pir8radio 1231 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I know this is a request that really is not useful to most... But it would make ME happy I would like to be able to set some kind of server wide "popup" message, kind of like the new user "Tour" box that the new users see, but with my own message... Like "Server Backup in progress, you may experience laggyness or streaming issues while this backup is in progress", or "Server will be down XX-XX-XXXX from 8AM to 10AM". Useful for anyone else? Should be an easy add... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesegeezer 1828 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 But isnt the message function only from xml's located on the web servers that belong to emby? You could just create your own plugin that watches for events and auto pops up a message relevant to a process that the server is undertaking at that moment. You will just have to watch for triggers from the server and Boom your message pops up. That is to say that all your users are using the Webclient. If using a client then the client would also need to implement these messages or you create an api for clients to tap into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 12988 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 There is a message function in the remote control API that could be used for the apps that support it (the web client and MBC do I'm sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
