[Request] Killstream message enhancements

[drizuid]

Can we get the option to send {player} and {platform} in the richmedia stream to discord/slack? I have my plex users in a discord channel so they can see this info, but for some of them, they have to ask me which device was being used. Currently, i have a script that sends that info to me via pushover so I can yell at them on discord but im looking to automate. Eventually i'll need to look at matching their plex friendly name with their discord name so I can use mentions.. but that's future (unless you guys are already looking at it!)

You can do this now. A simple edit to the script. This block. Mainly this part:

                    "fields": [
                        {
                            "inline": True,
                            "name": "User",
                            "value": self.stream.friendly_name
                        },

Create another dictionary with inline, name, and value.

• Inline is the positioning
• name is what you'll see as the subject of the message
• value is what you'll see as the body of the message

Use this picture for reference.

You'd want:

{"inline": True,
 "name": "Player",
"value": self.stream.player},
{"inline": True,
 "name": "Platform",
"value": self.stream.platform},

To find what the other possible self.stream.* names are, check here. It's up to you what you want to see in the message.

Again that is up to you. To tag someone in discord from a bot or script you need to use their ID. So in Discord right click on the user and Copy ID. Then wrap it in <> and prefix an @: <@1234567890>. You can add some kind of dictionary of your users and their IDs into the script.

discord_users = {'steve': '<@1234567890>',
                 'mike': '<@0987654321>'}

Then check against it to grab the ID to add into the message.
