Open movie in EMBY via "URL"

[Marc0 29]

Hi There,

Is there a way to open the "start page" of a movie in EMBY by an URI? And then have in open in a mobile app on your phone... like in iOS?

Something like:

emby://emby.mynode.com/web/index.html#!/item?id=525266&serverId=3832872h234yg247234

You could check out the swaggar API. Specifically 'Sessions', and General commands. 

Sending browse commands, is in there.

Or are you asking about url schemes?

Yes That's what I need.... I like to start EMBY IOS from another app with URL schemes

[Luke 42077]

if you're on Android then yes, you can deep link to a specific item using the emby:// scheme. 

You currently have to set the Intent action to "android.intent.action.VIEW", then you can use a link like "emby://items/{SERVER_ID}/{ITEM_ID}"

iOS has a slightly different url format, where the item ID and server ID are query parameters. So you can use 

"emby://items?serverId={SERVER_ID}&itemId={ITEM_ID}" on iOS.

Thanks Luke. This helps!

Hello,

Do you know what the URL would be for Apple TVOS?

Tried both:
emby://items/{SERVER_ID}/{ITEM_ID}
and
emby://items?serverId={SERVER_ID}&itemId={ITEM_ID}
 

No luck. It opens the app but does not navigate to the content.

Thanks

HI, I would follow the same convention as iOS, since the two apps share a lot of resources. We just haven't added support for this yet in Apple TV, but we can.

Is there any way to directly open a particular user? Are these app intents documented anywhere? 
 

in context of ios

Hi, there isn't but that would be a good one to add. And yes we should look at documenting the supported intents.
