nbedendo 4 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi, I falled in the world of Shortcuts and i'm coding everything, starting from home automation but also for other use. I saw that the Emby app for ios have some "Play XXXX"available actions. But i do not see a way for edit them, I'm i wrong? Is the app accepting a X-callback-url? if yes where can i find documentation for the availabe action? If not did you have in plan to do that? in Home Automation Emby need to be involved.

Luke 37028 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi, what is the use case for X-callback-url? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbedendo 4 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 From a shortcut i can run command in the app with the URL SCHEMA similar to this one: shortcuts://x-callback-url/run-shortcut?name=Calculate%20Tip&input=text&text=24.99&x-success=...&x-cancel=...

Luke 37028 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Couldn't you do something similar with the server webhooks feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbedendo 4 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 i never look in the webhook cause for domotics my personal envoronement have limited intgration. But let me have a look. By the way on the app side, the shortcuts action available… there is a way to edit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think so, because I believe those are actually just Siri Suggestions, not an actual Shortcuts action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started to play with the shortcuts and yes you are right... but if Siri is able to offer play command for random media in you library mean that there is a way for sent to the app a command. There are severl app who have no suggestion and you can just run the app in a routie or with a shortcut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 313 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 There might be a way to do what you are asking, but I was simply responding to whether or not the "Play ####" suggestion could be modified. You may be right though, it would make sense that if these Siri suggestions can start playback in the Emby app, then there might be a way to control it.

nbedendo 4 Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 my same logic... Lets see what here the developers will say. In any case i think that will be usefull include like with tha api for the server the X-Callback-url for the app.. shortcuts opened a lot o new possibility. I already did for on the ipad who my kids use in the backseat while in the car an automation who set the volume in relation to some condition (call on my phone, speed over X etc) pause while i have talk with them and more...

Luke 37028 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 With the server webhooks feature you can specify a url that will be hit based on certain events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnx as usual Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyfox 42 Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Any update? I would love the iOS app to support Siri Shortcut. For example, play.a specific Playlist would be great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
