Allow UUID filter to be an array

[chippoman]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have two separate Plex players connected to my AVR and BEQ setup. A Shield and a Zidoo Z9X Pro. I would like to load ezbeq profiles only when one of these two players is playing something.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow the UUID field in config.json to be an array. Example:

"plex": { "ownerNameFilter": "myOwnerName", "deviceUUIDFilter": ["2879a23a97e0bcbe-com-plexapp-android", "a2a2ef8a7cacff5a-com-plexapp-android"], "url": "http://myurl", "port": "32400", "token": "PLACEHOLDER for future use" },

I also tried the following format (using || operators like for authors):

"plex": { "ownerNameFilter": "myOwnerName", "deviceUUIDFilter": "2879a23a97e0bcbe-com-plexapp-android" || "a2a2ef8a7cacff5a-com-plexapp-android", "url": "http://myurl", "port": "32400", "token": "PLACEHOLDER for future use" },

As of 2.1.1, neither format to specify multiple UUIDs seem to work. It doesn't seem to recognize my second UUID as a valid client so that it can send a payload to ezbeq:

time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=info msg="Got a request from UUID: a2a2ef8a7cacff5a-com-plexapp-android" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="ProcessWebhook: Media type is: movie" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="ProcessWebhook: Media title is: The Last Voyage of the Demeter" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="Current length of plexChan: 0" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="Added length of plexChan: 0" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="Current length of plexChan in PlexWorker: 0" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="Sending new payload to eventRouter" [GIN] 2023/09/30 - 20:27:08 | 200 | 891.476µs | 192.168.0.99 | POST "/plexwebhook" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="Client UUID does not match enabled filter" time="09-30-2023 20:27:08" level=debug msg="eventRouter done processing payload"

Describe alternatives you've considered Leaving the UUID field blank, which would allow all players to send a payload to ezbeq, but this doesn't work for my household as I have Plex players in other rooms of the house that are not connected to my minidsp/ezbeq.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

NP I can implement that

Please try out 2.1.9

Thanks, the new UUID filtering seems to work. My two devices are being whitelisted, and anything else is being rejected, so that's great!

time="10-11-2023 16:49:01" level=debug msg="Sending new payload to eventRouter" time="10-11-2023 16:49:01" level=debug msg="filter '[2879a23a97e0bcbe-com-plexapp-android a2a2ef8a7cacff5a-com-plexapp-android]' does not match uuid '53a3nrd0dipvcmtd7sgqbjsd'" time="10-11-2023 16:49:01" level=info msg="Got a webhook but Client UUID '53a3nrd0dipvcmtd7sgqbjsd' does not match enabled filter" time="10-11-2023 16:49:01" level=debug msg="eventRouter done processing payload"

But something else seems to have broken. I borked my docker setup in unraid while pulling 2.1.9 so had to start over. I used the new web UI to create my new config.json.

From the logs I can see that it gets the Plex metadata, but I don't think it's sending any payloads to ezbeq to search and load filters:

I'm also seeing errors about topics. I don't have MQTT set up, so all the MQTT settings in config.json are blank.

It's using the correct ezbeq ip and port (http://192.168.0.210:8080). I also confirmed that it is able to ping that IP.

hmm okay thats weird can you post your config with secrets redacted. You might be missing a port or http:// somewhere also make sure the config is in lowercase for all keys if you are migrating from an older version
