Tauticord

A Discord bot that displays live data from Tautulli

Features

Tauticord uses the Tautulli API to pull information from Tautulli and display them in a Discord channel, including:

OVERVIEW:

• Number of current streams
• Number of transcoding streams
• Total bandwidth
• Total LAN bandwidth

FOR EACH STREAM:

• Stream state (playing, paused, stopped, loading)
• Media type (tv show/movie/song/photo)
• User
• Media title
• Product and player
• Quality profile
• Stream bandwidth
• If stream is transcoding

MODIIFIED FROM nwithan8's version in the following ways:

• Faster and more efficient thanks to minimal communication with Discord
  • Edit a single message with updated information rather than delete and replace (but replace if message isn't the bottom-most message in the channel)
  • Only edit/add message if message contents differ from previous message, so almost all communication with Discord is eliminated
  • Add/remove individual reactions only when neessary
• Use of embeds (optional) and more symbols for more aesthetic output
• Use convenient units for bitrate reporting
• Include media type in stream info

Administrator (the bot owner) can react to Tauticord's messages to terminate a specific stream.

Requirements

• A Plex Media Server
• Tautulli (formerly known as PlexPy)
• A Discord server

Analytics

Tauticord uses Google Analytics to collect statistics such as common errors that will help with future development. This data is limited, anonymous, and never sold or redistributed.

When and what data is collected?

• Whenever the bot comes online
  • What operating system the bot is running on (Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.)
• Whenever an error is logged
  • What Python function the error occurred in.

What data is NOT collected:

• Any identifying information about the user
• Any identifying information about the computer/machine (a random ID is generated on each analytics call, IP addresses are anonymized)
• Settings for Discord or Tautulli, including passwords, API tokens, URLs, etc.
• Any data from Tautulli
• Anything typed in Discord.
