Add extra function to Delete

[Zodler 18]

When you are browsing your library inside a browser, you have a Delete button where you hit it, it simply deletes the file. It would be a lot more useful if we could add a script or batch file to it.

 

Here is an example. When I delete a file, I want a dummy zero size file created with the extension .seen.

S01E01.mkv gets deleted and S01E01.seen is created. For the moment I do this by Directory Opus.

 

If we could do this inside Emby Server, it would be great.

Not possible? To add a custom action to Delete?

Hi, thanks for the feature request. Like all feature requests, we are monitoring this for community support and feedback.

 

My general feeling is that we probably will not do anything specific to this but we could have a generic eventing system that you could hook into, kind of like webhooks. That would allow you to hook into the delete and perform some custom action whenever a delete happens.
