xservers 0 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Question: Is there a way to automate the following processes via bash commands?: - Video Library refresh (detect new media) - Subtitles automatic download I made a bash script that moves folders into the Emby library once are ready to be moved, and I would like to trigger the detection and automatic subtitles download without user intervention. Is it possible? Running Emby on a Syno NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hi, why not just configure it Emby library setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about library settings, but to trigger a refresh (and download the subtitles when it does) via some command once I move content into it (either that, or emby immediately detecting new content). Emby goes to a cycle to detect new content, I am talking about immediate refreshes when the content is added). This is the option I want to trigger (but also need to download the subtitles when it does): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 But in Library setup you can configure it to download subs when content is added? But I guess you can look at the api and do what you want manually. REST API Documentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lessaj 81 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 You can use the REST API to make an API call using curl. probably just need to use ScheduledTaskService. https://betadev.emby.media/reference/RestAPI/ScheduledTaskService.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMCsw 123 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 How about just enabling RTM for the library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xservers 0 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Thanks, unfortunately the subtitles download does not always trigger upon adding new content and adding new content to the libraries does not refresh until the cycle is over (being this the main reason why I'm forced to automate all this externally). I wasn't aware in all this years using Emby that it had an API. This is what I need probably. I'll give it a try, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a platform issue as Windows flags the refresh and after 90 seconds (new set interval was prevously 60 seconds) RTM stops monitoring and scans the new flagged media. But Synology is infamous for iNotify errors and requires modification to extend default values. But server log would tell you that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xservers 0 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Yeah, logs shows nothing...

Happy2Play 8356 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Not sure as this becomes a platform issue. All your media is on the Synology also correct? Doubt it will make a difference but is there a reason you are still on 4.7.14.0? As a note for the api it requires localhost or https connection but there are browser flag workarounds. Mentions in the first section of this how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RE: Emby version; absolutely... life drain... since a while back Emby got removed from the Syno repo and forces me to update it manually, so I do it once a while (when I find the time!). At any rate shouldn't be that old... is been a couple of months I believe since updated it manually. To this point, the movies added didn't appear after the changes (will remove the scheduled task as had no effect). I've also enabled debug logs just in case -attached-, but I don't see any automatic refresh trigger (although, I will trigger it manually after this message because I want to add my movies ) embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8356 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 First thing I would do is disable UPNP port mapper as it is flooding log with noise. Bottom of Network Menu (have to enable remote access to see it near bottom) or uninstall plugin. FYI you are looking at "LibraryMonitor" per your log. But per the log inotify is your issue. 2024-05-05 06:38:31.265 Error LibraryMonitor: Error in Directory watcher for: /volume1/Video/Movies 2024-05-05 06:38:31.265 Error LibraryMonitor: Error in Directory watcher for: /volume1/Video/Series 2024-05-05 06:38:31.419 Error LibraryMonitor: Error in Directory watcher for: /volume1/Video/Videoclips System.IO.IOException: System.IO.IOException: The configured user limit (8192) on the number of inotify watches has been reached, or the operating system failed to allocate a required resource. Not sure why the How to would not resolve the issue but a fellow Synology user may need to assist more. @FrostByteany ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5060 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 (edited) If it already scanned those movies once and failed it may not scan them again after the change. Add something new and post a new log. Also, the watches are still set at 8192, so nothing was changed. Redo step 3. Run the task as admin or su and check the values using the cat command to make sure they changed. Or, reboot and the script will run then. Edited May 6 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
