Tautulli - Monitor your Plex Media Server

if you had read my post correctly i suggested he must of posted there just before i made my post here. issue was resolved.

Hi there. My push notifications used to work fine, but recently they’ve mainly stopped working. I get some push notifications but not others, randomly. If I run a test notification from the web page I get an error:

Tautulli Notifiers :: Request response: Error sending message. Invalid payload: {ā€œactionā€:"{action}",ā€œserverMachineIdā€:"{server_machine_id}",ā€œserverNameā€:"{server_name}",ā€œscriptā€:ā€œwebhookā€}

And if I run a notification test from my phone, I get a different error:

Tautulli Notifiers :: Request raised a HTTP error: [400] Bad Request (local client error).

I’ve uploaded all my logs here:

Any ideas?

Cheers
Jamie

was just on the install page and i’m not seeing instructions for manjaro. i know it’s in the repositories but doesn’t seem to install correctly from there. does anyone have proper instructions for manjaro, cause the below is all i see on the instructions page. thanks

Tautulli will be installed to /opt/Tautulli .

  • Open a terminal
  • Install Git
    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install git-core
    • Fedora: sudo yum install git
  • Install prerequisites:
    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install python python-setuptools tzdata
    • Fedora: sudo yum install python python2-setuptools
  • Type: cd /opt
  • Type: sudo git clone https://github.com/Tautulli/Tautulli.git
  • Optional:
    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo addgroup tautulli && sudo adduser --system --no-create-home tautulli --ingroup tautulli
    • CentOS/Fedora: sudo adduser --system --no-create-home tautulli
    • sudo chown tautulli:tautulli -R /opt/Tautulli
  • Type: cd Tautulli
  • Type: python Tautulli.py to start Tautulli
  • Tautulli will be loaded in your browser or listening on http://localhost:8181
  • To run Tautulli in the background on startup, refer to Install as a daemonote

We don’t provide support for the iOS app. You need to contact the app developer.

i would like to automate the launching and running of tautulli. i’d like to know if i can create a link to tautulli and simply have it do everything in the background including launching the browser and going opening tautulli’s local host? thanks

Psst… check the FAQ. LOTS of answers there to questions asked hundreds of times.
:slight_smile:
Especially this link from the faq page ā€œInstalling as a Deamonā€ (in techno-babble, simpllfied, deamon means ā€˜run in background’)

Psst…not what i had in mind. suggestion next time just attempt to answer the question without the smartass comment.

i’m not looking to have tautulli running constantly. i just want to create a link to automate launching the pyhon2 tuatulli.py in console, and then actually open the browser and open taurulli.

I don’t remember linux ā€˜shortcuts’, but in Windows, Tautulli already does what you ask by default. I don’t see why creating the linux equivalent wouldn’t do what you ask.

Windows users double-click tautulli.py (or a shortcut to it), and Python terminal opens, starts tautulli, and if Tautulli’s option under ā€œWeb interfaceā€ called ā€œopen brower at startupā€ is checked, it opens.
Many Windows users change the shortcut to open pythonw.exe instead of python.exe, so that the terminal window doesn’t open.

no in at least manjaro clicking the Tautulli.py file doesn’t do anything. opening konsole in tautulli’s folder, using sudo su entering password, entering python2 Tautulli.py is the only way i see to launch it at this point.

If I remember, you’ll need to make some type of script file that runs that exact terminal command.
I think they end in .sh, at least in my fuzzy memory.
Have fun learning linux.

you’re just replying to to increase your post count, DON"T. plex doesn’t give out bonus points for the number of post you have.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on these forums that I have less inclination to help than gRaVe-dIGgEr. Have fun with your problem, salty.

I’m purposely ignoring him.

I only check Tautulli infrequently (it’s just me, no users), but the last few times I have checked over the past few weeks, it shows all my libraries and media, but it shows no activity, which is certainly false. In the past week or so I’ve played media from work through Plex Web, and from home through Plex Web, Roku, and Android TV.

I’m not sure what troubleshooting steps there might be. Where do I start?
Plex Server: 1.18.4.2171
Plex Web: 4.18.1
Plex Android TV (Shield): 7.26.0.14578
Plex Roku: 6.4.9.6153

And, now, so will I.
At least in trying to assist someone else, I re-learned more about linux automation that I’d long since forgotten. I was also reminded some people just can’t be helped, even with great big signs offering clues ā€œThis is the way ------>ā€

Can I be of assistance here?

I run Plex and Tautulli on Win10. Prior to the latest Tautulli update, I had the GeoLite2 database showing up in the settings under ā€œTautulli Configurationā€. Now it shows at the very bottom in the ā€œTautulli Scheduled Tasksā€ section, but it shows the state as Inactive. I looked through the wiki and the installation instructions, but did not find any information to activate that task. Are there instructions to do this anywhere?

Under settings you need to click on 3rd Party APIs. There is then a link to here: https://github.com/Tautulli/Tautulli-Wiki/wiki/3rd-Party-APIs-Guide to explain getting it setup.

That did it. Thanks for pointing me there!
