Restart Service from the command line

[kegham 0]

Hello!

I would like to know if I can restart the Emby plugin from the command line. I'm doing s script to restart the service once the connection with the server is reestablished, since the plugin can't reconnect to the server unless I restart the app.

Thanks!

Hi, what exactly do you want to restart? Kodi, or Emby Server?

I would like to restart the Emby plugin itself. At the moment I'm restarting manually in the Kodi app >> Addons > Restart Emby for Kodi.

@jachin99 do you know if this is possible?

I use eventghost to send python commands to emby for Kodi.  Here is a list of actions that are compatible with e4k but it's up to you to figure out how to execute them from the command line. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/plugin.video.emby/wiki/Actions

I think eventghost doesn't work on linux. If I make a python script to call one of those actions, importing the xbmc module, will it work?

I think this "xbmc.executebuiltin('RunPlugin(action)')" would be the command that I need...

Sounds like it's worth a shot.

I'll have to look at my script but that looks about right

I did it via the command line with this package "xbmc-eventclients-xbmc-send". I just created a simple python script to execute the restart action:
 

#!/usr/bin/env python

import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.video.emby?mode=restartservice)')

and called the command:

xbmc-send --action='RunScript("/home/osmc/.kodi/addons/temp/restart-emby.py")'

Doing without the xbmc-send the module xbmc would't import, since kodi have a build-in python version.

Now it works, just what I need it. Thanks!
