Support Plex webhooks to enable immediate searches for recently added / recently watched / up-next

90 votes

One of the features I love on Sub Zero is that recently added content get scanned immediately as it's added. Also, if you're watching an episode, you can configure it to scan for that current episode and the next episode.

I think Plex webhooks might make this easy to implement using the 'library.new' and 'media.play' events. I'm not sure how Bazarr stores its metadata, but the webhook carries some metadata payload that could be used to match against the Bazarr store.

Alternatively, you could use Sonarr or Radarr custom webhooks ("Settings" > "Connect" > "Webhook"). It looks like it can post to the webhook on grab / download / upgrade / rename (download / upgrade probably being the most relevant).

@burkasaurusrex it's not possible as Sonarr doens't notify webhook on series added/modified.

@burkasaurusrex library.new seems useless to me as Bazarr should already search for missing subtitles when it get added to Sonarr/Radarr library (since 0.9.6 Bazarr get notified instantly when it happens).

As for media.play and media.resume. It pretty simple and I have a proof of concept working that I should be able to include in 0.9.7.

Anything else while I'm at it?
