Currently, notification webhooks for 'markplayed' are only triggered when an item is manually marked as played. This means that automatic marks after watching an item do not trigger this notification. I realize that this notification is tied to 'user' behavior, so it reacts only based on user's behavior which is manually click the button in this case. Can we perhaps introduce another notification under 'play' that is triggered by automatic marks as played? Just like Plex's media.scrobble – Media is viewed (played past the 90% mark).

Hi, Where can I find correct usage examples of INotificationManager? I want to notify a user about problems with a token

Hi I would really like to be able to send some custom notifications to my users For example, i would like to be able to send a notification like : -"What content would you like to see added on Emby this week ? https://www.strawpoll.me/#####" -"Blabla Season3 is coming next week !" -"Server will be down for maintenance tonight" A little notification icon on the top right corner would be awesome. I looked in the Feature Requests list but i did'nt find anything like that. Thanks for reading, and for this amazing software.

I have configured Pushover for server update notifications. I should get just one message but always receive about 15, as shown in the attached screenshot from my iPhone. Any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance. Paully

BlurN will retrieve newly released movies on Blu-Ray and add notifications plus a channel listing when a movie matches a number of filters (for now age of movie in days, minimum IMDB rating, minimum number of IMDB votes and genres). This plugin may be installed from the official Emby Plugin Catalogue. Comments? Known issues Play icon shows on Emby clients despite no video being available. Will be fixed by the Emby team.

Hi everyone I'm looking for the best way to notify my users of content being updated. Currently, I've configured in the notification the "Content Update" and then installed the app "E-mail notifications" that sends it out. Apart from being a PITA to configure (you have to do it for every single user), it's a bit spammy (one email per file) and it appears to only send out a max of 2 per library update (unsure if this is a bug or the account being blocked to avoid spam like behaviour). Ideally, it would send a single email per library update with all the info in it. In a perfect world, it would actually populate a sort of internal newsletter, that the user could subscribe to. Ex: User A, ticks the box for media folder 1 and media folder 3. Does any of this already exists? How are you doing it? Thanks!

I am able to get the test email notifications but I do not receive the emails when new content is added, a user starts watching, or any other setting. I only receive the test emails.

Hello I tested the plugin to be notified of added files but the problem is that it sends an email for each added file. Wouldn't it be possible for it to send an email at a scheduled time with a list of additions? Or other workaround, being able to select the media library to monitor. Thank you

Not sure if this is an issue just my end, but If i go to 'notifications' and attempt to make any changes, when clicking save, it does not save. I do not even get a save notification. I am running beta version 4.3.0.4, but not sure if it a beta issue, or when email notifications was updates the other day

After the update 3.2.34.0 i do not receive any notification, doing a test I have this error: "There was an error sending the test notification. Please check your notification settings and try again." Log.txt

Dear all, I wish there would be an option to select for which libraries I would like to receive the "media added" notifications/notifications in general. Is the PushBullet plugin still being developed/maintained? Alternatively, is there maybe a way I did miss to configure the notification settings based on libraries directly in Emby core? My current setup looks as follows: I have three libraries: "Movies", "TV" and "Home Videos". I would like to be notified only when there are new files in "Movies" and "TV" but not in "Home Videos". Is this somehow possible right now to exclude certain libraries from notifications or who would be the person to beg for this feature to make this possible? Thanks!

Hi everyone, OK. I love Emby, but occasional missed recordings drive me nuts. Insane. I've just done a complete uninstall and reinstall/setup of Emby server and hope that will exorcise any demons remaining from my ~1 year old installation that were causing the issues. I lost two recordings last week, that were scheduled, due to unknown reasons. Anyway, while I know how to access the upcoming recordings schedule, I struggle with the lack of any recording history, or log of what recordings happened and what was missed. WMC included this information and it was invaluable in tracking down problems. So, maybe I'm ignorant and there is a history somewhere. Please enlighten me. But if not, here's how I would like it to work: There should be a recording log. It should include information about: 1. Planned recordings based on the live TV schedule. When a new day of schedule gets added, and a match to existing series etc. is found, I'd like a timestamped entry that said "At at <timestamp> Big Bang Theory S11E9 was added to record at <to/from show date/time including early start/extra padding> based on new schedule information 2. If a schedule recording is ever REMOVED from the list of things Emby is planning to do, there should be a record of it. IT would detail that the recording no longer was in the channel schedule lineup (at what time, yadda yadda), or that the the user removed that episode or cancelled the series, or whatever. 3. Based on the list of planned recordings, if something doesn't get recorded, please TELL US WHY. No tuner available? No signal? Out of disc space? 4. I'd like a nice concise list of what was actually recorded, time, channel, etc.. I figure this is what the Recordings tab is supposed to be, but for me it's always blank. Even after my re-installation. Now, notifications: I'd like two levels of notifications. Mostly, I'd like my Emby Android app to give me notifications that something has started recording, and another when it has ended recording, and for gosh sakes if something was supposed to start recording at 8:57pm and it's now 8:58pm and it isn't actually recording, I want a warning buzzer on my phone to go off and tell me there's a serious problem. Notifications on my computer aren't helpful; I'm not usually at my computer when things are recording. I'd also like the ability to get emails to this effect, as an option to using the Emby app. These notifications should also include the "something was removed from the schedule" per #2 above. This would cure a lot of ills and let me be proactive about finding out why BBT or whatever suddenly dropped from the schedule. Sorry if this sounds like a bit of a rant, but lost recordings drive me crazy. I want to be able to see what's going on, what's planned to go on, and what Emby has decided shouldn't go on, so I can mother-hen the process until I feel confident. Is any of this in the realm of doability? Thanks. Love emby, just get frustrated now and then. :-) Marc

I still use Kodi (with the Emby add-on) on a few TVs because it supports displaying notifications that are sent to its API. So for instance, I can call the Kodi JSON API endpoint with a message like: "Motion detected at the front door" "Spa temperature is 103 degrees" "New text message from John Smith" Then the message is displayed as an overlay on whatever content I'm watching (or just at the top of the screen if no media is playing). I'm able to specify a title and duration for the notification as well. In the case of Emby, I would also want to specify if the alert should be broadcast to (a) all connected devices, or ( to all devices logged in with certain USERS I'm happy to provide screenshots for how the alerts display in Kodi if that would be helpful. Any idea if something like this has been considered before or is on the roadmap? It really is the only feature that keeps me using Kodi (with Emby plugin) on my TVs instead of just using Emby directly.

I have more than one user on Emby, each with their own libraries, I can configure Emby to send notifications on new content only for certain libraries? I configured notifications only for my account, and I get them for any library, I would like other users receive notifications only for their libraries.

Hey There, I want to ask if it is possible to enhance the notifications like this: I mean to get the possibility to use tags like {Title} - For the title {Description} - Description of the $stuff you added {Poster} - Post of the $stuff you added {Link} - Direct link to the Episode/Season (If add more the two Episodes during a scan)/Movie/$otherFile {imbd/tvdb/rottenTomatoes/...} - Link to $ratingPortal (Maybe cool, but really not necessary ) ShokiNN' P.S. I use my notifications with slack. P.P.S. The shown example is from PlexPy

I have pushover set to receive notifications about Installation Failures, Scheduled task failures and user locked out. I just went through all of them and only those 3 are set for Pushover notifications. However, I keep getting announcements, or blog posts, such as "Emby Now Available for Additional Samsung Smart TV'" and "Seek Your Live TV in the Emby for Android TV Beta" Is there a way to turn these off? I agree that there is value in these announcements but I use Pushover for items that require immediate attention and these don't qualify. Thanks Josh

As an alternative to pushbullet I am requesting join by joaoapps. 1 time fee, not like pushbullet which requires monthly fee's here is the website with some info http://joaoapps.com/join/ here is the API documentation : http://joaoapps.com/join/api/ any takers? Thanks for consideration.

Luke, ever consider 3rd party notification utilities such as Prowl, Growl, Boxcar, NotifyMyAndroid, Pushover, etc etc. Would nice to be able to configure one of these to have the server notifications pushed to your device of choice.

Video Playback notifications currently use {ItemName}, which works perfect for movies, but i cannot tell which TV show it is because it only gives the Episode Title not Series Title. Thanks!

I regularly receive notifications (via Prowl) like the following: xx items have been added to your media library (where xx can be varying numbers) This information seems pretty useless if one do not know what has been added. Is there somewhere I can find out was added or is it possible to get more informative notifications? Thank you

Hey guys, I was showing off the notification feature to my wife (I use pushalot), and she was interested in also having notifications, but only from particular series (so this FR is coming from her ). Since she is home during the day, as she is now a stay-at-home Mum, the notification feature would actually be quite handy. Would it be possible to add the option in the 'New content added' notification, to only receive the message from shows that are marked as favourites? This way I could make her an account (we currently just share one) and she can mark her favourite shows that she wants to be notified for. Thanks.

Actually I'm not asking something complex just could' t find any other topic title. I'm getting "Playback started" pushover and desktop notifications for trailers and my pre-roll videos before the movie starts. This means I got 4 notification per movie playback start-up. This is kind a annoying. I think notifications must be disabled for these types of titles. Or at least it can be a user preference/option.

Is there anyway you could include support for notifications, either through a plugin or nativly, for XBMC's native JSON interface? It would be great to be notified when new shows are added right on my XBMB3C machine.

Is there anyway to add the Show name to the notifications? Currently when playback starts it only shows the episode name but I have no idea from what series. Didn't see an option to add that in the available tokens. Thanks! --Chad
