Tautulli for Emby

[Painkiller8818 232]

Hi,

 

I would love to have tautulli or equivalent for emby. Especially for people coming from plex, we would love to see something like tautulli.

I know there are a few Statistic plugins but i think we all know there is nothing like tautulli out there.

 

I love the way i see people currently watching movies on my server and the details of what is transcoding etc.

i know emby also shows ppl watching movies but it isn't the same.

I don't get a notification or even see a icon if someone starts to play while i have the emby page open.

There is no icon that shows me someone is watching a movie.


Tautulli is also open source so if someone has the skills in python to make it work for emby, this would be amazing.

For me this is actually really the only reason I hesitate to switch completely.

maybe someone can make this happen

Hi, yes I agree it would be great.

There is a tool named embystat

https://github.com/mregni/EmbyStat

But need time to it have as many things as tautulli have. But if you are developer feel free to help mregni to improve her app

Ok thanks, i installed it but the for me most important part is missing. I want to see when ppl are actually streaming a movie. This is not implemented. I need a overview of who is actually watching a movie, is he transcoding or direct play etc. and a history who was wachting what movie and when etc..

 

Maybe this is comming soon, this is what makes tautulli so great for me.

The Playback Reporting plugin does a better job of providing some of that information, but again it's no PlexPy/Tautulli.

 

If I missed anything from Plex, it's this.

Playback reporting is a community created open source plugin, if you have any suggestions, ideas, drawings, mockups or examples on what you think would make a good report to add to the plugin or how it can be improved you can post in the plugins forum.

to be fair, since Tautulli is opensource, and it encompasses pieces of all of the different plugins being created currently (some which have been mentioned in this thread), why couldn't the current projects abandon theirs and just fork tautulli and work on it together to make it Emby compatible?  I am no developer, so it maybe more work than I realize, but I can't imagine it being more difficult than recreating it from the ground up?...

Would LOVE to see this  happen. Tautulli just seems to embody all the good things about these separate Emby plug-ins. If the current developers of these various Emby tools would come together to make this  happen, I'd have NO PROBLEM sending them some cash. Should we crowdfund a bounty and turn the money over once it's ported and working?

Good afternoon. Please add Tautulli to Emby. It is necessary that notifications come to Telegram. There is Emby.Plugin.TelegramNotification, but it's all very simple and there is little information. Below is an example of how it is designed in plex and how it is designed in Emby. https://github.com/bjoerns1983/Emby.Plugin.TelegramNotification

There's quite a few people who want something like Tautulli for Emby. Tautulli, as far as I know, isn't developed by the Plex team but a third-party. Has anyone suggested a fundraiser of sorts for someone who can code to develop this? Tautulli is open source and available on Github, so I would suspect a developer could fork it for Emby, and I'd be happy to throw in some money to get a project like this going.

Don't think so. Once Plex pisses off enough people, or announces that they are halting all development on the server side so they can concentrate on the client, you'll see a mass exodus of users to Emby. Once that happens, I'm sure the Tautulli author will start supporting Emby. I think he said he's totally fine if anyone wants to take up the task.

Plex laid off 20% of their staff last year (and some of those folks were key developers that supported the server software). They honestly think that if Plex admins tell the folks that are streaming from them that they are switching to Emby, that these people will keep the Plex client and deal with ads or pay money to watch shows on Max, Hulu, Apple TV, etc. I asked some of the people that stream from me that if I switched to another server software, would they keep the client installed and they all said no. If Plex kills off the server, I'm positive more than 50% of the people using their client will uninstall it and that will be the end of Plex Inc and the birth of Tautulli on Emby.

Absolutely this!  I have ~15 close friends and family who access my emby server.  They accessed it when it was a Plex server, but I know none of them are still using the Plex client for the content they provide.  Plex lost its way back in 2018 when it started making users connect to their services to access local content along with questionable privacy policies.  I'm glad I jumped ship back then and have no regrets, although I'd love something like Tautulli on Emby.

I think we're rapidly approaching that moment right now.  With the new Plex clients released, people seem more unhappy than usual on the Plex subreddit.  Emby is certainly being thrown around plenty as the best alternative.  As a lifetime supporter of both, I already made the switch myself, but for the friends and family, I still maintain my Plex install.

Several people have asked if a crowd-funded bounty turned over to a developer that successfully forks and ports Tautulli to Emby.  I think it's a real option.  If others are on board, I can look into starting something.

It's been a long time since I've used tautulli, pretty sure it was still called PlexPy at the time, but I'm wondering what features it offers over something like the Emby playback reporting plugin? I personally like that the playback reporting plugin is integrated into the Emby dashboard instead and a standalone web service. This was the main reason I didn't stick with jellystat.

This is exactly why I'm here - whatever Plex are doing right now....has moved me to Emby

I think a lot of us are here for this. EMBY improved the UX while PLEX pisses everybody off with their focus on third party instead of your own library. I've lifetime subscription for both, but meanwhile I uninstalled PLEX. 

I only miss the better music integration and sometimes tautulli features from Plex. In the rest, and this is are the almost everything, EMBY is superior. 

[Conroy 0]

Exactly this man. I never use the music stuff and the other things like pics etc, purely just my video media. So those didn't bother me, I do miss tuatulli but with so many people now looking at Emby, I'm hoping we get some kind of development of something similar for plugin usage, more popular it becomes more people will dev stuff I guess!
