blive 0 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Is this still an option if someone created a network plugin; so that it could be added to the dashboard? I am working on such an item and currently working on the look. Once done, I plan to create the plugin. Is there something specific to which the Emby team would expect adherence when making such a plugin? I understand the guide is already given, but maybe there is something in addition that you would expect from a plugin that you would allow to be a part of the dashboard, if at all. Or, maybe I completely understood a previous post regarding this. Edited August 3, 2023 by blive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 HI, there is currently no way to get it on the server dashboard screen, but you can have a page in your plugin that displays this information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blive 0 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I have been going through the Emby API on GitHub and https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/How-to-build-a-Server-Plugin; rather dated. I am staying with all the reference material provided by you guys, for starters. As for the page in the plugin, I agree. Of course, this is rather aged. But there are some videos and other information that is newer. I am not new to programming, so I am more than adequately able to handle this task. Just have to make sure I have adequate time. Do you have newer resources outside of GitHub? Edited August 4, 2023 by blive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He means the single page which is named "dashboard". But a plugin can add an arbitrary number of (side-)menu entries each of which can lead to a single or multiple tabbed pages.
