I consider it as a failure of the RFC! I'm not responsible if a French word contains such a character ;)
First option is not possible since a placeholder is used in the app emitting the webhook.
So remains 2nd option that I will test. Thanks a lot for the tip.
Just FYI, the same remote app offers to send messages to a telegram bot and telegram displays correctly the single quote in the received message. You might consider not applying strictly the RFC.

I can't get it working because as soon as it enters the code, dzVents throw the error and code execution is stopped. It just have the time to log item.data and then the exception is thrown. As you see, item.data reports correctly the single quote

Can you show me the script as this should not happen and in fact in one of your previous posted log you already proved that the script will not abort when the JSON conversion fails. (it showed the dump)

Sure. Even if I comment everything starting at "if item.isCustomEvent then" the exception is thrown

Code: Select all

return {
	active = true, -- optional
	on = { 
		customEvents = {"plex"}
	},

--	data = { 
--		sid = { initial = "" }
--	},

	logging = {
		level = domoticz.LOG_INFO,
		marker = "plex script"
	},

	execute = function(dz, item)
		local _u = dz.utils
		local _h = dz.helpers
		local _d = dz.data
		local _ = dz.utils._
		
		if item.isCustomEvent then
			if item.trigger == "plex" then
				dz.log ("item data is: " .. item.data)
				if not(item.json) then
					dz.log ('JSON KO')
				  	local data  = dz.utils.fromJSON(item.data:gsub("@","\\u0027"))
				else
					local data = item.json
				end
				dz.log ("data after processing: " .. data)
			end
		end
	end
}

I left a wrong char in my code snippet. That was probably the reason you did not get the expected result.

If I send this curl

Code: Select all

#curl -d '{"action": "resume", "titre": "L'\''Arnaque"}' "http://nuc:8084/json.htm?type=command&param=customevent&event=plex"
to this script

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        customEvents =
        {
            'plex'
        },
    },


    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'plex script'
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)
        if item.isCustomEvent and item.trigger == "plex" then

            dz.utils.dumpTable(item)

            if not(item.json) then
                dz.log('Extra conversion needed.....' ,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
                  item.json = dz.utils.fromJSON(item.data:gsub("'","\\u0027"))
                  item.isJON = item.json ~= nil
            end

            dz.utils.dumpTable(item.json)
        end
    end
}
I get this in the log

With this new code, the exception is still thrown just after the dump table instruction. Same exception even if all the code is commented. I copied/pasted your last code, a typo error has been corrected (item.isJSON = item.json ~= nil)

Code: Select all

        if item.isCustomEvent and item.trigger == "plex" then
           dz.utils.dumpTable(item)
            if not(item.json) then
                dz.log('Extra conversion needed.....' ,dz.LOG_DEBUG)
                  item.json = dz.utils.fromJSON(item.data:gsub("'","\\u0027"))
                  item.isJSON = item.json ~= nil
            end
            dz.utils.dumpTable(item.json)

The point that I wanted to emphasize with this example script is that the error message you see does not stop the execution of the script.
The error message is correct and expected because a JSON string with a single quote in it is invalid. But this does not stop the script.

What you see as a typo is in fact a valid Lua statement. item.isJSON will be set to true if item.json is unequal to nil.

Go it as well. I was puzzled by this error and thought mistakenly that execution was stopped, which is indeed wrong. Thanks to your tip, it is working as expected.
Again, thanks a lot for the support of POST and your very kind support.

Please share.

oke EdwinK... here we go..

The script uses the Tautulli api.. so first you need to install Tautulli..

Code: Select all

https://github.com/Tautulli/Tautulli-Wiki/wiki/Installation
Once tautulli is instaled you can go to settings and navigate to Notification Agents and create a "webhook'
* webhook url :

Code: Select all

http://<domoticzURL + port>/json.htm?type=command&param=customevent&event=plex_woonkamer
( you can change: woonkamer to something else, but then in the script you need to change the custom event in exactly the same name)
(becouse we use an customEvent, you need to be on dzVents: 3:0:0!!)

* Webhook Method: post
* description: what ever you want

on the page: Triggers select:
* Playback Start
* Playback Stop
* Playback Pause
* Playback Resume

On the page: Conditions:
* Parameter: Player
* Operator: is
* Value: (Here you have to search in Plex for youre plex player name (in my case: SHIELD Android TV)

Then save the webhook.
We also need the API Key from tautulli, you can find it: settings/Web Interface, scrol down en note the API. Also make sure API is enabled.
Now were done in Tautulli.

In Domoticz you have to create a dummy device... first switch and then change it to: media player in Domoticz UI.

The script whit some final instructions.

Code: Select all

		local scriptVersion = ' release: v1.3: 20200306 '
		local scriptVar = ' plex woonkamer ' .. scriptVersion
		
	--<[================================================================================================]>--	
	--<[ 				      dzVents: Plex status 2 Domoticz   			    ]>--
	--<[================================================================================================]>-
						
		local tautulli_ip = 'xxx'	-- tautulli ip:port 
		local tautulli_api = 'xx'	-- tautulli api key 
		
		local plex_player	= 'SHIELD Android TV' 		-- the plex player you want the status off				
		local dz_plex_player 	= 26				-- IDX number plex media player device 

		
	return 
		{
			on = { 	customEvents 	= { 'plex_woonkamer',},		-- if you change the webhook URL make sure this match 
				timer		= { 'every minute'  		-- this only runs when a movie is playing on selected player		
		},
	       		httpResponses 		= { scriptVar .. '*', },
		},
			logging	 		= { level 	= domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,	-- set to LOG_ERROR when testen and ok. 
						    marker 	= scriptVar,
		},
			data 			= { plex	= { initial = {}, },		
		},
			
   
	execute = function(dz, item, triggerInfo)
   	
		local jsonPlexInfo = {}
		local callback = scriptVar .. 'getPlexInfo'
		
		-- make sure timer only trigger script when pms is active 
		if item.isCustomEvent then 
			dz.data.plex.active = 'true' 
		end 
		
		if dz.data.plex.active == 'true' then 
			if item.isCustomEvent or item.isTimerer then 
	    end 
		
		-- get plex information	trough tautulli api 	
			local function getPlexInfo( target, json, callback)
            local url = 'http://' .. target .. '/' .. json   
            dz.openURL
			
			({ 
               			url = url, 
				method = 'GET', 
				callback = callback,
            		})
        
		end
		
		if item.isCustomEvent or item.isTimer then
			
		getPlexInfo( tautulli_ip, '/api/v2?apikey=' .. tautulli_api .. '&cmd=get_activity', callback )
		
			return
		end 

		 if item.isHTTPResponse then
            
		jsonPlexInfo = dz.utils.fromJSON(item.data)
            	if not(jsonPlexInfo) then return end
		
		else 
            		dz.log('Unexpected result from API ',dz.LOG_ERROR )
                dz.utils.dumpTable(item)
        end 

		dz.data.initialize('plex') 

		-- find match in player name (api showing more players when more streams are active) 
		for _, record in ipairs(jsonPlexInfo.response.data.sessions) do
				
			if record.player:match(plex_player) then 
				
					dz.data.plex.active = ('true')   
					dz.data.plex.state 	= (record.state) 
					dz.data.plex.title	= (record.full_title) 
					dz.data.plex.progress = (record.progress_percent)
										
				end 			
			end 
			
		-- Change json output for updating device 	
		if dz.data.plex.state == 'playing' then player_state = 7
			elseif dz.data.plex.state == 'buffering' then player_state = 7
			elseif dz.data.plex.state == 'paused' then player_state = 2
									
		end 
		
		-- updating device 
		if dz.data.plex.active == 'true' then 
		dz.devices(dz_plex_player).update(player_state, dz.data.plex.title .. ' : ' .. dz.data.plex.progress .. ' %').silent() 
			
		else 
			
		dz.devices(dz_plex_player).update(0, 'no media playing').silent() 

	     end 
	end 
   end 
}

There is a syntax error at get plex info. one slash too much before api. must be
getPlexInfo( tautulli_ip, 'api/v2?apikey=' .. tautulli_api .. '&cmd=get_activity', callback )

Has anyone managed to get the newly created Plex Switch to control lights when state changes between Playing and Paused? I’ve tried LUA and blocky and the scripts run fine but the light switches don’t change.

Code: Select all

    local mediaPlayerStates =
    	{ 	
    		Off = 0,
    		On = 1,
    		Paused = 2,
    		Stopped = 3,
    		Video = 4,
    		Audio = 5,
    		Photo = 6,
    		Playing = 7,
    		Disconnected = 8, 
    		Sleeping = 9, 
    		Unknown = 10,
    	}

Finally got it working, but not until I changed

Code: Select all

if record.player:match(plex_player) then


to

Code: Select all

if record.player == plex_player then
I'm glad it works, but can't stand not knowing what is wrong. Does anyone know?

My player:

Code: Select all

local plex_player	= 'LG OLED55E7N-Z'
Thx!
