'Plugin Updated' notifications regularly fail to trigger

[darkassassin07 429]

Since Sept 21; The MovieDB pluggin has updated 4 times (1.7.0 through 1.7.3) yet I've only received 1 notification about it (the update to 1.7.1).

 

The 'Server Restart Required' notification triggers each time, but the plugin update notification does not always trigger. It has triggered for all prior updates, incl other plugin updates while on the same current server version. (xml tv 1.1.3, tvdb 1.4.1, and nfo metadata 1.0.77)

 

Emby Server 4.7.14 on win 10 using email notifications via outlook/hotmail smtp.

I was gonna upload it while mobile, but it was 250mb...  Got home and went to trim it and found:

it appears emby is trying to send a second email while another is being sent leading to multiple concurrent connections to the smtp server. The restart email made it, but the plugin email failed.

 

I only have one other application that sends mail via that address/server and it wasn't running at the time.

OK please try this build of the plugin and see if it helps:

MediaBrowser.Plugins.SmtpNotifications.zip

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll toss that on the server when I get home and report back after a couple plugin updates.

[darkassassin07 429]

I've shutdown the server, removed the old plugin from /emby-server/programdata/plugins and placed the new one there. (edit, I did unpack the zip)

 

After starting the server email is no longer listed as an installed plugin.

 

I then added that dll to /emby-server/system/plugins (that folder did not contain the original email plugin) and restarted again. Same results.

 

I then removed both files, replaced the original dll, restarted, and email is now back.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

 

/edit to add: now when I open the email plugin settings the only field filled in is 'SMTP username'. The rest is empty/not enabled amd the dropdown for 'configure email notifications' is also empty (click on it and it's an empty list)

 

Email notifications are however still sending as I received them upon removing and reinstalling the email plugin via the catalogue.

Oh sorry, my mistake. What I gave you requires the beta server, so just remove that.

[darkassassin07 429]

Ah, ok.

 

Also, the email config issue appears to be an issue rendering the user list specifically in the web app. From the android app, I can see the user list in the email plugin config and the correct details fill in when I select the user I've configured.

[Luke 37116]

@darkassassin07how do things compare now?

[darkassassin07 429]

This seems to be resolved. I haven't missed a notification in a while afaik. Notifications sending close together, such as a plugin update then server restart send successfully and arrive.

 

The user list rendering issue isn't applicable anymore as notifications are now configured individually by each user instead of the old global admin only config.
