morbidsvt 5 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm needing to know when the server is inactive, so I can take the server down to perform upgrades... or even restart for the plugin upgrades. I can look at the big blocks and see if someone is streaming something, but nothing shows when a download is complete. I've seen older requests for this, but I didn't want to revive a zombie thread. So I at least need to know when all downloads are complete, but I don't really need to see all the details. I think it would be great if there was a section of the dashboard that displayed terse server summaries of current activity. Like: Downloads: 2 Direct: 1 Transcoding: 3 etc... Would something like that be feasible? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi, where would this be located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsvt 5 Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Hi Luke. I'm envisioning it in the right column, above the Activity section. So from top down it would have the activity summary, then the activity log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Direct: 1 Transcoding: 3 What would this information relate to? Playback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsvt 5 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yep, for playback. Differentiating them doesn't really matter... they could be grouped together. I was just trying to think of a way to make the summary more useful -- more than just displaying how many current downloads there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Don't we already have that information in the active sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsvt 5 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Not for downloads. I was suggesting that in addition to showing current downloads, other streaming items could be summarized there too. The active session blocks are so large that if there are more than a few, you have to scroll down to see them. So it would be nice to have all that terse information summarized at the top of the page. But again, while that information can be found else where on the page, there's no way to tell if there are any active downloads.... only that they started at some point. I need to know there are no active downloads or streams before I take my server down for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 429 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) What about something simpler like having the servers current network activity visible on the dashboard? (upload/download mbps). It wouldn't nessesarily tell you what exactly the server is doing, but you could see at a glance its busy uploading something to someone, or just idle. Just a thought Edited May 2, 2019 by darkassassin07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsvt 5 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) If Emby can determine its own up/down bandwidth, then that might work. But if it's just displaying the stats from the server (not just Emby), it wouldn't work for me. My main issue is that you can clearly see when a stream starts, is streaming, and the streaming ends. But for downloads, you just see that it started and there are no further indicators of that status. Edited May 3, 2019 by morbidsvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbidsvt 5 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Any chance there's an update if this is feasible or not (showing media download status)? I know my brother started a download a while ago, but I have no way of knowing if it has completed or not by looking at the Emby dashboard.

Luke 37119 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Ok, currently for web app downloads you can only see when they've completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
