A tool for tagging Emby content

[VicMoore 754]

hello rbjtech...  could you help me get started.  If I could just get going with a basic plugin, I think I could do everything else.  Is it possible to use javascript in a plugin, like its used in nodejs? Or, do I need to learn C#?

Hi Vic, I'm really not the best person to ask here as I'm just adding to existing code via VS (cloned from Github) - but JS in a plugin is definitely an option.

If you are using Emby API's (which I presume you are) then it should translate reasonably well into the Emby Plugin framework. 

Have a reach out to @Cheesegeezer or @chef  is my advice.

I've not delved into the new Emby SDK, but cloning a public repo from Cheese or Chef might be a good indication on what's needed.

Why shoudln't you be allowed to be logged in parallel ?

Im right now logged into 7 emby devices with the same user (incl. Emby Tool).

Emby Tool counts toward your device limit, but that's kinda hard to reach.

 

Only thing I could think of, would be if that user is limited to 1 stream, mine is set to unlimited iirc thats default.

I will be home tomorrow and can answer your posts then.

Hello @VicMoore

You kept doing a great job on this,

Would you please add custom rating in bulk edit too?

I am managing my music library and i would like to set "Approved" as Custom Rating for the non-explicit ones.

 

Thanks a lot for this

[VicMoore 754]

Good morning LookAtYou.  Yes I will look into adding it this week.

btw Vic @VicMoore - Quick Tip - use the @ sign before the name and people will get alerted to your response/request - ie @Lookatyou rather than just Lookatyou ..

Hello, @VicMoore, I'm looking to try out your Emby tool, it looks amazing but for some reason my sign in won't take. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, my username and password is correct and as far as I can see in my settings, the server IP and port is correct. There is no indication as to which one is incorrect. I've retried about 10 times! Help lol

Edit: I'm thinking I'm entering the IP wrong, do you include the http:// and the 4-digit port number at the end of it?

[VicMoore 754]

Hello dee101...

I am here to help   Before you try to sign on, press the F12 key to bring up the browser console. Then sign on and copy the contents of the console and send it to me. This way I can see what's happening. Keep in mind that the tool is only tested on Edge and Chrome browsers.

@rbjtech thanks so much for this tip. I have wondered for some time about how this is done. You have taught me a new trick and that made my day.

@dee101you enter the servers ip address without a port. You can also leave off the http://.  You enter the port in the text field below the server ip.

@LookatyouTry out the new GUI code attached below. With it "Custom Rating" can be edited in bulk edit.

It works great! Thank you for this tool! I can now add tags to multiple files. It's probably been requested already but is there a way we can add 5-star ratings to music files? I used that alot in MusicBee and made smart playlists for 4-5 star rated songs. Could you add that or is there is a way to add them some other way? Someone said to use tags instead and number them, but I would prefer something more visual.

@dee101let me think about it...

Hey @VicMoore just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks, love your tool it has saved me many hours thanks to the ability to bulk update.

Just wanted to make you aware of a minor typo, when it connects as a new device, it is spelled 'Chhrome'

in 'tool.js'

function upload_signon(url) {
    let h = new Headers();
    h.append('Accept','application/json, text/plain, */*');
    h.append('Content-type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8');
    h.append('X-Emby-Authorization', 'MediaBrowser Client="EmbyTool", Device="Chhrome", DeviceId="12121212-1212-1212-12121212121212121", Version="1.0.0.0"');
    
    console.log("=== Sign On = ",url);

Keep up the great work!

Hi @VicMoore,
many thanks for the new gui. Certainly a lot of work.
May I draw your attention to my request again

[Junglejim 385]

Nice work with the new GUI update Vic..

Good luck with your plugin dev ambitions too.

[VicMoore 754]

@seanbuffthanks for pointing out this error. I would have never found it. 

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

Hello @Junglejim, it's always nice to hear from you. I am working hard on the plugin, and it is a struggle. I am learning C# and lots of Emby things. I don't know if I am up to the task.

Vic

[VicMoore 754]

Hello @mixXxim, I hope to circle back soon and implements more requests. Right now I am saturated with trying to make a plugin.
