is there a jellyfin api which I could query to get the state if someone is actively watching or not? (lemmy.world)

The use case is following:

I'd like to turn off my server at night. Sometimes I stop at 12, sometimes at 1 or 2. If I could ask "is someone watching?" And it returns false, I could postpone the shutdown.

The current solution is to always turn off at 2 and turn on at 7.

How do you guys handle the situation?

2W is insane. I wonder how much it actually drains from the wall.

My server idles at 30-35W and turning it off for 6 hours at night (cheaper electricity) would save like 4€ a year. Its cheap here tho

Ok so I did some testing, from the wall it’s about 7 watts idle. I wonder where that extra 5 is coming from, oh well still pretty good!

Sleeping it’s less than 1 watt, so I might see if I can let it sleep at night somehow

Most likely PSU efficiency because they are bad on super low power. Still insane, 7W is nothing

I have a meter I could test with if I wanted, although I’m not sure why iStat would lie
