techywarrior 688 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Closing a connection would require additional API endpoints be created. I can add a "hide" feature but I'll need to see if it's something that would require you to hide each one every time you loaded the companion (not very useful) or if I can make it semi permanent. It would be easy enough to add an option to always hide the companion in the active connections in the companion (wouldn't effect the actual web dashboard).

techywarrior 688 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 The companion is more to give you a quick overview of what is going on and let you do some basic maintenance. I don't want to completely rebuild the web dashboard since you can easily click the logo and open the dashboard to make additional changes or get more detail. I did however add an option in the settings to hide the Chrome Companion from showing in the active connections list (only in the companion itself. This has no effect on the actual web dashboard). I also added more information on the active connections tab. I don't want to keep persistent connection open so I'm not showing progress bars or transcode percentages.

techywarrior 688 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 @@CBers maybe the text is a little confusing but it hides itself from the list IN Chrome Companion (since if you are using the companion of course it is connected).

Luke 37009 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 i would just take the option out and have it automatically do what it was doing before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Luke, before it just showed itself in the list. But some people asked for a way to hide itself since it would always have to be listed. I guess they want to see who ELSE is connected to their server. Not sure going back to always having it listed is a good idea. I would be more inclined to remove the option and always hide itself from the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techywarrior 688 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 lol, I thought you meant before (as in before the option was in place) Would have made more sense, at least to me, if you said "remove the option and have it do that automatically".

CBers 6766 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 The URL built-into the extension needs to be amended. It tries to go to http://server:8096/emby/web/index.html, but Emby complains with this: Please update your Emby bookmark to http://server:8096/web/dashboard.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Actually http://server:8096/emby/web/index.html is fine. But the preferred url is just http://server:8096/emby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techywarrior 688 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hm, it was just weird because I am not calling /News/Products yet I saw it listed in the Chrome inspector. I thought maybe the server was doing a redirect and the call I was using was being deprecated. Anyways, 1.8.1 is out which has the URL changed to /emby and I also fixed a bug where some people clicked "mark read" and it didn't take right away (pretty sure it's squished) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediacowboy 438 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Can the companion app be put back to going to the server address set up when clicking emby? As it stands now redirects to app.emby.media which I do not wish to use or setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The Chrome app is an alternative version of the online web app, and it has to use app.emby.media, sorry. However, let go of your perception that you'll always need an internet connection, because offline support is coming: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/37883-online-web-app-installable-and-offline The companion extension for saving video links is less and important and that can do whatever you guys want.

mediacowboy 438 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I use the companion app a lot at work to check the status of the server and to keep if anything has changed at home. I also use it to go directly to the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37009 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well the Chrome app that uses app.emby.media also goes directly to your server, so everything is exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
