Emby Connect API/Radarr

Thanks, that looks good. So are you using this same script for both Sonarr and Radarr

yeah, although I havent actually tested sonarr but I assume it works fine!

 

The script originally came from a user on this forum, I just modified it to do the path substitution.

[fizzyade 128]

Let me know if it works for you, its working fine for me and its nice to have radarr refreshing the library again!

This is not working for me at all. I have tried with local and wan Emby url. I have custom script set to run for download and upgrade. Are you passing any arguments to the script? When I run the script it is giving me the following so it is executable and should be working

root@Ubuntu-1604-xenial-64-minimal /mnt/nzbget/downloads # ./embyconnectscript.sh

you dont run it directly, upload it to somewhere that your radarr can read it and then add a new connection in radarr, select script and point it at that script.

 

You use a script connection with this script instead of radarrs built in emby connection.

That's exactly what I've done. Radarr should be calling the script but I see no mention of it in the Radarr logs. Are you running the script in Radarr with any arguments?

Nope. Does it pass the test?

[Pog22 52]

Yes

 

[Pog22 52]

And this is my redacted variables

apiKey="f3bcac2random6bdb8f8"
url="https://mydomainname:443"
local_movie_path="/mnt/rclone-d/media/movies/"
local_tv_path="/mnt/rclone-d/media/tv/"
remote_movie_path="/mnt/plexdrive5/media/movies/"
remote_tv_path="/mnt/plexdrive5/media/tv/"

[fizzyade 128]

Yes

 

then it should be working as long as put the right url and api key in,

 

turn on debug logging in emby, trigger a download in radarr and once its finished (and gone from activity in radarr) have a look at the emby log, you should see that radarr triggered a refresh with the path it is refrrshing on thr emby server.

remote_movie_path="/mnt/plexdrive5/media/movies/"

You’re running emby on port 443?

 

Normally it’d be “https://mydomainname:8920”

 

or

 

for http “http://mydomainname:8096”

Yes, it's behind a reverse proxy and it's a subdomain on port 443. 

 

I'm not seeing any connection from Radarr in the Emby logs using the Wan url, i'll play around with the local address. I cannot use local Ip as it's dynamic in docker

Yes, it's behind a reverse proxy and on port 443.

Why is the IP dynamic on the docker container? Set embys container to Host and connect from your radarr script using the Docker hosts local IP.

 

if youre using the WAN IP in the script then it all depends on whether your router supports hairpin NAT at to whether that will work, you ideally should be using LAN IP’s inside your network, when you use the WAN IP you’re routing all traffic via your router instead of directly between LAN devices,

This is a remote dedi, there is no router, the docker host has a public IP so i need to use nginx-proxy for security for my docker containers and only expose port 443. 

I'm trying local hostname now as I think the reverse proxy is causing issues as I'm seeing an unknown HTTP Response 204 in the logs

Ok, i'm getting somewhere, I'm getting the connect it's just not updating

the path shown there is different to what you showed a few posts earlier which was /mnt/plexdrive5/media/movies?

 

remote_movie_path is the path to the movies that emby uses (i.e where theyre mounted if its running in a docker container)

local_movie_path is the same but for radarr, the path it uses for movies.

Ah yes, of course, I'm mounting volumes in docker, neither container would see the full path. I should have it sorted now.

 

Thanks for your help

Awsome, hopefully it’ll fine once you have the right paths in!

 

(and to b clear you only need this version of the script if the mount point inside the radarr container is different to the mount point inside the emby container)

Yes they are completely different mounts.

Working perfect now mate.

Awesome stuff, its great to have libraries refresh automatically when content is added again isnt it?

Yes, especially when I have an issue/bug where lately my scans take 4.5hrs and do a lookup every single episode. I've had to disable all scans and just schedule one at 2AM as it eats the server ram and affects transcoding and performance in general

Hello,

i tried this script, test is working, but i think it does not make library to update.

 

Is there a way to see is the script works, running it manually?

Test doesn’t do anything, that’s expected behaviour.  It just checks that the script is callable.

 

See earlier in the thread regarding what to look for in the logs about whether it’s working correctly.  I use the script as I posted it here without any problems.

[fbrassin 46]

Do you mean looking for something like this? But in radarr log or emby log?
