(activities)
Activities are awesome. They provide a way to monitor and control asynchronous operations on the server. In order to receive real-time updates for activities, a client would normally subscribe via either EventSource or Websocket endpoints.
Activities are associated with HTTP replies via a special X-Plex-Activity
header which contains the UUID of the activity.
Activities are optional cancellable. If cancellable, they may be cancelled via the DELETE
endpoint. Other details:
- They can contain a
progress
(from 0 to 100) marking the percent completion of the activity. - They must contain an
type
which is used by clients to distinguish the specific activity. - They may contain a
Context
object with attributes which associate the activity with various specific entities (items, libraries, etc.) - The may contain a
Response
object which attributes which represent the result of the asynchronous operation.
