It then searches an indexer tool called Prowlarr using that date, filtering results down to ones that actually contain it. Once a match is found, it decides how to play it: usenet results are handled through a companion tool called NzbDav for near instant streaming, with a service called TorBox used as a backup for either usenet or torrent results. Running it requires Docker along with Prowlarr already set up with usenet or torrent sources. Users also need NzbDav, a TorBox account, or both, and optionally a metadata addon called AIOMetadata so episode numbers line up correctly with what a person's own Stremio already expects. Setup is done through a docker compose file, filling in values like API keys and the show's IMDb id in an environment variable list, then adding the addon's manifest URL into Stremio directly. The README includes a troubleshooting section covering common failure points, such as a show's title not matching how releases are actually named, wrong time zone settings, or authentication errors with NzbDav's web interface. It also notes that the addon's manifest link is not password protected, so sharing it means sharing access to the person's own configured services. The project is released under the MIT license.
