Activities

(activities)

Overview

Activities are awesome. They provide a way to monitor and control asynchronous operations on the server. In order to receive real-time updates for activities, a client would normally subscribe via either EventSource or Websocket endpoints. Activities are associated with HTTP replies via a special X-Plex-Activity header which contains the UUID of the activity. Activities are optional cancellable. If cancellable, they may be cancelled via the DELETE endpoint. Other details:

• They can contain a progress (from 0 to 100) marking the percent completion of the activity.
• They must contain an type which is used by clients to distinguish the specific activity.
• They may contain a Context object with attributes which associate the activity with various specific entities (items, libraries, etc.)
• The may contain a Response object which attributes which represent the result of the asynchronous operation.
