Callback / Notification / Scrobble for Video Playback

Hi,

My apologies if this is a dumb question, but as the development documentation is offline I’m not having a lot of luck finding this … :(.

When I create a VideoObject, and let Plex play it … how to I configure to get some sort of notification / feedback as the items is playing (state, position in the file)? I have seen a few different items (scrobble, socket monitoring, notifications) … just not sure what the “right” way is to do it.

Thanks!

You can find the missing docs here:

Yep, checked that out - thanks! But I’m not sure some of the items captured are complete - are they? I don’t see any info on tracking playback (getting notifications / feedback) … or am I just missing it? Also, I want to point a VideoObject to a file, not only to a url. Is this not possible? I do see in the documentation how to handle a url, but not a file.

Thanks again.

Sorry…Not a “real” channel dev, mere a “util dev”.
Just wanted to point you to the missing docs you mentioned.

Maybe a real channel dev can step in here?

Completely understood - and much appreciated! Thanks so much for the help!
