Emby webhook

[jasonborn 21]

Hi Folks,

 

I try to configure the Webhooks functionality in emby Server (server events). In Discord I made a channel and copied the web-hook-link in Emby.

When I send a testmessage from Emby, I get the following message: ...There was an error sending the webhook test message. Please check that the url you entered is correct and try again...

 

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?

 

Kind regards,

Hi, what url did you configure? Is it valid?

[jasonborn 21]

Hi Luke,

 

I copied the webhook URL from my Discord text-channel and paste it in Emby webhook.

 

Kind regards

[Luke 42077]

Is that url supposed to be able to receive post requests? It must be sending back an error, which you can find in the emby server log. or you can attach the log here and i'll find it.

Hi Luke,

 

See attached the logfile. I use Discord for Radarr, Bazarr, private trackers Rss etc.

 

Kind regards

[Luke 42077]

Hi there, did you forget to attach the log file?

[jasonborn 21]

Damn

EmbyLog.txt

Looks like your discord url sent back a response saying bad request.

[jasonborn 21]

Hmmm, don't have much things to configure. I will dive into it.

 

Kind regards

[Luke 42077]

I would try to find out why it's sending back that response.

[jasonborn 21]

What I found out is that it is not allowed to send an empty message to a Discord channel:

 

Logging from fiddler:

 

{message: "Cannot send an empty message", code: 50006}

message: "Cannot send an empty message"

code: 50006

 

To be continued..

 

Kind regards

The request body is never empty.

[jasonborn 21]

Well, I see a difference in the URL when sending a message to Discord.

 

If I send a testmessage (working) from Radarr to a discord channel, the URL ends with /slack: https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/..../slack. An enter gives the text OK in the browserscreen. When I send a testmessage (not working) from emby Server to a Discord channel, the URL don't ends with /slack. An enter gives 2 lines of text: type, id, name, avatar etc.

 

Kind regards.

Then customize the url so that it ends with /slack. When you configure the webhook you get to pick what the url is going to be.

Did you figure out what was necessary for this to work?  I played around with it and did not have any success.

Thanks!

Hi Caleb,

 

No sorry, and the slack plugin is not working either. On Discord I saw this post:https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/82370-new-plugin-discord-notifications/

 

I'm on Mauritius so not able to check out further.

 

Kind regards

Sorry seems the test works but it's not letting me know whos playing what. I used the same webhook URL for each person is that ok.

Well on the receiving end, you can parse the json and examine the request body to see what user is playing.

Hello @Luke,

I also tried the Webhook function with Discord but have the same errors as others.

My guess is that the POST request needs to have this header :

Content-Type: application/json

Is it possible to update the webhook and add the header ?

Thank you
