To check if a device supports Trigger on Play or Trigger on Activity, follow this procedure:

• Enable debug mode by adding debug: true to the configuration file
• Enable the trigger you wish to test by setting trigger_on_xxxx to true
• Start PlexAutoLanguages
• For Trigger on Play, start watching an episode on the client you wish to test If you see a log similar to this, Trigger on Play is supported: [DEBUG] [Play Session] Session: 4 | State: 'playing' | User id: 1 | Episode: <Episode:23268:The-Crown-s04e09>
• For Trigger on Activity, browse episodes of the Plex library on the client you wish to test If you see a log similar to this, Trigger on Activity is supported: [DEBUG] [Activity] User: xxx | Episode: <Episode:23268:The-Crown-s04e09>

I wouldn’t completely ditch it already. As I said, at least on iOS, it’s the only way to make the program work, and it does. It detects activity after the file has been played, so it’s useful and necessary for this platform.

What I’m thinking myself is a unified “hybrid” mode. Where it would trigger on play for supported platforms, and check for activity after a file has been played for the remaining. This way it will work on everything every time.

The implementation method might require some thinking and thinkering, but I hope I explained myself well enough.
