Add Emby Support

[jetbalsa]

Emby Support /should/ be pretty easy to add for partial updates.

The API Endpoint you are looking for is http://{IP-PORT}/emby/Library/Media/Updated?api_key={APIKEY}

with the post data of

{
  "Updates": [
    {
      "Path": "{FullPathToLocalFileAsSeenByEmby}",
      "UpdateType": "Created"
    }
  ]
}

Per the API Docs the UpdateType can be "Created","Modified", "Deleted"

In the embyserver.txt logs you can find the API Call and its actions, This is a example I did probing out the API using curl

I monkey patched the hell out of start_scan function to do a test run

I replaced it with

def start_scan(path, scan_for, scan_type, scan_title=None, scan_lookup_type=None, scan_lookup_id=None):
    if conf.configs['SERVER_USE_SQLITE']:
        section = 1
        db_exists, db_file = db.exists_file_root_path(path)
        if not db_exists and db.add_item(path, scan_for, section, scan_type):
            logger.info("Added '%s' to Plex Autoscan database.", path)
            logger.info("Proceeding with scan...")
        else:
            logger.info(
                "Already processing '%s' from same folder. Skip adding extra scan request to the queue.", db_file)
            resleep_paths.append(db_file)
            return False
    postdata = "{  \"Updates\": [    {      \"Path\": "+json.dumps(path)+",      \"UpdateType\": \"Created\"    }  ]}"
    logger.info("Custom Processing '%s' for Emby", path)
    logger.info("Sending: %s", postdata)
    r = http.request('POST', 'http://192.168.1.191:8096/emby/Library/Media/Updated?api_key=#APIKEY#', body=postdata, headers={'accept':'application/json', 'Content-Type':'application/json'})
    logger.info("%s", r.headers)
    return True

Logs from emby show a good update that happens and shows up on the media server to the end users once FFProbe is done going over the file

Thanks. But PAS may not be necessary when using Emby with any of the ARRs. The built in “connect“ for Emby already sends a path-specific scan request. This script makes sense for Plex as there is no API for that. I guess you could use it for the Google Drive monitoring aspect.

[RXWatcher]

Google drive monitoring would be where I see this being useful. I'm in support of adding this.

[jetbalsa]

Thats what I use it for as well, When GDrive gets updated and auto updates Emby

[titooo7]

Google drive monitoring would be where I see this being useful. I'm in support of adding this.

I couldn't get JRWR modification working for myself due to same error about module http not defined. So I forked it and make my own modification which use curl. Here it is just in case you can give it a try: https://github.com/titooo7/plex_emby_jellyfin_autoscan

Of course it would be better to have this done in the original plex_autoscan project since he is actually an skilled dev while I'm not even beginner, but for the time being my fork works at least...

[Quick104]

Sonarr/Radarr's Emby connection has pretty hit or miss for me lately.

Would definitely be useful. Even if it was just drive monitoring

I would like to see this for plex autoscan. My windows laptop could well use this for jellyfin

That doesn't have windows support. Nor does it work with windows drives

[RXWatcher]

It actually does work on windows: Your machine runs Linux, macOS or WSL2

PAS(PlexAutoScan) is effectively sunset as L3uddz has moved on.

You can run the much newer AutoScan on windows via WSL2 and you can map drives in WSL2: https://linuxnightly.com/mount-and-access-hard-drives-in-windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl/

It might be time to become comfortable with linux.

Sad to that. I already tried setting up autoscan with WSL2 and the windows drives with the slashes messes everything up (and the developer over there refused to even bother).

Hmm...I might just try to take a fork and take a stab at making something for Emby/Jellyfin in order to have a native windows build which work with windows drives.

If anyone is still looking for this, I made a fork with jellyfin and emby support. I have not yet tested it with windows. https://github.com/NiNiyas/autoscan
