DG3IL5 2 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi there, There is a nice "send message" function build into Emby's Server 'Now Playing' screen, which allows to send a text message to any online client. I will be really glad if you can help me to change the default display time (3~4s) used by Kodi to make it a little bit longer since the message disappears way too quickly for my use. Seems that the GUI.ShowNotification function of Kodi allows to define the display time as an optional parameter. Thank you for your help Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Right now it's set to display for 4 seconds. I've increased it to 7 seconds for the next beta release. An announcement will be made when the new release is built and ...well released. Let me know if 7 seconds is better for you, at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG3IL5 2 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Angelblue, That's very nice of you, thanks a lot! 7 seconds is far better to my taste at that time, but it will be even better if i'm able to customize that display time by myself editing the appropriate file. Is this parameter hidden at the server side, or into one of the python script of the Kodi plugin? Can you point me into the right direction, so i can customize this by myself without bothering anybody, especially you? Thanks again for what you've already done Best regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 You'll have to change the file every time there's an update. It just seems odd to make it a setting. Maybe it should be a preset server dashboard admin setting: how long to display remote control notifications for... The file to change is websocket_client.py, line 237. The time is in ms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG3IL5 2 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 That's perfect, thank you so much. I was looking at the server side... could have taken me a while Indeed, some presets will be nice in the dashboard. But for now, i will modified the parameter at every update (nothing too restrictive though). Thanks again for your precious help.

CBers 6770 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've increased it to 7 seconds for the next beta release. No, 7s is too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ok... it's just usually it will be an admin message therefore, the receiving end should not be able to change how long it displays for... @@Luke any chance of a global server setting to control how long messages should display on screen? This way, all clients could be uniform for this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 21, 2016 Solution Share Posted October 21, 2016 I made it a setting (under extras > server message > Display message) for next build. The default value will be 4 seconds as it originally was. I hope a server settings will be created eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The setting is part of 2.2.53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
