embyupdate is a plugin that lets you automatically update Emby‘s library whenever you change your beets library.
To use embyupdate plugin, enable it in your configuration (see Using Plugins). Then, you’ll want to configure the specifics of your Emby server. You can do that using an emby: section in your config.yaml, which looks like this:
emby:
host: localhost
port: 8096
username: user
apikey: apikey
To use the embyupdate plugin you need to install the requests library with:
pip install requests
With that all in place, you’ll see beets send the “update” command to your Emby server every time you change your beets library.
The available options under the emby: section are:
You can choose to authenticate either with apikey or password, but only one of those two is required.
