chef 3745 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) I'm trying to build a plugin that sends messages easily to user sessions. Right now I can send messages when a user logs on from a client. It's still in production but I am working on it. Eariler in this thread it was mentioned that you can only send one message at a time. I have been able to broadcast to all clients that can accept messages. So I guess we'll have to see how it goes Edited June 11, 2017 by chef 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tur0k 143 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 This would be useful for me to be used to send a message to all my systems when the doorbell is rang or the door is opened when the house is in home-locked mode. How easy would it be to trigger this from my home automation system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there was no way to send them in the interface, it wasn't a very high priority to implement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3745 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I also have almost finished the ability to target specific users and have messages wait for the user to login before showing them. Edited July 1, 2017 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untoten 296 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) @@Luke @@ebr @@chef, most of my users say the message is very hard to see, if not unnoticeable due to it blending in with the app. Perhaps a color change or white border may help with this. Also, ability to reply to the server admin, perhaps as a notification in the top right. This way if I say, 'server will shut down in 5' they can say, 'almost done with x can you turn it off in an hour instead?'Of course, just implementing a basic chat could work well too.

Untoten 296 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah, but it is pretty cumbersome to do so to more than one or two connected users. It would be nice to have a "broadcast" ability that would send it to all connected users at once. This is also a good point made about 2 years ago, a broadcast would be aubdantly helpful. Or server notification when they login, perhaps you could piggyback off the welcome to emby tutorial thing. This would be nice to announce changes, upcoming events, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beta message plugin you are able to prolong the popup message.
