REST API Activity Sensor For Home Assistant

[AlexKusnezov]

Guys, I've been playing this around a little bit and what I want is to have a sensor in HA that displays all of the data for the current stream, e.g. audio format and number of channels, similar to this integration: https://github.com/Richardvaio/Tautulli_Active_Streams

So far I've benn able to retrive the user, play state, method, anme and path:

- platform: rest
  unique_id: jellystat
  name: Jellystat
  icon: mdi:jellyfish
  resource: http://192.168.2.10:3000/proxy/getSessions
  headers:
    X-API-Token: my-api-token
    Content-Type: application/json
  value_template: "{{value_json[0].UserName| default}},{{value_json[0].PlayState.PlayMethod | default}}"
  json_attributes_path: "$.[0].NowPlayingItem"
  json_attributes:
    - Name
    - Path

However I'm still missing datae that is especially relevant for me, which is audio codec and number of audio channels.
The purpose for this is, that I have a surround system that I can control throguh HA and based on jellystat data I want to automate thing, e.g. apply correct surropund volume.

I'm already doing this for plex with the above mentioned tautulli integration, but I would love to have it for jellyfin also, since plex will probably stop at some time being a free version for local playback.

Hey @AlexKusnezov , the /getSessions endpoint is just relaying the /sessions data from jellyfin without any modifications. This means that its actually jellyfin thats not providing that information in their session data. You could try and check if theres any other endpoints that Jellyfin provides that could possibly include the additional info your looking for
