ChrisHammond56 4 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Not sure if this the correct post location, but I am having issues in installing the examplepackage on a Synology DS918+ running Emby Server 4 on the host (not Docker). I click to install package via ZIP and the interface does nothing. I have attached the Emby Log (if usefull). I noticed that the testing has not been done on Synology, so this may be new? embyserver.7z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) If this is about installing Emby Server you would want to post this in the Synology section of the website as that will assure that other Synology users and devs see it. If this is about the Custom Scripting Plugin then this is the correct place. Can you be more specific what your problem is if custom scripting plugin is the issue, otherwise make a post and give more information as to your problem in the Synology section.

ChrisHammond56 4 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Thanks for the reply. I suppose I should clarify. I have a Synology DS918+ running Emby native (not in a Docker). I have that all working. I installed the Scripter-X via the Plugins option within Emby management GUI. I then attempted to install the ScripterXExamplePackage.zip (from the git repository) via the 'install from zip' option within the Scripter-X Packages page of the plugin settings. I click 'browse' and choose the example file. The filename then appears in the 'select filename to ....' field and then when I click 'Install Now' , the plugin reverts to the 'Browse' in the 'select file....' field. It has not added any scripts as all the events are displaying '0' and the 'Installed Packages' count is also '0' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 permission issue perhaps on the zip file? if not could be a bug so you will have to wait for Anthony to return to confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltek 3 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Can this send POST commands and replace the built-in Webhooks (which is nearly useless)? Need more robust triggers for Emby like Tautulli has for Plex. Looking for solution to automating lighting and such for Home Theater / Home Automation. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 indirectly - yes once an event is triggered - then your script can do a POST/GET etc via the emby api Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby's API exposes POST too. Having separate scripts that need to read/parse and then send POST is a tedious. Emby's lack of easy integration for home theater and home automation may push me to Plex.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 dont think its anymore tedious to do as once done it will just work with a script if you got to plex enjoy them mining your data 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 If you are Ok using Powershell See my post at top of page 4 of this thread and see the zip file for a very basic example to get powershell to POST/GET say from emby then add a line or two in the IF/Else statement that uses Invoke-WebRequest $MediaUrl = "https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/" + $Media.ProviderIds.TMDB +"/videos?api_key=3050c3154e008161700ca5406f69d0b8&language=en-US" $TMDBResult = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $MediaUrl -Method Get $TMDBResult = $TMDBResult.Content | ConvertFrom-Json if you set $Media.ProviderIds.TMDB to 1271 then it will return data on the "300" movie from TMDB Info will be in the $TMDBResult variable so you could access $TMDBResult.Results to get a list of Trailers/Extras for the movie once its converted from JSON To send a POST to any API change the -Method to POST and you will need to return suitably encoded content if the url does not have all the info $Result = Invoke-Webrequest -uri $MediaUrl -Method POST -Body ($EmbyData | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType "application/json; charset=utf-8" # Where $EmbyData is a Powershell object that gets converted to valid JSON as the body of the webrequest POST that should get you started - the rest you should be able to find via google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anthony adds the ability to send POST I'll use his plugin. If not, I may just switch to Plex. I'm installing Tautulli right now to look it over.

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ok fine but you are going to have to code at some point as thats what Anthony's plugin is about - i.e. it exposes ways to control Emby (and other things) and is not a one stop shop you want it to be if it was it would not be as powerful as it is But its not for the novice coder that wants it done for them either Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjaninja 533 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 just getting back into scripter-X after a couple of months off feature request: as well as being able to turn entire events on and off, i would find it useful to be able to temporarily disable an individual action/row within an event, eg i have 2 onplayblackstart events configured and i would like to turn one off temporarily whilst testing/developing. maybe someone is aware of a quick workaround for this?

Tocinillo 0 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi! I'm trying to use scripterX with Pi4 (and aarch64 kernel) but doesn't work. I tried with simply bash script in the "on playback start" and nothing...doesn't work. The same with my Synology works like a charm. Any ideas?

Yes, 64 bit version: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.5.2.0/emby-server-synology_4.5.2.0_x86_64.spk Pi4 I'm using armhf version. Same 4.6.0.2 in both (syno and Pi4).

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So pi4 and syno are on different versions (by cpu architecture) of emby stable server so there is an issue with .netcore on ri4 or you do have differences in your setup etc @Luke would have to comment on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
