Emby/Jellyfin Sensor Response Time

I recently moved from using Plex to Jellyfin. Using Jellyfin I can integrate the players with the Emby HA component.

It shows up fine and the sensor responds nice and quick for starting and stopping. However when I pause it takes a solid 15-20 seconds before it reports as paused.

This is rather annoying when I’m automating lights when I pause to grab something or if someone needs something. Previously with Plex/Tautulli I would use MQTT and all items would be near instant making a really nice automation for lights.

Does anyone have any suggestions on creating a better solution for a faster responding sensor for pausing with Emby/Jellyfin?

Right now there is not MQTT integration with Emby/Jellyfin but I’m hoping that maybe someone has a suggestion that might work better for me.

Thank you in advance!

did you find a solution as I have some issue with Jellyfin and using Emby integration, it updates when it wants and most of time not :sleepy:
