Playback start notification does not work

[STRUBartacus]

Hello

Thank you very much for this plugin. Unfortunately, the Playback Start notification does not work for me, although it is activated, see screenshot. Playback Stop, on the other hand, works. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks and regards

Hello and thanks for using the plugin ;)

This notification works for (latest plugin and Jellyfin version) and it's the first time someone tells me this error.

Maybe check your logs. Use Ctrl+f and search for "telegram" to easily find the relevant logs. If the message is well sent you should see Jellyfin.Plugin.TelegramNotifier.Plugin: ("PlaybackStart"): Message sent successfully..

Tell me what you have when you start your content and try with another user to see if you still get the same issue.

Hope we will find out !

Thanks for the quick reply! :-)

I was able to find that in the logs:

[2024-11-04 15:22:35.320 +01:00] [ERR] ("PlaybackStart"): Message could not be sent, please check your configuration.

So the notifier has been activated... That's odd. Do you have more details about the event itself in the logs next to it ?

These are the logs of a start/stop event:

By the way: Playback Progress works:

[RomainPierre7]

My best guess is because playback start shows an image within the message. That's the only difference with playback stop.

Reaching for image: "http://https://media.censored.net/Items/c88daac2-4d85-ec05-45a9-b95884c453c9/Images/Primary

The url of the image you are trying to reach for in your log is incorrect (twice https://)

[STRUBartacus]

I have found the error: I changed the server URL to localhost:8086 and now it works. Thank you very much for your help

[RomainPierre7]

Oh exactly, you don't have to write the http.s method for the server address like in the examples. I'm glad it works now.

Thanks for using the plugin. Enjoy ;)
