Auto Emby Accounts

Use python requests to add and configure new accounts on an Emby server.

Notice

Use this script at your own risk.

Requirements

• Python 3
  • requests
• An Emby account with administrator privileges

Usage

To get the script started, you need a couple inputs. First, and the most important, would be the config.py file.

Configuration

config.py will have comments above the definition that will explain what each setting does.

# Different Logging Levels
#     4: DEBUG
#     3: INFO
#     2: WARNING
#     1: ERROR
#     0: CRITICAL
log_level = 3

# When set true, if the script finds a user that already exists,
# the script will attempt to change the policy of that user,
# and add the emby connect account to that user.
overwrite = False

# The url to your Emby server
emby_base_url = 'http://localhost:8096'

# Login info for an account on your Emby server that has admin privileges
# Username
emby_admin_uname = ''
# Password
emby_admin_passwd = ''

# The script will avoid doing anything to these users AND admin_uname
avoid_users = [
    'Python',
    'Admin1122'
]

# number of seconds before the first request will timeout.
timeout = 2

# Determine whether or not to output in tsv format. Will be text if False
tsv_out = True

# If all thats provided is a connect username, this prefix will be put at
# the start of the username on the server
user_prefix = '!'

# These are the user policy changes that will be made. Can be empty
user_policy = {
    # 'IsAdministrator':                  False,          # True|False
    # 'IsHidden':                         True,           # True|False
    # 'IsHiddenRemotely':                 True,           # True|False
    # 'IsDisabled':                       False,          # True|False
    # 'MaxParentalRating':	              None,           # int|None
    # 'BlockedTags':	                    [],             # string[]
   ...
}

Adding Users

To define the usernames of the accounts, create a file named in.txt and use the following format, values comma separated.

test, ConnectUsername1
ConnectUsername2

With the first line in this example, the script will create a user named test and attempt to link ConnectUsername1 to that account.

The second line will create a user named !ConnectUsername2 and attempt to link ConnectUsername2 to that account. The "!" can be changed in the config under user_prefix

The account password will be a random 20 character alphanumeric string.

Output

Outupt of this script, in out.txt or out.tsv, should look something like this

---------------[2020-09-07 03:18:33.671850]---------------
LocalUser69420	EmbyConnect123	1WabMUMnaaXylCfIGrnx

Values are tab separated. The leftmost value is the username on the emby server, while the second value is the emby connect username. The third value is the password for the account on the server.
