Run script (.sh/.py) on Pause/Start/Stop

Hi,

 

Ive been looking, in my opnion, all over the forum but i can't find a good answer on my question: Is it possible to run a bash or python script when you start, stop or pause a video in RasPlex? I dont want to depend on Plex watch scripts who are cronned every minute. I just want to press the Pause button and a script runs. Same for start and stop.

 

It's for controlling my Philips Hue lights.

 

I have RasPlex running on my RaspPi2 (v0.5.1).

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Kind regards.

I believe this question was asked some time ago, and I think Philips lights were mentioned. Unfortuneatly there is no way to run scripts on button presses that I know of without changing the code and recompiling,

With plexwatch you can run custom commands on play/paused/resumed/stop/watched/watching.

Yes but that runs external to Rasplex and communicates with Plex Media Server directly, suggest asking in that forum, you never know, someone may be able to help.  Or you could write your own app using the Plex API.
