New Plugin - Custom Scripting | Emby ScripterX

[PenkethBoy 2063]

item.library.x appears to be resolved for some events itemadded,itemremoved etc

 

but depending on the type of item itemupdated for a movie extra still shows %item.library.name% but is fine for a episode

[PenkethBoy 2063]

That's a very interesting one mate ill have a look into it, but definitely if it shows in the emby log it should definitely be being passed to the command line

 

Anthony

 

trying out the new global variables and getting a slightly odd result

 

with Session start or end the scripterx.version is not returning the value

 

In my log i see

 

[05/05/2020 18:58:17.859] - EventType: SessionStart User: TimPercy Device: Chrome ScripterX: %scripterx.version%

 

however in the emby log

 

2020-05-05 18:58:18.060 Info Emby ScripterX: onSessionStarted: -EventType "SessionStart" -UserName "TimPercy" -DevName "Chrome" -ScripterVersion "2.2.8.0"

 

the variable does work on things like libscancomplete, scheduled task start/end etc

 

Any insight on why that would be?

 

(the times recorded are interesting as it appears the emby log happens after my script gets the info - i assume this is because you pass the info off to emby to post to the log and it has a queue that need to be worked through)

 

This is now fixed - not sure which version - but reporting correctly in 2.3.1

[PenkethBoy 2063]

for me it happens with a single script writing to its own log - each instance of the script writes to the same log file - so if i have two events within a very short interval ~20ms - then that appears to be too short a window for script instance one to finish writing before instance two trys to do the same

 

i was comparing the emby log entries for ScripterX with my log and noticed that a couple got missed

 

this was specifically with a load of scheduled tasks all firing at once after starting my test server that had been off for a while so emby does a catch up on these and fires them off almost at the same time

 

I wonder if Anthony could add a delay and queue up the events to overcome this? @@Anthony.Musgrove

As the time an event fires - is not time critical for me at least - so a short (ms) added delay would not impact what the scripts are going to do.

 

So say create a queue of events that fire off with a delay of say 50/100 ms between them or something similar - just to give the scripts a chance to do their stuff etc.....

You can ignore this now as adding a mutex to the PS script has sorted this issue for me

Just tested ScripterX on my QNAP - and it works fine

 

Had a couple of hiccups but nothing that was a show stopper

 

1. I used your media.sh as an example

1.1 You have to use the full path to the media.sh file - i initially thought i could use the /sharename/scripts/media.sh - but that failed - however using the full path worked fine in the ScripterX config page and for the logfile

1.2 I just copied your example to a file i created on my PC then uploaded that to my QNAP - this gave an error on line 3 in the emby log from ScripterX "line 3: : command not found" - which was a blank line

1.3 As the file was saved for a PC - changing this to a unix file type - solved the blank line issue - although even with the error ScripterX was posting to the log file.

 

I did not have any permission issues - my PC user - that owns the media.sh file is an administrator on my QNAP - the log file gets created for user admin - as there is no embyuser on a QNAP

Hi @@PenkethBoy

If youve got that far, would it be possible to show an example as to how its best for separate scripts to instance a mutex, waiting until mutex is available before continuing, and when required properly timeout and exit  if the mutex just isnt available ie not execute the script block (is try, catch, finally the answer? what does that look like?). Also when is $mtx.dispose() necessary..im not using it and things seem to be ok...

 

This is what i have so far.

I cant be certain from the interweb, and was wondering  if its ok for separate scripts to create "new-object" or should they first check if mutex exists and then reference rather than "new-object" straight away...

#Wait incase ProcessAdded is writing to csv
$createdNew = $null
$mtx = New-Object System.Threading.Mutex($false, "LogMutex",[ref]$createdNew)

#Dangerous if mutex is held open in another script due to crash/poor coding as this script will permanently hang and emby will stop ingesting content.
$mtx.WaitOne()
<perform code here>
$mtx.ReleaseMutex()

I have learnt that it is very dangerous to instance $mtx.waitone() in a loop because it is necessary to $mtx.ReleaseMutex() as many times as as you waitone.

oh and if it helps, i found a script which tests for whether a mutex is available or if one of yourscripts is not releasing it. (how i found the issue above)

 

Function Test-IsMutexAvailable.zip

 

thank you

[PenkethBoy 2063]

i only use the mutex in my log function

Function Log ($logString)
{
  # create a mutex for when multiple writes to log might clash in short timescale
  $Mtx = New-Object System.Threading.Mutex($false, "ScripterX")
  $Mtx.WaitOne() | Out-Null
  Write-Output $logString | Out-File -FilePath $Log -Encoding utf8 -Append | Out-Null
  $Mtx.ReleaseMutex() | Out-Null
}

So each event from ScripterX - runs up an instance of the script that contains the above - each then write to the log file but wait for others to release the mutex - the mutex "name" ScripterX above is the thing that links them together

 

All explained here - not that complex - https://learn-powershell.net/2014/09/30/using-mutexes-to-write-data-to-the-same-logfile-across-processes-with-powershell/

 

it shows how to do a loop - and read the comments at the bottom as one poster shows how to deal with a failed mutex exception - which i have not bothered with

%episode.number% does not seem to work on added, ok for removed and updated..

is scripterx firing before these values have been determined in the database.

i did see that error thanks and yes on 2.3.1, it was either because i forgot to enclose a token resolved to null, in quotes on the parameters line, or "%token%" resolves to null if the token is null. Anyways i believe  that made powershell think i was supplying a switch when the parameter is strongly typed as string.

heres a log of 

three episodes being removed from library (configured for show missing episodes)

[actual remove events]

[virtual add events coupled with virtual update events]

three episodes put back into library

[actual add events]

[virtual remove events]

[actual update events]

 

ie an end to end picture..

 

The Library "TVSHOWS" is made up of multiple folders TV01,TV02,etc

 

%item.library.name% never works and %episodenumber.number% never works on non virtual mediaitemadded as mentioned

 

maybe it becuase i have multiple media folders?

%item.library.name% works fine now for me but i never use multi folders in my libraries as use drive pooling saves a lot of hassle

 

Do you have 17 tv folders then?

 

I guess Anthony does not look for multiple folders when looking for the library name.

 

Question - why record the virtual episodes to you csv when you set it to processed Yes - so essentially might as well not be written? or its it just for testing?

i dont think i see any difference (for episodes) in event "onmediaitemupdate - update reason" between a new file and a swapped out file, both show  "None, MetadataImport, ImageUpdate, MetadataDownload"

 

so am starting to think the best way to identify "real media upgrade" events is look out for an associated 'onmediaitemremoved event' (associated by same series, season, episode number)...so really episode token to work :-)

Edited May 12, 2020 by ginjaninja

[PenkethBoy 2063]

from emby's perspective its a new item as original item has been removed

 

item id for Upgrade is different to the original 319758 vs 319828 - emby does not keep track via DB ID - only providerids which you could also check is the same as you have that now as a scripter variable (item.meta.*) - not sure if its reported on a delete though

 

So if you want to see if its an "upgrade" then you need to track the remove events and hope they happen in a short time scale

[Anthony Musgrove 195]

Amazing amazing testing and work guys, this is helping me greatly   I am sorry for the absence of late, I have been working on conditions - totally drag and droppable, still in progress.   This is going to allow you to separate for example, onMediaItemAdded, you'll be able to have separate actions with different conditions to process different types of media, by (for example) : 

 

 

This is all on the path for the way ItemAdded, ItemUpdated, ItemRemoved operates .. there's some business rules we need to address, for example ItemAdded is called when a new file is processed in a media library, and doesn't yet have the proper metadata, so its very basic, then ItemUpdated is called when metadata is retrieved for the new item, which provides proper information (Episode number, name, season, series, etc), which is unavailable on ItemAdded because at that stage, the metadata hasn't been received, so this is why we're getting some issues too.  ItemAdded in the current sense isn't exactly an Item completely added properly to the library, with metadata etc.  So we need to look at introducing some new VIRTUAL/ABSTRACT events, for say,   onNewMediaItem - which would be called AFTER an ItemAdded, and ItemUpdated (with Metadata) is completed.  For cases where the item doesn't match for metadata (thus possibly not having an ItemUpdated), we should have a configurable timeout period the system should wait until it calls the onNewMediaItem, with a token %metadata.processed% for example, so when the event is called, you can check to see if the metadata was successful or if it timed out waiting for an ItemUpdated... then the current ItemAdded, ItemUpdated needs to be 'hidden' from ScripterX (unless we leave them there but explain that they're basically raw events that aren't exactly meaningful without post processing.

 

Does this all sound alright? thank you guys!

[Anthony Musgrove 195]

Coming together so awesomely, completely drag and drop.   This is going to work fantastically when its ready for release.  

[PenkethBoy 2063]

...unless we leave them there but explain that they're basically raw events that aren't exactly meaningful without post processing

 

For me - keep the existing events and add replacements as necessary so for now we can compare and contrast - probably we can remove them later once confident of the new process

[Anthony Musgrove 195]

It's coming together nicely guys!  It's functioning, it's alive, its alive!  However, because a significant portion of the core has been rewritten, when its ready for release I'll put it on Github as a beta until we know that everything is running 100% smoothly   I'll let you guys know as soon as a beta is up! <3 thank you so much for all your suggestions.. I'm going to start looking at creating the more 'abstract' events soon as mentioned above!

Hey guys,  new version is up now in the catalog; addressing many github issues, case-insensitive variables, etc.  

 

Transcoding is in progress, because it will rely on onPlaybackChange (which isn't implemented yet)

 

I hope everyone is going great tonight!

Hello.. do we know when this might be available? if not can you possibly suggest how I can maybe get this functionality?

 

Thanks

Hey guys, please note that I've just put v2.3.2 BETA up on Github for testing.  Conditions are now fully functional - I just want to make sure its all working fine before releasing into the catalog

 

https://github.com/AnthonyMusgrove/Emby-ScripterX/tree/master/Beta

 

Conditions are drag/drop, and some of the operators are click-to-edit.  It's been a big task getting it to this level and throughout the entire process I've had in mind the ease-of-use factor for the user.  I don't like convoluted interfaces, I like them to be very self explanatory and smooth.  If there is anything that is confusing please let me know.   

 

When you create or edit an action now, you'll see a conditions 'scratch-pad' appear, with a list of operators above the scratch pad.   You can drag tokens from the action interface into the scratchpad area - and you can also drag operators into the scratchpad area.   The scratchpad area is sortable too, so if you want to re-order your conditions elements you can.   To delete an element from the scratch pad, simply drag it outside the scratch pad (I will eventually put a recycle bin icon somewhere to make this more self explanatory).

 

Thank you so much guys.

 

PS. @@spaceman07 I'm looking into the transcoding stuff now.  @@PenkethBoy might have some input too regarding how to get the transcoding information from the api after playbackstart event occurs, but I'm working on it.   So basically you would like to see if an playback item is transcoding, I can create the new event onPlaybackChanged and we should be able to set a condition for 'IsTranscoding' so it will only execute the action if its transcoding, let me look into this now!

 

So so excited.  <3

That sounds awesome.. I been looking into the API as well for the functionality.. we can look into the sessionservices and be looking for the 4k video part if it's transcoding.. as I believe it's ok to have direct play on the video with transcoding for the audio side.

 

I posted some information on the API forum and I believe @@PenkethBoy can help with this.

 

Let me know when in position to be able to test.. I be more than happy to help with the testing

 

Thanks

I've also added a new event, called onMediaItemAddedComplete - and the log for this output is :-

 

(It basically waits 20 seconds after the item is added to gather its metadata, then calls the Complete event)

Hi Anthony

 

Absolutely awesome work.

 

I have checked out the video

 

One thing that surprised me is why the "Parameters" section is not drag and drop as well instead of having to type in the parameter names?

A 'like' is always appreciated!
