Friendly Names
A number of people have now asked if Ombi and Tautulli can synchronise 'friendly names' or 'aliases' for users.
At present there is no built-in support for this.
However, one of the Discord users (thanks, DirtyCajunRice) wrote a python script to achieve this.
Enter the URLs and API keys for your Ombi and Tautulli instances, and save the file into your preferred scripts folder as sync_aliases.py.
I prefer:
- Windows:
C:\Scripts\ - Linux:
/opt/scripts/
Once that's done, enter a command prompt/terminal and run python sync_aliases.py to run the script and have it match entries.
Note: This script requires the requests module to be installed. You can install this with pip install requests and pip3 install requests (for Python and Python3).
If you'd like to make this sync happen on a schedule, then setting a scheduled task or cron job to run the python script will achieve this. A handy utility for managing this kind of thing is Chronos.
