Allow to execute custom scripts on Emby events (e.g. on movie delete action)

[chef 3808]

Just downloaded and added this plugin. Before I can write scripts, this only works for 4 events, right? Playback Started, Stopped, Session Started, Updated?

 

In that case, it is not useful for me. Can you add something for deletion?

 

 

Yes, I'll add every event I can add.

Thanks for working on this plugin!

 

Before going further, my script should ‘know’ what exactly was deleted. Is it possible to retrieve path of the deleted item (movie/tvshow/etc.) from performed delete event and pass it as first argument to my script?

 

I think also for the other events would be nice to pass appropriate arguments to scripts (e.g. name of the item for Playback Started event, number of updated items for Update event, etc.)

 

In the Script Arguments field it can be reserved words for passed arguments from performed events like $ITEM_PATH$, $ITEM_NAME, $NUM_OF_ITEMS$, etc

Is there a separate thread for this plugin? I think you should create a thread for it. When will you add the delete event?

Is this plugin still being developed? I'm looking for a way to kick off a powershell script that stops Deluge downloads when a stream starts on Emby, and that restarts the downloads when the stream stops. This is fairly easy in Tautulli for Plex.

Hi, is this still being maintained? I have tried installing the plugin dll, and I can get the config page but it doesn't seem to save my scripts.

[Anthony Musgrove 217]

I'm now writing a new plugin to do this, bare with me.  It will be called Emby ScripterX ... coding it now.

[Anthony Musgrove 217]

So far ...  (Just got to wire it all up!)

Configuration:

 

 

Now all I need to do is figure out the best way to run whatever is in the textbox in a worker thread/external thread and then this plugin is fully complete.

[maegibbons 1284]

Excellent work!

 

Cant wait to test it!

Thank you so much for such a warm welcome into this amazing community.

 

Wow, hasn't a lot changed since 8th of April.   You'll now see 'Emby Scripter-X' in your Plugins Catalog under 'General'.  Enjoy, test, make it do amazing things and share it with everyone.  I can't wait to see the creativity that comes out of this.

thanks for the plugin Anthony,

 

Do you happen to know, if we wanted the invoked script to do some "emby action" is there a published way to send commands to emby  from a common windows scripting interface eg, run Emby scheduled scheduled task "XYZ" "mark item unwatched" "remove playback bookmark"

does emby have a windows executable which takes arguments or is there a easy published way to leverage the api without being a master programmer.

i can just about script with arguments but making an app to send http to emby is somewhat too complicated for me.

 

is it worth submitting a feature request for onwatched (not just played but completed)..is such an event feasible to monitor?

Absolutely!  This gave me an awesome idea, thank you - I've been working on implementing this for a day now, could you please check out the LAST post of my Plugin's DEV thread here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/84816-new-plugin-custom-scripting-emby-scripterx/

 

And let me know if this is where you're thinking of it heading.  Thank you!
