Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, do you use /PlaybackInfo prior to playback?

[murxer83 16]

yes data from playbackinfo

 def getUpdateTimeline(self, item, transcoding, PositionTicks=None, IsPaused=False, index=0):
        if item["data"].get("PlaybackInfo"):
            params = {"MediaSourceId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["MediaSources"][index]["Id"],
                      "IsPaused": IsPaused,
                      "PlayMethod": "DirectStream" if not transcoding else "Transcode"}
            if PositionTicks is not None:
                params["PositionTicks"] = int((PositionTicks * 1000) * 10000)
            self.account.getUpdatePlayingItemProgressUser(item["data"]["Id"], params)

    def getUpdatePlayingItemProgressUser(self, Id, params=None):
        if params is None:
            params = {}
        print("[EmbyDream] get UpdatePlayingItemProgress")
        url = "{url}/Users/{UserId}/PlayingItems/{Id}/Progress".format(url=self.connector.url, UserId=self.connector.userid, Id=Id)
        data = self.connector.doPost(url=url, params=params, headers=self.connector.getHeader(), timeout=self.connector_timeout)
        status = handle_status_code(data)
        return status

Excellent, so as part of the response you are given a PlaySessionId value. You should make sure this value is attached to all of your progress reports and stream urls (if you are building those manually).

[murxer83 16]

Yes, I first query the playback info of the individual media and use the

It has always worked so far, but the users report that they have problems.

params["UserId"] = self.connector.userid
url = "{url}/Items/{Id}/PlaybackInfo".format(url=self.connector.url, Id=Id)
data = self.connector.doPost(url=url, params=params, headers=self.connector.getHeader(), timeout=self.connector_timeout)

 

Start Item

    def getSendPlayingItem(self, item, transcoding, index=0):
        if item["data"].get("PlaybackInfo"):
            params = {"MediaSourceId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["MediaSources"][index]["Id"],
                      "PlaySessionId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["PlaySessionId"],
                      "CanSeek": True,
                      "PlayMethod": "DirectStream" if not transcoding else "Transcode"}
            self.account.getSendPlayingItemUser(item["data"]["Id"], params)

    def getSendPlayingItemUser(self, Id, params=None):
        if params is None:
            params = {}
        print("[EmbyDream] Reports that a user has begun playing an item")
        url = "{url}/Users/{UserId}/PlayingItems/{Id}".format(url=self.connector.url, UserId=self.connector.userid, Id=Id)
        data = self.connector.doPost(url=url, params=params, headers=self.connector.getHeader(), timeout=self.connector_timeout)
        status = handle_status_code(data)
        return status

Here everything is still OK, I see that the user has started the stream. After a minute it shows me that the user has stopped the stream.

I transmit the progress every 10 sec. But it doesn't work on some servers. In my example above, where the request works, my own server is running here as well.

[murxer83 16]

Found the problem, it was missing a parameter. Strange that it worked with my server but still.

Old
params = {"MediaSourceId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["MediaSources"][index]["Id"],
                      "IsPaused": IsPaused,
                      "PlayMethod": "DirectStream" if not transcoding else "Transcode"}
            if PositionTicks is not None:
                params["PositionTicks"] = int((PositionTicks * 1000) * 10000)

new
params = {"MediaSourceId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["MediaSources"][index]["Id"],
                      "PlaySessionId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["PlaySessionId"],
                      "IsPaused": IsPaused,
                      "PlayMethod": "DirectStream" if not transcoding else "Transcode"}
            if PositionTicks is not None:
                params["PositionTicks"] = int((PositionTicks * 1000) * 10000)

"PlaySessionId": item["data"]["PlaybackInfo"]["PlaySessionId"] --> was missing, now it works again as it should.

 

Thanks for the help
