Hello! I use Emby as a self-hosted media server. An external integration exposing the playback status (currently playing, on which device, what content) and scene triggers — dimming the living room lights when a movie starts, bringing them back up when paused — would enable real « home cinema » scenarios. The Emby API is local and documented, and the approach could easily extend to Jellyfin, its technically very close fork. _Identified need based on my home automation setup, analyzed and written with the help of Claude (AI) — reviewed and approved by me._ ---

Hi @AlexTrovato! Emby is covered by the external integration **Jellyfin & Emby** (guim31, v0.4.0). It exposes the playback status: playing or paused, and the content. These changes are scene triggers. You can dim the lights when a movie starts, and bring them back up when paused. Integrations → « Jellyfin » or « Emby ». The server must be reachable by Gladys. I’m moving this topic to « Delivered requests ». If there’s still a case that doesn’t fit, open a new topic: it will be easier to follow. ---
