Emby API: Movies/Series updates not adding new items


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello

 

I have a setup where I use the emby endpoints /Library/[series,Movies]/Updated to notify emby about new media updates. After POSTING to these endpoints, the appropriate new media would appear in my emby library, This is not happening any longer. It's difficult for me to say since when, because unless I am paying attention, the periodic library scan would take care of it before I notice.

 

Looking at the debug logs, I see of example:

2018-02-04 18:48:42.025 Info HttpServer: HTTP POST http://10.8.1.12:8096/mediabrowser/Library/Series/Updated?tvdbid=332331. UserAgent: Sonarr/2.0.0.5085 (osmc 2017.12-1)
2018-02-04 18:48:42.071 Info HttpServer: HTTP Response 204 to 10.8.1.12. Time: 47ms. http://10.8.1.12:8096/mediabrowser/Library/Series/Updated?tvdbid=332331

with no additional logging related to that event as if it were nothing to do. In this specific case, the endpoint was called after a new episode of a new series was added to the library path. I would expect that that new tvshow with that episode would appear in my library.

 

Looking at Library/LibraryService.cs, it looks as if those endpoints purpose were to update existing items, but not to add new ones. So now I start to doubt the behavior that I described on the first paragraph, maybe that was never the case.

 

So my question would be what is the proper endpoint to use to notify emby about new media? As in, a new movie or the first episode of a new tvshow added to the library path? Should I use the one that triggers a full library scan?

 

Thanks.

Trying to figure out what should be the payload format for that.

 

Sorry, didn't read the complete thing.

We have submitted pull requests to both Sonarr and Radarr to help them update to the new library update API in Emby 4.0.

 

Have fun !
