Slack is Posting Notifications for Old Media as New Content

[Luke 42078]

Try updating the plugin to 1.2.3

1.2.3 still broken with rocket.chat, will investigate it further tomorrow
rocket logs show the payload arriving with no message content

Finished the update, and the image checkbox is now showing. Despite selecting it, I am still not getting an image though. Here is what a post to Slack looks like for me... There is some tiny little icon, that is showing just above the text, that was not there before I selected the show image checkbox in the notification settings.

I've attached a recent log file for you to review as well.

Thanks again for all the hard work and help @Luke

@LukeThis is the script that has worked with Rocket.Chat for years now:
https://github.com/ackbarr/Emby.Plugins/wiki/Supporting-Rocket.Chat

Seems the formatting changed with the 1.2.2 update, and again in 1.2.3. Instead of using Slack I am just doing a normal webhook now with this script set in Rocket (Claude helped), notifications work in Rocket.Chat again.

Just figured I'd post it here in case anyone else comes looking.
 

/* exported Script */
/* globals console, _, s */
/** Global Helpers
 * console - A normal console instance
 * _       - An underscore instance
 * s       - An underscore string instance
 */
class Script {
  /**
   * @params {object} request
   */
  process_incoming_request({ request }) {
    // Extract content
    const content = request.content;
    let messageText = '';
    
    if (content.Event === 'system.webhooktest') {
      messageText = `Test Notification: ${content.Title}`;
      if (content.Description) {
        messageText += `\n${content.Description}`;
      }
    } else {
      messageText = `${content.Title || 'New Event'}`;
      
      if (content.Description) {
        messageText += `\n${content.Description}`;
      }
      
      if (content.User && content.User.Name) {
        messageText += `\nUser: ${content.User.Name}`;
      }
    }

    return {
      content: {
        text: messageText
      }
    };
  }
}

@Dazikchanged how?

But by the way, using webhooks I think is a better choice for you anyway.

@LukeDid anything in the log stand out? I'm still not having any luck getting images to show. Thanks

There is a defect in the 4.8.11 server release related to the notification image. It will be resolved in 4.8.12 and is already resolved in the beta channel. Thanks.
