Emby User Template - Greasemonkey Script

[Fr4nsson 1]

Tested and working on Emby version 4.3.0.30, may not work on other version.

 

I made a script for Greasemonkey, a Firefox addon that allows the user to run homemade scripts and my script issues a bunch of jQuery commands that allows you to maintain a default user template so you don't have to remember all the settings.

 

This is useful in case you want every user to have the same settings and if someone, lets say messes up their display settings then you can just log into admin account and go to Dashboard -> Users -> Username -> Edit this user's profile, image and personal preferences -> Display and then you press F5 so the browser will reload the page and for the script to run. You reload the page every time you want the script to run.

 

But before you run the script you must make a initial setup with your options and user, folder-id's etc. Also, feel free to improve the script, and if you do post it here if you want.

 

Only use it with Firefox's Greasemonkey and not Chrome's Tampermonkey as Tampermonkey does not support hashtags in url's which this script utilizes, you can port it to Tampermonkey and that is very easy but you will have change the @includes and also keep the admin-lockout thing in mind.

If script fails to insert settings correctly make sure you adjust the delay for the script, make it so it runs after the page is fully loaded. Default value is 2000 msec (2 sec) search for SCRIPT-TIMER (CTRL+F) in the script to find the line in question. And there is probably a better way to handle this instead of using a timer but my scripting knowledge ain't that good, i tried a bunch of ways to make it execute the script when page was fully loaded but with to success so delay it is.

 

And as always make a backup before you try it, not that it really should be needed as I've been running it for sometime now with no errors and honestly i don't see how it could ruin anything but its better to be safe than sorry.
 

To install it you just download Greasemonkey and make a new userscript and then you copy & paste the code below and edit it so it will work for you, options and user, folder-id's etc.
