julianb 38 Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) I'm sorry if I might be confused here - but I'll try to write it down for you julianb. You can reach emby from eventghost with a python script doing API calls (This can for example let you play a file or get information about a file) If you want emby to trigger events in eventghost you need to make a plugin for eventghost or a plugin for emby that triggers events in EG when something happens. Yes, this is what I want, emby to trigger event in EventGhost. Sorry if I have been unclear about what i'm asking for. Is there any documentation about creating a plugin for Emby? I would like an plugin like "when emby starts playing on "client" - trigger command: "http://localhost:2016/index.html?playbackstarted"or something else. This would make it possible to dim lights, and make eventghost fire different kind of sequences when a movie play,stop and pause.

Manuel 1 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks @@Manuel I will fix the pause events. Have the playback started commands triggered the commandline for you? I'm gonna get this fixed Hi Chef, have you had a chance to look at a fix for the pause event? It's the only thing that prevents me from using the plugin at the moment. Triggering itself works ok.

Would open up for alot of possibilities ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel 1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hi Chef, are you still looking at this? Unfortunately the error I reported still persists so I can't use the plugin at the moment... Cheers, Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel 1 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I am referring to the commander plugin from this thread: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46151346/Commander/Commander/bin/Debug/Commander1.zip I am still having the same issue I described here: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/41379-eventghost-emby-server-statusevent-log/page-2&do=findComment&comment=386916 It would be increadibly useful to get this to work as effectively anything with an http API could be controlled when starting/stopping a movie from Emby. I specifically use Domoticz and Z-wave for my home automation and would like to dim the lights with this whenever I start playing a movie.

Cheers, Manuel I actually found another way to do this, but that's for a Tellstick that I'm currently using.I am in a transfer from Emby to, well, nothing I guess. I really need ISO-support and probably it would be nice to have support for rar libraries also, so I am considering the native Kodi functionality. It is too much of a hassle for me, first unpack rar libraries, and then convert iso time mkv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3745 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Who is the original plugin developer? @@chef, is this yours? yes, I built a couple months ago, but I just didn't have the time to work out all the bugs. I didn't think people were using it, so it went on the back burner. If there is an interest in it I'll finish it. All it did was expose playback events and ran command lines. I'm not sure if it will work with any of our Linux users, because it calls "process.start", and I'm not sure if that is part of mscorlib, so it wasn't ever going to be submitted for approval in the catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel 1 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Chef, I can only speak for myself but it would be absolutely brilliant to get this plugin working. Judging by the number of comments there certainly is some interest. I apprechiate you're busy but if this could be finished I would be very grateful indeed.

julianb 38 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 The best would be if the plugin could support IFTTT Maker Channel.

Manuel 1 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Any update on this? It would be a shame if the remaining bugs could not be ironed out considering what I've seen so far so plugin is absolutely brilliant and would help a lot of people to integrate Emby into their home automation...

Manuel 1 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Hi Luke, I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand because I really can't judge how much effort is involved to get these bugs fixed so I would struggle to put a price on that. On the other hand I feel that tools like Emby live and die by the support of the community unless you decide to go for a closed source commercial solution. Don't get me wrong I apprechiate any help and realize people give up their personal time whilst having real life stuff to deal with. This is why I carefully and politely ask and leave a few weeks inbetween checking but I never got an answer. Suggesting to simply throw money at this to get it done leaves a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. I already paid money for Emby and there are other similar tools available (the most obvious one being Kodi) where not only the tool is free but there is an immense support behind it. I do contribute in other forums and will do the same here but unfortunately this sort of coding is beyond my technical abilities. I really do like Emby but it lacks in support for integration with other tools and channels. Cheers Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
