emby-cli-monitor

a basic cli monitor for emby.

GUI Version Here

I love emby but not so much the dashboard, sometimes i just want a quick overview of what's playing without all the extra stuff.

Usage

Edit the url and key with your info. You can get an emby api key by going to your Dashboard>Advanced>Security and then you can generate a key.

Install the requirements
pip3 install –upgrade -r requirements.txt

Run the program
python3 embystatus.py

It updates every 120 seconds, you can change this towards the bottom in the threading timer line. I suggest not going less then 60 seconds, it could slow things down if you make to many calls a min.

Changes

  • added playback status
  • added easier way to change colors of each section
Disclaimer
I’m still learning python so this will probably be refined and tweaked a lot, but I have been running it for a few months now without issue as is.
