Hello JonnyWing16 and other Plexpy/Tautulli enthusiasts,

i have been using Plexpy since a while for now but recently (and accidentially) updated to Tautulli. I liked the update from the beginning but ran into a problem/difference to the version before.
I run Plex and Tautulli on an openmediavault v3.0.99. For power reasons I have a configured AutoShutdown plugin that looks for active traffic on different ports. In this list I have added the Plex port 32400. Since the update to Tautulli my server does not go to sleep because there is a constant connection on that port. It is connected to the processID of Tautulli on my server.
This was not the case with Plexpy.
Is this constant connection necessary? Is this a bug or intended?

Greetings and thanks in advance
hsb

Tautulli uses a constant websocket connection instead of polling the Plex server.

So this is intended and will not get changed to the state before?

No.

Pretty unclear answer to a two-part question.

I am still on plexpy because the update seems to fail.
Thisis the error the log shows:

What do I need to do to get the update?

I’ll likely vote on it.
Difficult to tell what, if any, grouping logic is currently used.
And if there is a grouping logic, at least request alphabetizing the items within each group in the drop down list.

Grouped the same as the notifications parameter popup.

That did the trick, thanks!

@jstrollo17 - Since you already have Python installed and working for Tautulli, check out PlexEmail - https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/151619/plexemail-email-recently-added-media/p1
The email isn’t anywhere as “pretty” as how sleek Tautulli is, but it gets the job done. (and if you know HTML/python, you could hack the python code a bit)
I have mine go out mid-day Friday, and it let’s those I share with have idea if they want to watch what’s been added over the weekend.

I really should go to feathub and see if a weekly scheduled event can be added.

There is also this @jstrollo17. Which is listed in the custom scripts section in the wiki.

JamminR · March 22, 2018, 1:36am

@blacktwin - totally forgot I’d seen that in your stack 'o scripts. Thanks for that.
Are images included inline for the email, or are they hosted on PMS?
Ever thought about adding an “output to index.html file option, at user specified location” using css theme borrowed from Tautulli? I like PlexEmail because it will automatically host the images on a cloud service, but post the HTML/css files anywhere (like on my hobby web server, where I don’t mind hosting text but don’t host images)
How do you handle feature requests? Your issue tracker?

Yeah, I kind of figured they were grouped in some way. At least alphabetize by category[parameter][3]

Hi Guys, another question regarding email notifications.

When i set my SMTP server (my internet providers SMTP server on port 25) … it works perfectly with the SMTP username / password blank (because my ISP does not require authentication - it relays for my IP address) … however Tautulli seems to be auto-populating periodically the username / password field in the SMTP Email settings within notifications - using my plex credentials (which does not work of course), and breaks my email notifications.

Any idea why it keeps insisting on populating a username /password? Particularly one that won’t work? I want it to stay blank, which it needs to be.

You are using a password manager with auto-fill.

Negative (first thing that pops into my head too). I successfully saved the configuration as blank … hours and hours went by where the configuration was effective … and then it broke again.

When i went back into view the settings, it had re-populated (about the third time).

Unless I am tripping balls here ?

I upgraded to Tautulli this morning, and noticed that all Chromecast data was being recorded as “Chrome” and I got so bummed out! Ugh!

…then I saw Plex’s “Announcement” and saw this is likely not Tautulli’s fault. (the Chromecast screen no longers shows background artwork or anything…so bummed, but that is off topic). Anyways, coincidental I did it on the same day.

Any idea on if you folks have been in touch with the Plex folks about the data misrepresenting as Chrome instead of Chromecast? Is there a way around that?

Thanks!

This doesn’t bother anyone? Just me?

Love to get the Chromecast stats back. Sorry to bother if this isn’t a big deal for others.

You have a password manager. There is no other explanation. Use a different browser, disable your extensions.

There is nothing I can do if Plex is reporting it as Chrome. Tautulli isn’t magic, it can only know what your Plex server tells it.

That’s a bummer. Do you report bugs like this to them? They’d likely listen to you more than us. Well, especially me. I have submitted so many logs that result in zero changes to the bugs I find. They call the bugs I find obscure and don’t fix them. My fault for using the product thoroughly and taking the time to tell them about how to make it better.

Anyways, thanks for the reply though! That’s appreciated, and if you do happen to report stuff, let them know this might be a fun one to fix!

hi Guys, silly question that I couldn’t work out from the FAQ

What is the “web interface”? and how does it differ from the main Tautulli interface on port 8659?
I have it defined on 8181 (including IP), but can’t reach it (unsure why as yet, but thats a side issue to my question).

I am successfully using Tautulli on http://ip.address:8659/
