Hi,
Ive seen many api posts or even wikis but none of them really made sense to me.
Would be someone kind enough to actually tell me what would we the url request to pause a movie ?
I’m looking for this to integrat into my house automation system so that the movie apuses automatially when the my 5 y kid open its door during the night. My device can send a URL put or get request trigger by an event (here : the door just oppened and movement detected)

So far, what i could find is : https://192.168.0.110:32400/player/playback/playMedia/pause?X-Plex-Token={my token}&Client-Identifier={the device actually playing the content ID}
All i get is a 400 bad request error. Guess something is missing. :slight_smile:

Thanks for any help.

answering my own request :
the proper way to do this is :

http://192.168.0.110:32400/system/players/127.0.0.1/playback/pause?X-Plex-Token={my token}&Client-Identifier={the device actually playing the content ID}
