Soki 9 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Good morning fellow Emby supporters some more features I'd love to have: 1. A request function, where f.e. my kids can enter something like "want this or that anime movie", maybe with some kind of form including dropdowns for series,movies,etc and an edit field. 2. a news section where an admin can enter infos of any kind. idealy with formatable text ( bold, colored, etc ). Would be nice for throwing news to the family like expected downtimes for updates or whatever regards Soki 2
Untoten 306 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Check out ombi for emby Yeah my only gripe which is keeping me from using this is the fact that, due to Emby not supporting header auth, the users have to log in multiple times to each service. I am waiting for SSO to use this. EDIT: My mistake, I was thinking of Organizr. Does Ombi allow custom news stories? Edited July 12, 2017 by Untoten
Spaceboy 2573 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah my only gripe which is keeping me from using this is the fact that, due to Emby not supporting header auth, the users have to log in multiple times to each service. I am waiting for SSO to use this. EDIT: My mistake, I was thinking of Organizr. Does Ombi allow custom news stories? i've only just reinstalled it but the main features seem to be: a request function linking up with sonarr, radarr, couch and headphones problem reporting a newsletter periodically to inform of new media
Untoten 306 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 That does not satisfy the second request, as newsletter requires you to manually populate emails, since emby (w/o connect) does not populate or allow an admin to populate the email field: 2. a news section where an admin can enter infos of any kind. idealy with formatable text ( bold, colored, etc ).

Yes, on Ombi, which they only visit when making requests. i would like something natively in Emby, because giving notice in the request system about another service being down is very disconnected.
Soki 9 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Just had a look at Ombi. A nice project, agreed. But its way to big for what i was thinking about and having another login, another system, another page etc... naaah... thats not it. A simple landing page integrated into emby, where you have one news section which can can freely edited by admin (f.e. downtimes, news, infos, uploads, whatever ) and a link to another emby integrated page where a user just has a dropdown (movie, series, whatever), a editable field for the media name and a button "enter"... which then enters into a requested list... that would be handy (and pretty important to, at least in my understanding). As far as Ombi is not directly integrated into Emby, its not interesting to me.

Untoten 306 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 and i would like the moon on a stick. sometimes we have to make do with what is available Or we could just make a feature request...

If so, that's unpreffered but fine, it would just help to know the viability of this request.
Soki 9 Posted July 12, 2017 Author Posted July 12, 2017 Maybe instead of going back and forth if its worh implementing and why it was seperated or whatever... maybe then just focusing on the topic of this thread and the possibly implemention of a small own page with basic features like editable news and requests? ... maybe

CBers 7450 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 An alpha/beta of OMBI V3 is due soon, so it may have better integration with Emby.

I am just trying to get you the functionality you want in the most timely way. if you prefer to sit and wait for this to reach the top of the priority list then feel free. ask @@Untoten how thats going with his AD/ LDAP /single sign-on request 2
