New Plugin - Custom Scripting | Emby ScripterX

Ok not sure whats wrong but your plugin is generating errors in emby when an item is added - I might be misunderstanding what it needs.

 

My settings

5e8de4f5be2bd_Annotation20200408154953.j

and

5e8de5057ca39_Annotation20200408154958.j

 

all the rest are blank

 

if i run the script locally - it works

5e8de57470165_Annotation20200408155148.j

and log file created by test.bat

 

5e8de59ba1f63_Annotation20200408155154.j

which is correct

 

But does not work in Emby

 

I get these sorts of errors - e.g. Void execute_call_cmd(System.String)?

If i remove the path to cmd.exe - so the textbox is blank

 

i get 

 

2020-04-08 16:00:34.878 Error Emby ScripterX: Invalid interpreter path, please include the full path.

 

My understanding is that the path to cmd.exe is not needed in windows (win10 in this case) as its on the path variable - so not sure why its need??

 

Same would apply to powershell which is ultimately what i want to use so a simple

 

powershell -command "& F:\videos\ScripterX-test.ps1 -Name %item.name% -ID %item.id% -Type %item.type% -LibName %item.library.name%" - should work also - but currently does not - hence i reverted to a bat file for testing

 

(-Name, -ID etc are just parameters that the test powershell script understand - which is called by the bat file)

 

So hopefully its something simple :)

 

Thank you for this feedback :) Looking into this now!

 

 

Can you please do me a favor and set the interpreter path to c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe (or whereever powershell.exe is located on your system - typically here), and set the textbox for the event to your command (ie: -command "& F:\videos\ScripterX-test.ps1 -Name %item.name% -ID %item.id% -Type %item.type% -LibName %item.library.name%")

 

So basically, the interpreter path will point to powershell.exe, and the onEvent textbox will be your arguments to powershell.

 

Can you please let me know if this works?

 

kindest regards.

Added %item.update.reason% As an available token for onItemUpdated, eg:

 

‪D:\embyscripts\test.bat Media Item Updated "%item.name%" "%item.path%" (Update Reason: %item.update.reason%)

 

Media Item Updated "1917" "D:\Media\Movies\1917.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX] - Copy.mp4" (Update Reason: MetadataEdit)

Added new functionality, 

 

5e8ea8bdd4731_ScripterX_Logo_1007.png

 

Added event:  on Library Scan Completed, no tokens available yet.

 

Configuration:

 

5e8ea9380efc3_onLibraryScanComplete.png

 

Output:

 

5e8ea947f0540_OnLibraryScanComplete_Outp

 

What sort of tokens/data would be useful for this function?  Let me know!

Added: %series.id%, %series.name%, %season.id%, %season.name% 

 

If Item type is Episode, these tokens are available, if its a movie, it will ignore these tokens - any suggestions/comments/feedback on this is welcome.  I can also have it set these variables to a particular value if the item isn't an episode, for example, if it were a movie, %sseason.name% etc can be set to 'None' or 'NotAnEpisode' or 'Movie' ?  Any feedback welcome!

 

5e8e7d37dacef_ScripterX_Logo_1005.png

 

Eg:

TV Episode:

PlaybackStart ItemID: 593 - Name: "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" - Path: "D:\Media\TV\Family Guy\S01\S01E07 - Brian - Portrait Of A Dog.avi" - Username: Anthony - DeviceName: Firefox - ItemType: item type: Episode - LibraryName: TV - LibraryContentType: tvshows (seriesname: Family Guy) (season: Season 1) 
PlaybackStart ItemID: 593 - Name: "Brian: Portrait of a Dog" - Path: "D:\Media\TV\Family Guy\S01\S01E07 - Brian - Portrait Of A Dog.avi" - Username: Anthony - DeviceName: Firefox - ItemType: item type: Episode - LibraryName: TV - LibraryContentType: tvshows (seriesname: Family Guy) (season: Season 1) 
 
 
Movie: (see how %series.name, %season.name% are not resolved? thats because they don't exist, this is what I'm asking about - if you'd like them set to a default value etc)
PlaybackStart ItemID: 652 - Name: "1917" - Path: "D:\Media\Movies\1917.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX] - Copy.mp4" - Username: Anthony - DeviceName: Firefox - ItemType: item type: Movie - LibraryName: Movies - LibraryContentType: movies (seriesname: %series.name%) (season: %season.name%) 
PlaybackStart ItemID: 652 - Name: "1917" - Path: "D:\Media\Movies\1917.2019.1080p.BluRay.x264.AAC5.1-[YTS.MX] - Copy.mp4" - Username: Anthony - DeviceName: Firefox - ItemType: item type: Movie - LibraryName: Movies - LibraryContentType: movies (seriesname: %series.name%) (season: %season.name%) 
 

 

For me - returning the variable name e.g. %series.name% - is fine as its then easy to check if there is "no" data

Yep already tried that first before went to bat file and it does not work - nothing happens

 

To me its how you are calling the interpreter - that on the face of it is the issue

 

Could you add some debug lines to the emby log showing what you are passing to the system as we get the textbox returned in the log - but not how you are reading the initial command

 

so we can see if its something simple etc

 

 

If you compare what you are doing with how the Post Processing aspect of Emby dvr works

 

both of these are valid and work

Time taken would be good as emby reports that

 

Also if a scan is aborted/cancelled/failed - would be good additions - so you could abort your script as something went wrong or user did something good/bad :)

Ok - one other thing i noticed - not a big thing

 

But your variables are case sensitive

 

so %item.name% works but %Item.name% does not

Thankyou for this info mate - I can't reproduce this one and the plugin GUID that appears to of caused the issue is 3c96f5bc-4182-4b86-b05d-f730f2611e45, which isn't the scripterx, could you please try clearing your browser cache and trying it again? Just for curiosity - because I'm not sure which plugin refers to GUID 3c96f5bc-4182-4b86-b05d-f730f2611e45

Yep - ignore this its another plugin on closer inspection that does not have an image

Just had a couple of ideas for consideration/discussion

 

1. After server update event - maybe delayed by say a couple of minutes to allow the server to be fully loaded etc - maybe the delay could be configurable as not everybodies server will be snappy

2. After restart/reboot - similar to the above

 

3. Have more than one configuration page - currently you can have various events trigger which could be covered by different scripts per event - or a generic script that then either deals with all the "random" events it gets or passes the events off to other scripts called form the generic one. But i am thinking (not thought this fully through) but it might be you want to have a config for say Powershell and one using bat files and one for bash or say python - so you have mutiple configs by interpreter. That you could turn on and off.

This might get to complicated - not 100% sure on this but might be worth kicking around once we have it working etc etc

 

4. One thing we need to address is multiple events happening in a short time period. What i mean is that some events from Emby appear to fire off in quick succession - i.e. item added - you can get an event for folder added (say movie in its own folder being added to Emby)  then the movie item is added and a few seconds later the movie item is added again (think this is after the metadata gets added along with images etc and nfo created) all for the same item. Yes the script being called could deal with this - but might be possible to suppress some of the calls - not sure - but worth exploring/discussion.

 

I'll let you get on with my other posts :)

Thank you PenkethBoy - these comments and suggestions have been paramount to the development and maturation of this plugin so far!

 

I've just released version 1.0.0.8 on GitHub which addresses a lot of your issues :)  Powershell now works!  and you no longer have to enter the entire path to your interpreter!

 

5e8f42e18cdde_Logo_1008.png

 

Changes for 1.0.0.8:
 
- Addressed issues with having to supply entire path to interpreter.  
- Implemented better way to detect OS platform (IsWindows() IsLinux() IsOSX())
- Powershell.exe, cmd.exe, /bin/bash or a custom executable is now supported
 
- Examples now:
using powershell.exe as interpreter:
-File "D:\embyscripts\ScripterX-test.ps1" -Name %item.name% -ID %item.id% -Type %item.type% -LibName %item.library.name%
 
using cmd.exe as interpreter:
/s /c D:\embyscripts\test.bat AuthFail %username% %user.id% %device.id% %device.name%
 
using /bin/bash
/home/medius/scripts/test.sh AuthOK %username%
 
Some images:

Powershell example:

Some example notes, this applies to all events:

Thanks

 

Quick question - will try out a bit later

 

i see you are using -file rather than -command - curious why?

No problems at all!  That's a good question, I just tested it with:

 

-command "& D:\embyscripts\ScripterX-test.ps1 -Name %item.name% -ID %item.id% -Type %item.type% -LibName %item.library.name%"

 

and it works perfectly;

 

Test result = 1917 662 Movie Movies

 

so either way will work fine :)

I have some interesting new features to discuss when I get home. I’ve found some more hooks to link up to, including a Refreshed function, start/finish. Discovered them while plugging around for the library scan durations and stuff. Can’t wait to dig into it and wire up to some useful functionality :).

Will catch up with the changes in a bit

 

just on Github and the community scripts option that can also be picked from the gui will be cool when it comes in a future version

Hi - good and bad news with version .8 dll

 

Good

1. Test bat script works -  :) Tried media add and playback start - both work

2. If the script does not like something - then the error is returned - nice touch

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TerminatorExpectedAtEndOfString
 

Bad

with Media Added  (playback not showing this problem)

i had seen these the other day but ignored them as just concentrated on getting the script to work - so this is not .8 specific

 

If i add a folder with a video inside to a library (mixed content type - just to test) - emby sees the folder and video and i get the two notifications via the plugin one for folder and one for video.

 

The issues

1. The dll appears to interrupt the rest of the Emby discovery process as once the event is picked up by the dll - emby stops (waiting for something to be returned?) - i.e. the video is only partly scrapped - missing images and the item detail screen is either missing or only has very basic info (if i uninstall the dll and reboot emby and do the same test - everything is normal) it varies depending i think on when the hang up occurs. 

The folder i copied into the library has images, an extrafanart sub directory, nfo etc besides the video - and as a mixed library it has metadata plugin disabled - so it should have no problem reading the nfo and images etc.

 

2. After this hangup occurs - then a library scan will not work

on my test machine (4.5.0.5 version) a normal scan is 2 to 4 seconds as it has very little content

The issue is that while i have been writing this message the lib scan has been stuck part way through for several minutes and looks like it will never complete

The emby log shows none of the usual messages that come with a library scan and there are no errors

 

The only thing i see is this a lot in the logs after the hang up

2020-04-10 10:59:29.292 Debug App: ScheduledTasksWebSocketListener stop transmitting over websocket to ::1
2020-04-10 10:59:29.294 Debug App: SessionInfosWebSocketListener Begin transmitting over websocket to ::1

2020-04-10 10:59:29.297 Debug App: ActivityLogWebSocketListener Begin transmitting over websocket to ::1

They may be a red herring - as if the server has issues then this might just be a result of the interaction between the server and the plugin for a media added event

 

The emby server remains alive in that you can interact with the UI etc

 

If i reboot the Emby server - the library scan completes fine in a couple of seconds

 

Then add another movie folder - same format as before - script sees the add folder and add video  events - and the server discover hangs again

 

The log "stops" at this point (and is not added to unless i use the UI)

The time is now 11:32 and the log still has a last log entry of 11:27...

 

Could the plugin be interrupting the Emby logging perhaps?

 

Just tried the library scan task again it is hung up this time at 0%

 

So the issues are repeatable - when the plugin is loaded and a itemadded event fires.

 

Remove the plugin and reboot emby - no issues.

 

Hopefully that gives you enough info to find the issues etc. If not ask away :)

The dll appears to interrupt the rest of the Emby discovery process as once the event is picked up by the dll - emby stops (waiting for something to be returned?) - i.e. the video is only partly scrapped - missing images and the item detail screen is either missing or only has very basic info (if i uninstall the dll and reboot emby and do the same test - everything is normal) it varies depending i think on when the hang up occurs. 

The folder i copied into the library has images, an extrafanart sub directory, nfo etc besides the video - and as a mixed library it has metadata plugin disabled - so it should have no problem reading the nfo and images etc.

 

2. After this hangup occurs - then a library scan will not work

on my test machine (4.5.0.5 version) a normal scan is 2 to 4 seconds as it has very little content

The issue is that while i have been writing this message the lib scan has been stuck part way through for several minutes and looks like it will never complete

The emby log shows none of the usual messages that come with a library scan and there are no errors

 

The only thing i see is this a lot in the logs after the hang up

They may be a red herring - as if the server has issues then this might just be a result of the interaction between the server and the plugin for a media added event

 

The emby server remains alive in that you can interact with the UI etc

 

If i reboot the Emby server - the library scan completes fine in a couple of seconds

 

Then add another movie folder - same format as before - script sees the add folder and add video  events - and the server discover hangs again

 

The log "stops" at this point (and is not added to unless i use the UI)

The time is now 11:32 and the log still has a last log entry of 11:27...

 

Could the plugin be interrupting the Emby logging perhaps?

 

Just tried the library scan task again it is hung up this time at 0%

 

So the issues are repeatable - when the plugin is loaded and a itemadded event fires.

 

Remove the plugin and reboot emby - no issues.

 

Hopefully that gives you enough info to find the issues etc. If not ask away :)

 

Thank you so much mate for this testing this so thoroughly and reporting back on it so thoroughly, this is amazing.  I'm just at work at the moment, but I'll get onto this when I get home.  I'll do some testing around this exact scenario, I'm fairly certain it will be an easy issue to rectify. I'll let you know ASAP! :)

One thing to note i have not tried any other events so far other than itemadded and itemstart - so there might be issues with the others depending how much of you code is generic for an event

Don't let it go to your head! Get back to the testing.

 

Stay home. Protect the NHS. And save my life.
