Thanks @@chef! I will give it a try!

 

So close! :/ I can get the series Id, then the season id's... but it appears that both the season id AND the episodes reference the same parent id....

 

the series Doc McStuffins is id 8554

 

If I apply an additional filter of &filters=Isfolder I can get the season ID's by themselves....

 

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Emby-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -X GET "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Items?&Recursive=true&ParentId=8554&Filters=IsFolder" | jq -r '.'

If I don't use that filter I get the seasons AND the episodes....

 

This doesn't work using the Season id for the parent id

 

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Emby-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -X GET "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Items?&Recursive=true&ParentId=8555" | jq -r '.'

 

Any idea how I can filter by Type or reversing the logic to &Filters=IsNotFolder ?

I think to get episodes, remove the "isFolder" filter all together, and only have the ParentId equal to the season Id.

 

This should return episode info. I will have to test that to make sure, then I will get back to you :)

 

Not sure if it should also be recursive.

 

Edit: just read your issue... Sorry, it's returning season and episodes. I'll take a look. One minute.

Ive tested and it gives you the seasons first and then the episodes.

I got it! 8554 is the series ID.

 

Try using parent Id = 24749

 

And see if it returns episode data from season 5

That is so strange... I had tried 8555 earlier and it didn't seem to work... now it does. probably user error. Thanks!

What does "LocationTypes=Episode" do?

 

Or

 

"Media types=Episode"

 

Unfortunately the swagger doesn't like it when I test through my domain. It looks like I can't actually execute http commands fro a remote source.

 

I'll have to check when I'm back on my server.

This works to just pull back episodes from a series using parentid (203336)

".../emby/Items?Recursive=true&ParentId=203336&IncludeItemTypes=episode&api_key=<key>"

and you could add "&isMissing=false" so you only get genuine media entries

I've done it!

 

I created a Rest Sensor that polls the emby api for series with the tag for kids and makes the 'state' of said sensor a comma delimited string of name and id... IE 'Doc McStuffins:8554,Some Show:1234'

  - platform: rest
    resource: http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Items?Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=Series&Tags=kids
    method: GET
    scan_interval: 1800
    headers:
      Content-Type: 'application/json'
      X-Emby-Token: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
    name: emby_kids_series
    value_template: >
      {% for item in value_json.Items -%}
        {{ item.Name }}:{{item.Id}}{% if not loop.last %},{% endif %}
      {%- endfor %}

At system startup, after the Rest Sensor is populated, my automation calls back to the local Home Assistant API and updates the Menu Choices for TV Show with the name values from the Rest API.

  update_firetv_shows:
    url: "http://localhost:8123/api/services/input_select/set_options"
    method: POST
    headers:
      content-type: "application/json"
      Authorization: "Bearer xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    payload: >-
      {
        "entity_id": [
          "input_select.firetv_shows"
        ],
        "options": [
      {% set temp =states.sensor.emby_kids_series.state.split(',') %}
      {%- for item in temp %}
          "{{item.split(':')[0]}}"{% if not loop.last %}, {% endif %}
      {%- endfor %}
        ]
      }

5ce57c18033af_20190522_114221.png

At the set Trigger Time the automation kicks off by running an adb command to the firestick instructing it to launch emby (Emby is already set to automatically login as my daughters profile.

- id: '155648556587'
  alias: call automations for olivia device at time
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.sensor.time.state == (states.input_datetime.liv_trigger_time.attributes.timestamp
      | int | timestamp_custom("%H:%M", False)) }}'

        {% else %}
          automation.play_emby_show_on_olivia_device
        {% endif %}
  - service: automation.trigger
    entity_id: automation.turn_olivias_tv_on

  alias: launch emby on olivia device
  trigger: []

    data_template:
      device: '{% if is_state(''input_select.firetv_device'',''Olivias Room'') %}
        media_player.olivias_room {% elif is_state(''input_select.firetv_device'',''Playroom'') %}
        media_player.play_room {% elif is_state(''input_select.firetv_device'',''Office'') %}
        media_player.bathroom {% else %} media_player.olivias_room {% endif %}

        '

        data_template:
          entity_id: "{{device}}"
          command: "am start -n tv.emby.embyatv/.startup.StartupActivity" 

I have another sensor that polls the emby api and stores the value of the session id for the user.

 

If TV Show is selected, The automation will pass The SeriesId, UserId, API Token and SessionId to a home assistant script,

- id: '158575965865'

    data_template:
      show: '{% set temp =states.sensor.emby_kids_series.state.split('','') %}
        {%- for item in temp %}
        {% if states.input_select.firetv_shows.state == item.split('':'')[0] %}
        {{item.split('':'')[1]}}
        {% endif %}
        {%- endfor %}'
      token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      userid: 81839facd92b4c86991c3088275a859b
      session: '{{ states.sensor.embysessionolivia.state }}'

  get_seasons_for_series:
    sequence:
      - service: shell_command.get_episodes_cmd
        data_template:
          show: '{{ show }}'
          token: '{{ token }}'
          userid: '{{ userid }}'
          session: '{{ session }}'

Which then passes the variables to a shell_command...

  get_episodes_cmd: bash /home/rob/scripts/get_episodes.sh {{show}} {{token}} {{userid}} {{session}}

The bash script pulls all the episodes in the series and puts the Id's into an array... then it randomly selects 10 Id's and concatenates then into a string like 'ItemIds=1234&ItemIds=5678'. This is passes this string into the emby api call to launch the playlist.

seasons=$1
token=$2
userid=$3
session=$4
set -a arr
for i in $(echo $seasons | sed "s/,/ /g")
do
    arr+=( $(curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Emby-Token: $token" -X GET "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Items?&Recursive=true&ParentId=$i" | jq -r '.[][]? | .Id') )
done
result=''
size=${#arr[@]}
for ((i=1;i<=10;i++)); do
  index="$(($RANDOM % $size))"
  itm='ItemIds='
  nd='&'
  rand="${arr[$index]}"
  result="$result$itm$rand$nd"
done
result=${result::-1}
curl -X POST "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Sessions/$session/Playing?$result&PlayCommand=PlayNow&api_key=$token" -H "accept: */*" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"ControllingUserId\":\"$userid\",\"SubtitleStreamIndex\":0,\"AudioStreamIndex\":0,\"MediaSourceId\":\"string\",\"StartIndex\":0}"

Piece of cake... lol :)

That looks fantastic! Excellent job!

 

Hey, Did you notice that you can also create a websocket for emby events in the API by using "ws://" instead of "http://".

 

The only reason I mention it is because then you wouldn't have to poll for session data, the service could open the websocket and receive "Sessionstart", SessionEnd" and a bunch of playback events.

 

Your programing skills are advanced, which is why I bring it up.

The component that naively supports emby in Home Assistant appears to leverage a websocket connection. Might need to tweak some of the python code as a custom component to capture those events...

@@chef Are you sure that ItemId=1234&ItemId=5678 is the correct way to submit a 'playlist'? Once I call the service to launch the shows, the first one is indeed random, but the ones that follow are sequential....

I wonder if its ItemId=1234,5678

 

lemme try

yep its comma delimited

getting mixed results though on my my ItemIds... first couple are the correct series, then a random other show comes up.... Is it possible that an item can have a duplicate ItemId?

This seems to work

seasons=$1
token=$2
userid=$3
session=$4
set -a arr
for i in $(echo $seasons | sed "s/,/ /g")
do
    arr+=( $(curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Emby-Token: $token" -X GET "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Items?&Recursive=true&ParentId=$i&IncludeItemTypes=episode" | jq -r '.[][]? | .Id') )
done
result=''
size=${#arr[@]}
for ((i=1;i<=10;i++)); do
  index="$(($RANDOM % $size))"
  rand="${arr[$index]}"
  result="$result$rand,"
done
result=${result::-1}
curl -X POST "http://tv.domain.com:8096/emby/Sessions/$session/Playing?ItemIds=$result&PlayCommand=PlayNow&api_key=$token" -H "accept: */*" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"ControllingUserId\":\"$userid\",\"SubtitleStreamIndex\":0,\"AudioStreamIndex\":0,\"MediaSourceId\":\"string\",\"StartIndex\":0}"

Maybe my mixed result test from earlier was a fluke... seems more consistent now

I wonder if you used ItemId on the series level, and returned Include Item Types as episodes and used recursive, if you would get all the episodes of a series?

It does.

http://192.168.2.126:8096/emby/Items?Recursive=true&ParentId=13176&IncludeItemTypes=Episode&api_key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Where parent ID is the SeriesId. It returns all the episodes and episode BaseItem data. Guess I should have known. I probably should have said something from the start... DOH!

Good morning...  I have a question...

I have created a html file containing Javascript that browses the Emby library and allows me to select either a particular movie or TV show. I get the id for the media (and everything else associated with it) and would now like to play it (video or tvshow) in the same browser that's running the Javascript.. Is there an easy way to do this?

I think I need to add more detail to my previous post.  I have created a javascript app that can browse the emby library and select a file to play. Below is an example of a selected movie.

====== Movie Clicked =======================================================
emby.html:366 key: Name,  value: 4 for Texas
emby.html:366 key: ServerId,  value: 25cfcc1a8fd647f68bcb9a977e5d36aa
emby.html:366 key: Id,  value: 127
emby.html:366 key: Overview,  value: Frank Sinatra plays a tough guy who hooks up with fellow rat packer Dean Martin to open a casino in this western.
emby.html:366 key: RunTimeTicks,  value: 69072620000
emby.html:366 key: IsFolder,  value: false
emby.html:366 key: Type,  value: Movie
emby.html:366 key: UserData,  value: [object Object]
emby.html:366 key: ImageTags,  value: [object Object]
emby.html:366 key: BackdropImageTags,  value: aa3c443147002b669539219cd5a08f70
emby.html:366 key: MediaType,  value: Video
emby.html:367 =============================================================================

From this data I created the URL below by using the emby HLS API and the Id for the movie above.

      "emby.html:373 url = http://192.168.1.201:8096/emby/Videos/127/master.m3u8?api_key=2bac89852b194917b69b48a31d06f4c0"

Next, I took this URL and applied it to an HTML5 video tag as the 'src' for that tag. I get a spinning circle, but the video never plays.  I can play a local file but not a file from emby. 

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?  The API worked flawlessly for creating the library browser.

            var url = emby_url+"Videos/"+Id+"/master.m3u8?api_key="+api_key;
            //var url = "Lamp.mp4";
            console.log("url = "+url);

            var source  = document.createElement('source');   // get an HTML source tag element
            source.setAttribute('src',  url);                 // set the elements src attribute to the url
            source.setAttribute('type', "video/mp4");         // set the type attribute

            var vidNode = document.createElement("VIDEO");    // get an HTML video tag element
            vidNode.appendChild(source);                      // append the source element to the video element
            vidNode.id = "videoNode";                         // set the video tag's id to videoNode
            vidNode.controls = true;                          // set the video tags controls switch
            vidNode.autoplay = true;                          // set the video tags autoplay switch
            
            $canvas.empty();                                  // empty the DOM's canvas element
            $canvas.append(vidNode);                          // add vidNode to the DOM

            vidNode.play();                                   // play the video

hi @VicMoore have you checked out the swagger for emby urls?

On the dashboard you can access the swagger by selecting the "API" link at the bottom of the page.

you want to access "/Sessions" to begin playback if an item.

 

let me know how it goes 😀
