TELEMBY

A simple Telegram Bot for Emby

Powered by Docker

This is a simple python-based bot to carry out some trivial Emby tasks and retrieve some data.

For ease, it is held inside a Docker Container.

It is configured to only allow input from one user (i.e You) so you need to specify your telegram user id in the config.

N.B - This has been done with approx 1 weeks worth of python under my belt, so the code may be (is) ugly!

Known Issues:

• Json formatting isn't pretty

To Do:

• Slim down the base image
• Search Library

From DockerHub

You need to specify the config vars in the docker run command:

• BOT: Telegram Bot Token
• USER: Telegram User ID
• SERVER: Address of Emby Server - this requires the http(s):// prefix as well as a trailing slash (see below example)
• API: Emby API Key

docker run -d --env BOT=BOTTOKEN--env USER=TELEGRAM-UID--env SERVER=http://emby-server.domain:port/ --env API=EMBY-API-KEY --name telemby matty87a/telemby
