Email Notifications

[dfuji 0]

It wasn't working for me, I uninstalled the plugin, restarted the server, re-installed the plugin - and it worked!

[econ 74]

This plugin hasn't been working for me since the last update.  The uninstall/reinstall worked for me as well.  It even saved the settings I had and the test notification works for the first time too.  Using gmail as smtp server.

[Luke 37086]

FYI for gmail you might need to enable an option in your Gmail account because i'm not sure if the .NET smtp api's supports default minimum security standards.

 

See here, scroll down about halfway through:

 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32260/sending-email-in-net-through-gmail

 

This is just for your own info if you want to use gmail. Maybe the .NET SmtpClient does support what it needs, i"m just not sure.

[Luke 37086]

Actually I've pushed an update to the plugin to replace the email sending with an alternative open source implementation. It should support more types of email servers now. If anyone is running the beta server and can try it out that would be helpful, thanks.

[CBers 6771]

Tried on latest dev and beta but still get an error when sending a test notification:

 

"There was an error sending the test email. Please check your email settings and try again."

 

It was doing the same on the previous version, but I still received normal notifications, so will see if I get any.

 

From the server log:

[CBers 6771]

To test the new release, I installed a new plugin but I didn't get a notification that I had installed it.

 

I went back to the previous version of the plugin and I get notifications, but the plugin is then automatically updated to the latest version.

 

So on the previous version I get notifications, but the latest I don't.

 

I've tested this on both dev and beta servers.

[Luke 37086]

Ok I pushed another update, thanks.

[CBers 6771]

Luke - not sure if this is related, but I have a notification in the Dashboard that won't mark as being "read".

 

I'm seeing this in the latest DEV and BETA releases you've just pushed.

 

There aren't any errors in either server logs.

 

I've tried marking it as read via the Emby Companion extension in the Chrome browser, but it won't change.

 

Just thought I'd mention it.

I'm seeing one message also that won't go away.  I'm still on .226 though (will update to 227 after movie is over).  I'm not using the email notification though

Being reported elsewhere.

[Luke 37086]

Are emails sending now with the previously mentioned changes?

[econ 74]

I am not getting emails when using gmail

[Luke 37086]

Please provide a server log, thanks. Also if you were using a different email provider besides Gmail with the previous version of the plugin, a comparison of before and after would be helpful. Thanks.

[CBers 6771]

Are emails sending now with the previously mentioned changes?

 

No, I'm still not receiving any emails.

 

I send through my own domain to my GMAIL account as I always have done.

 

Before the plugin was released the other day, I was receiving emails.

 

there is nothing in the server log other than:

Using the "Test Notification" option, I get the following error(s) in the server log:

Here's an email. Did this go through?

2016-11-21 19:14:01.8110 Info App: Emailing EMAIL_ADDRESS with subject Emby: A new version of Emby Server 3.1.6169.25342 has been installed (MediaServer-3).

[CBers 6771]

No emails received.

[Luke 37086]

Ok, I'm at the point of pulling this plugin from the catalog unless someone else would like to take it over. We are simply passing the criteria to external API's to send the email. It's just getting to be too much for me to have to troubleshoot why emails are not being sent.

[CBers 6771]

I'd rather you put it back as it was before you updated it and remove the TEST option.

 

Unless you can post the DLL that was working and then pull it.

 

I look after 5 different Emby server setups for friends and family and having the notifications is really useful.

 

It saves me having to connect every day to check to check all is OK.

 

I use the same email and domain as NzbGet uses for its email notifications and they are always delivered.

[tigrao 18]

For what it's worth, sending through Gmail on the latest plugin is working fine for me.

[Luke 37086]

That's interesting, thanks for the input.

[Happy2Play 8292]

Stable server 3.0.8500 and v3.0.6119.41073 sent test email fine with Hotmail.  Will test beta and updated plugin tomorrow.

[Luke 37086]

The issue remains though with the old version of the plugin, the email sending api that it's using does not seem to work with all email domains, therefore we can't really have it in the catalog because it just leads to people thinking "emby doesn't work". the new approach has some potential if we can get that to work consistently.
