I've added GPU Info to Emby dashboard but does anyone...?

[chef 3745]

Hi,

 

I have successfully added GPU Temperature and load information to my Emby Dashboard through my Extras Plugin, Sweet!

 

 

Currently it works with Nvidia GPU's on Linux and Windows!

 

But I had some questions for Linux users who have NVidea cards:

 

1. Where on Linux OS's is the "nvidia-smi" file located on Linux Systems?

 

I also had some questions for people who are using AMD GPUs. I have some ways to make my plugin get AMD info, but because I don't own AMD I was hoping someone out there might have an AMD GPU who could answer a couple questions, both Windows and Linux

This might be helpful for examples of locations and different calls.

Is it possible for plugins to send websocket events so this could be updated in real time? or would you have to make an http request every x seconds

Absolutely it is! Want some code?

Yes, that would be nice..

 

As far as I knew, you could only extend the HTTP Api, not the websocket api

 

Thanks

Note: Just to let you know, I have built a plugin which allows me to persist javascript on the dashboardPage. If the Server updates and removes my Javascript file the plugin just replaces it. 

 

Here is the Websocket code:

 

Server side plugin code (This could be anywhere, but I'll use ServerEntryPoint for example:

    public class ServerEntryPoint : IServerEntryPoint
    {
        public static ISessionManager SessionManager           { get; set; }
        
        public ServerEntryPoint(ISessionManager ses)
        {
            SessionManager = ses;
        }
        public void Dispose()
        {
           
        }

        public void Run()
        {
           //Keep in mind that this initial function will run before your dashboard will load on the frontend
           // What I do here is initialize custom events that will be firing information off to the dashboard - example: Standard outputs from Bash/CMD command lines (nvidia-smi gpu data/ or server uptime data)
           
           SendMyWebsocketMessageToAdmins("DashboardAdminMessage", "Hello from the backend"); //Or you could use IJsonSerializer to serial an data object and send a whole bunch of information here
        }

        public async SendMyWebsocketMessageToAdmins(string messageName, string data)
        {
            await SessionManager.SendMessageToAdminSessions(messageName, data, CancellationToken.None);
        }
    }

Client Side Javascript:

       ApiClient._webSocket.addEventListener('message', function (msg) {
            var json = JSON.parse(msg.data);
            if (json.MessageType == "DashboardAdminMessage") {
                var data = json.Data; // Or if you have serialized json objects on the back-end then use: JSON.parse(json.Data);
                //Do whatever you want with the back-end data
                console.log(data); //Logs: "Hello from the backend"
            }
        });

Thanks

 

Now to figure out what to do with it... Could be useful for an Emby dashboard that I'm building

Sure thing! Do you need a link or did you find it okay?

[jachin99 82]

I'll need a link, thanks.

I had to check my Laptop's history, but I did find it: https://github.com/chefbennyj1/Emby.DashboardExtras

I suppose I had better push an update that utilizes the code above properly [emoji28]

That was one of the things I was thinking about

 

You might wanna check the system uptime method - I got an array index out of range error

Are you on Linux?

[jachin99 82]

Chef, sorry I'm late getting back.  I didn't realize I had to compile it.  The last version of visual studio I used was 2010 and that was about a year ago.  I have a few community editions that are newer laying around I think.  I can try to build it if need be but I'm not sure what version of MSVS your using or if your using another tool.

You should be able to build plugins just by installing VS2019 and checking the dotnet package, that should install everything that's needed

I'll build a version if everything and post on Git

[jachin99 82]

I grabbed the source, and built the plugin but nothing extra is showing on my dashboard.  I placed the assembly in emby's programdata/plugin folder and made sure it wasnt blocked.  I didn't get any build errors or warnings. 

 

Edit: I take it back.  I found the configuration file, and switched everything from false to true but only storage is showing.  I don't get uptime or weather

Did you restart the server, and clear browser data?

[rechigo 293]

Uptime endpoint is broken, weather endpoint requires some additional setup (openweathermap api key i think or something along those lines)

That's right you have to enable the items in the plugin configuration.

I did restart the server but I'm not sure how to clear browser data. Where would I put in the the weather api key, and which service so I get the key from

I believe on the plugun config page, checking the "display weather" option will bring up a dialog for the api key and where to get it
