Configuration to check if Someine is playing Movies with Jellyfin

[grumat]

I was looking for a way to keep my server on while someone is watching movies on Jellyfin service. These are the steps:

First you require an API KEY. See these instructions to create a ApiKey.

Then add to your autosuspend.conf:

[check.JellyFin]
class = JsonPath
enabled = True
url = http://127.0.0.1:8096/Sessions?ApiKey=<paste-here-your-api-key>
jsonpath = $$.[*].NowPlayingItem.Id

Please look at the url line. There you should add your API Key. Hope it helps.

If you have some time, it would be great to transform this into a pull request for the documentation.

Not sure, if there is a difference between the syntax used by Emby or its fork Jellyfin, but IMHO it should be:

[check.Emby]
class = JsonPath
enabled = true
url = http://<your_ip>:8096/Sessions?api_key=<your_key>
jsonpath = $.[*].NowPlayingItem.Id

There shouldn't be a difference as the json path is evaluated in autosuspend and not on the server.

The two differences are:
api_key instead of ApiKey, as the URL with apikey doesn't exist.
One $-sign, instead of two $$, at least the online available jsonpath-testers didn't recognize the later expression.
