[Plugin] EmbyUserNotes

[SoliFlix 6]

Hey everyone,

Inspired by a feature request (Have an admin notes section under each user account), I built EmbyUserNotes (EUN) - a lightweight, admin-only plugin for internal notes on users and custom user groups, with CSV export/import for backup. Here are some screenshots:

How to test:
1. Download EmbyUserNotes.dll below.
2. Copy it into your Emby Server "plugins" folder.
3. Restart Emby Server, then open Dashboard -> "User Notes".

Security & privacy:
- Admin-only, enforced server-side on every route
- Never writes to Emby's own database - only reads existing user data (incl. avatar) the same way the built-in Dashboard does.
- Notes are plain text only, no rich text/HTML formatting - keeps things simple and safe.
- "EDIT PROFILE" links straight to Emby's own official user-edit page for the selected user.

Export / Import:
The export generates a single .zip file containing 3 CSV files (groups, group members, and user notes).
While built-in validation checks are included, manually editing and importing modified CSV files is at your own risk.

This is a fully working beta version, but since it's just a side project, further development will depend on community interest. If you'd like to help test this release, your feedback is welcome!

Could you make it so server Date/Time Locale is respected, i.e. not US date formats?

 

Also, abt. 50-60% of my users have Date Created as 1/1/1?

I will look into it about the server Date/Time Locale. Because on my side it shows the european time.

I have a few of those with created 1.1.1 too... these dates come directly from Emby and are not a plugin error.

Which browser are you using and what language is it set to?

When I set mine to English (United States), the date is displayed the same way as in your pictures. It doesn't matter what's set in Emby.

My plugin currently uses the date format of the language you have in your browser. I need to test whether it can adopt the date/time format from Emby.

Thorium, set to plain English. Once added English (United Kingdom) and selected that as primary, dates are in desired format now. That's good enough, thanks. Though I reckon plugin should still follow server settings/locale.

[SoliFlix 6]

In Emby, the "Date time local" setting is stored in the browser's local storage rather than on the server. Whenever "Cookies and other site data" are cleared—or if you open Emby from a different browser for the first time—this setting defaults back to "Auto".

I'll try to update the plugin so that it reads the format directly from the Emby web app's local storage, with a fallback to the browser's settings if the local storage entry is empty (as it is when set to "Auto" or on a fresh session).

Update date/time local:

The plugin now automatically matches your Emby 'Date/time locale' setting (stored in your browser's local storage). Fallback to browser's default format if it's set to Auto.
