Plugin: CPU Usage Monitor - alpha release - testing

[mickle026 650]

I have coded this as a distraction, I have no means to test it on Linux or Mac

It works fine on my Windows 11 machine, needless to say no guarantees for other users machines

This is really just for fun at the moment as I don't have a lot of free time to spend on this.

Thanks to @jaspalgillfor providing me with a sample output from Linux.

Its considered and Alpha release (unfinished, untested in all environments), although you are welcome to test it & give me feedback
It should stop requesting updates when you navigate away or hide the page and resume when you come back (no guarantees!)

 

CPUMonitor.dll

Still not seeing any output, I wonder if the account emby is running under can't access or execute the commands to pull in the cpu info? I can't see anything in the emby log from the plugin.

I had the reverse issue with another plugin where emby installs it's own linux equivalent of dll's when you first install the server and my script within emby was using the libraries the emby developers had installed instead of the system executables.

I fixed it by changing how the paths worked in my script, not sure what's possible from within a plugin environment.

I can log the output and see if it's doing anything, ideally it would be good if I could see it realtime, I have a mini nuc pc in a drawer somewhere... Maybe when I have time I ought to install Linux on it.

Very nice

I'd be interested in what library you are using to get the info ?

For me personally, live GPU (for transcoding), Storage I/O and Network info is of more interest than CPU..

I can do all of those in windows!   - not sure about linux or mac... but probably

Just using powershell on command line and RedirectStandardOutput, then parsing the text into an array.  No libraries at all.

I would personally be very interested in this! (I'm on windows) Seeing CPU and GPU usage stats on the emby dashboard would be extremely useful.
