Emby plugin for mopidy

[xsteadfastx]

hi,

 

for over a year im a user of emby and i love it alot. a long time ago i used MPD for playing music on my linux box. it worked well and some time later i found out about mopidy. its a music server written in python. its like mpd but much more extensible. it has a lot of plugins like one for youtube, soundcloud or even spotify. i wanted a way to play songs from emby on my little mopidy server running on a raspberry pi in the kitchen. I started to code on Mopidy-Emby. I fought myself through some basics of the emby api. there is alot to come. right now i need to find out how to seek through a activate stream. the "/Sessions/<ID>/Playing/seek" doesnt work for me at all... but i give my best. maybe someone find this usefull.

 

you can install it through pip with

pip install mopidy-emby

I would try it out and report your experience.

I'm not even sure how to set it up. I installed it with pip, but I have no way of knowing how to get the plugin to talk to Emby, nor if I need to install something else for Emby to talk to (besides the Mopidy client on my phone.)

 

@@Luke,  I don't think you understand how often I listen to audiobooks, nor how quickly I would give up Plex if Emby supported them. I also can not explain to my parents or my wife how to use Emby to sync files and then use an external audiobook player to listen to them. 

 

I know you work on fixing other aspects of Emby, but I need an audiobook player. I only found out about this plugin because someone on the Plex forums claimed Jellyfin has audiobook support, and when I looked into it all they have is a plugin for Mopidy. But I don't know if the Mopidy plugin for Emby still works or if it's even sufficient as an audiobook player.

I think it is not a thing and @xsteadfastx has abandoned the project as he is not using emby and mopidy anymore   the current version is not supported with the new mopidy as it uses Python 3.7 and his extension only supports 2.7. 

I would love if someone could fork this and make it work with latest 3.2 mopidy. :)

There is a version also for JF, not sure we could use that somehow..
