Emby Telegram Notifier

[Yoas1 9]

Hi,

I build webhook server to send emby events to telegram.

 

Take a look

Hi and thanks for the effort. Installed without problems.

Unfortunately, I get no images when media is added to Emby on my test run. Just plain text.

Best thing to do is report your issue in the topic for the plugin. Thanks.

I don't know what that's from, but the user didn't provide any description of their problem. That could mean anything. The developer should ask some questions, but the user should also provide more detail.

[richenginner 2]

thank you very much!

You could spin up Docker Desktop on Windows to use this notifier container. Works flawlessly for me since months now.

[Yoas1 9]

Hi,

I built a container to run this notifier (without cloning and running another container).

I also changed the way the application works:

   1 - config file to get telegram bot token,

   2 - added admin users to receive all notifications from the server

   3 - added users to receive only new/deleted notification items from the server.

 

https://github.com/Yoas1/emby-telegram-notifier-

(if you like it give it a star in GitHub and docker hub )

[Yoas1 9]

@richenginner

If you don't want to use Docker, you can clone the repo and run the script with Python.

When I spin up the new image with yaml, I got an error at beginning.

This seems to be an error in your example yaml. It needs to be admins and not admin in line 5 it seems.

admin:

users:

If you create a new bot you must send him /start in your telegram.

Yea just recognized that too  I thought you meant Emby user ID.

[Yoas1 9]

I change it to <telegram-chatid>

does it work well?? 

Let me know if you run into the problem

Test message worked well + a small test run. Will check the next days. Keep up the great work!

[sh0rty 520]

One question though. I just need an admin and no user. When I specify the config.yaml like that, Telegram messages are sent to the recipient, but Emby throws an internal server error when sending test message + I get an error in container log.

When I delete the users section completely from the yaml, I get another internal server error because the script cannot find users section in yaml.

 

Is it correct htat I do need to specify the same chat as Admin and User in yaml? This is the only variant thats working without errors.

With the working combo, I get the telegram messages twice.

Yes I see the problem, I will try to fix it tonight
