I was wondering if anyone here has been able to perform actions when Jellyfin is playing something (or with Chrome Cast/Jellyfin).
I’ve not been able to find any attribute for playing or paused. I was thinking if “media title” is blank, or something, as an indication nothing is on, but I’m not sure if that’s feasible either.
Any ideas anyone?
– quick update.
So, I went to developer tools and checked the states for Chrome Jellyfin and saw “playing” as a state, couldn’t seem to find a way to make that an appropraite trigger for automation, but I set the media_content_type: to tvshow / movies as an indication I am watching something.
So when this happens I can do whatever I need to. Lights off, projector on, etc.
Maybe someone can chime in on a better way to do this.
