I am using PlexPass on my PMS running on FreeNAS. My primary client is nVidia Shield. I have webhooks enabled and set to fire to my Home Assistant, which is able to parse the JSON and has debugging enabled. When I start playing media, per my raw debug logs, I never get the “media.play” message. “media.pause”, “media.resume”, and “media.stop” are received and function as intended, so I know its not my server or message path.
Do I need to do anything special to enable the “media.play” webhook?
Hi,
Flow this thread (if not done so already), Paul has made a clever script to limit metadata and fix features like the ‘event’ media. play.
It should solve your problem using a Raspberry Pi and pointing Home Assistant to that. GL!
It would be interesting to see if this helps with your problem. If it does, could you consider voting for the feature suggestion on the post @mr_Stog mentions.
Do pause & resume requests work for you? Play requests can cause a prob;em with some apps as Plex sends a multipart message, with the second part containing a .jpeg of the cover art which they can not handle.
While the script was written to remove the .jpeg and create a single part message for webcore, it may work for other apps. It may also be worth experimenting with using the commented out delete commands to shorten the message if you think it is a message length issue. (this is not an issue for webcore)
