Webhook and Plex Settings

[bubba925]

Got the new container up with the webui and its great, I was curious about how the webhook settings would work with Plex?

Do we need to disable the library settings for generating previews as well as remove it from scheduled tasks? I am pretty sure we might get some weird conflicts if the webhook fires this while Plex is doing it. Curious how we are supposed to go about this?

As a side note, I submitted a template for Unraid CA apps section to add this.

Hey @bubba925 did you see https://github.com/stevezau/plex_generate_vid_previews/blob/main/docs/guides.md#webhook-integration ?

[bubba925]

I did. I got them setup just fine. It's more a question about how this is handled on the Plex end. If thumbnails are enabled and it is actively generating and then the webhook attempts to generate we are going to conflict. I'm assuming we need to disable the generation in plex totally? I'm not sure if disabling in plex disables the feature totally or just generation?

If you are using the webhook then yes i'd suggest you disable plex thumbnail generation

I just updated, loving the changes and GUI! - No issues yet, might remove the images per library at a time to test it thoroughly however.
I leave all libraries disabled within Plex from generating them too as I guess that's the whole point of offboarding it to GPU process.

Ya that makes sense, I disabled in Plex and then double checked that the UI still uses the generated thumbnails if they exist in the appropriate folder. Seems to work great! Really appreciate the work, maybe support for multiple servers? I have a separate 4k server for 4k media that this would be useful for as well.
