I updated my Mattermost server over the weekend, so thought I would give this another shot.

Still getting the same error message when trying to test the connection, but it does now work 

 

Does your mattermost hook still work? I am trying to do the same for my mattermost server but get the same error and no test message come through

Hi, I would suggest attaching the Emby Server log as that will provide more information for the plugin developer to review. Thanks.

Yes, it does.  I haven't touched anything since it starting working, other than updating Mattermost.  

[Luke 40086]

Just a heads up, with the 4..8 server this will be temporarily broken until it gets updated: 

I'm here to help so please let me know if you need anything. I see the source code is on github.

Since I'm not sure ackbarr is currently active, if I don't hear from him then I'll take care of updating this.

[Luke 40086]

I've taken care of updating both plugins. Thanks guys.

I thought I'd give the 4.8.0.21 beta a quick spin and check if this still works.

I can see it updated the Slack plugin afterward, but it no longer has any settings.  I assuming this is configured in the Webhooks menu now, so I copied across the incoming webhook URL from Mattermost and selected all of the events for any and any but I'm not seeing anything in Mattermost.  I get an error message when I test the webhook, but I used to get that before.

I've had a look at the log file and can't see anything, but I'll PM a copy.

Thanks

HI, what settings do you think are missing? Where are you looking for them?

[adrianwi 253]

I can't remember exactly how I configured the Slack plugin, but the webhooks plugin only had a name and URL.  I seem to remember the previous one had more options, like user and channel?

Either way, it's not working after updating from 4.7.11.0 to 4.8.0.21

[adrianwi 253]

Where am I looking for what?  On 4.7.11.0 there was a Slack Plugin with some configurable options where I entered the details for my Mattermost incoming webhooks (e.g. URL, username, channel - see screenshot) and this sent details of emby activities to my Mattermost server.

There are no configurable options for the Slack Plugin after updating to 4.8.0.21 so I've created a new Webhook and used the same Mattermost incoming webhooks URL and given it a name.  There are no other options that I can see, other than multiple check boxes for what notifications I want to send.  I've just left them all ticked, and the two drop-downs as any and any.

Even though my emby server has continued to be used, nothing is being received on my Mattermost server since upgrading.

It might just be easier for me to rollback the snapshot I tooked before upgrading, but I thought you might want to try and fix it?

The webhooks feature has nothing to do with the slack plugin. Have you explored the Notifications section?

[adrianwi 253]

No, I've rolled back to 4.7.11.0 and everything is working fine again.

I'll see how I get on when I update to 4.8.x again, but I still can't see where you configure the Slack/Mattermost server settings.

[Luke 40086]

OK, I would try again and try the Notifications section.

Hi guys. I know this is an old thread. But any chance the slack plugin can be updated to include more details like the  discord plugin? This plugin is working great but would be really useful with more details when it sends a notification especially when a media is added to the library etc.

hi, what details?

Hi Luke thanks for the reply. 

For example, when it comes to Discord notifications from other ARR's, we receive a detailed notification like this:

A poster 
Overview
Rating
Genres
Quality
Codecs
Group
Size
Languages
Subtitles
Links
Release

I'm not sure if the same kind of notification can be created for Emby and Slack. It would be nice to display these details.

Hi, yes we can look at adding more data to it. Thanks.

Thank you. That would be amazing

@LukeAny update on this? Would be nice to see posters, links, etc that was mentioned previously for the notifications. Right now it's very barebones, with the title and a description.

The slack plugin needs to be updated for this. We'll take a look at it. Thanks.

Just giving this a bump. Any progress on the notifications? The plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years.

[Luke 40086]

The Emby Slack notification plugin 1.2.1 has been released and now includes support for images. Please see the instructions in the Slack notification setup to learn how to enable this. 

Please try it out and report your experience. Thanks !

Awesome! I'm waiting for it to show up as an update on 4.8.10.

[ryderjj89 33]

Ok I see the update and got it installed and I see it requires getting an OAuth API Token. Currently, I'm using these notifications with Mattermost. Can you maybe explain more how that would work? I have the incoming webhook already but when trying to add an OAuth application, it's asking for callback URLs.

Here's the Mattermost documentation: https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/apps/authentication/oauth2/

For the most part, Mattermost is compatible with Slack notifications, but I wonder if things differ here. The plain text notifications work fine. Also, I can get images to show up when new requests are put in through Ombi or Jellyseerr because Mattermost can preview the link to the item, like below:

Could this be done as an alternative, to just include the link to the movie based on its imdb/themoviedb/tvdb ID?

Also, you can't remove something you put in the OAuth API Token field. It says Optional but looks to be required.

<input is="emby-input" type="text" class="txtSlackApiToken emby-input emby-input-largerfont emby-input-smaller" required="required" label="(Optional) Slack OAuth API Token:" id="embyinput33">

I had to remove the bold part above in the dev tools in order to be able to save.

We could put a URL to movie db or tvdb but those would be links to their web pages and not actual image URLs.
