Dashboard - Network Bandwidth Plugin

[blive 0]

Is this still an option if someone created a network plugin; so that it could be added to the dashboard? I am working on such an item and currently working on the look. Once done, I plan to create the plugin. Is there something specific to which the Emby team would expect adherence when making such a plugin? I understand the guide is already given, but maybe there is something in addition that you would expect from a plugin that you would allow to be a part of the dashboard, if at all. Or, maybe I completely understood a previous post regarding this.

HI, there is currently no way to get it on the server dashboard screen, but you can have a page in your plugin that displays this information.

Where are you going to be sourcing the information from?

I have been going through the Emby API on GitHub and https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/How-to-build-a-Server-Plugin; rather dated. I am staying with all the reference material provided by you guys, for starters. As for the page in the plugin, I agree. Of course, this is rather aged. But there are some videos and other information that is newer. I am not new to programming, so I am more than adequately able to handle this task. Just have to make sure I have adequate time.

Do you have newer resources outside of GitHub?

Yes - we have a brand new site for developers: https://dev.emby.media/index.html

He means the single page which is named "dashboard".

But a plugin can add an arbitrary number of (side-)menu entries each of which can lead to a single or multiple tabbed pages.
