Hi all! I'm developing a client for RTI XP Processor. One of the task is media library folder browsing. First, I get top level views by using <'/Users/' + userId + '/Views'> API Next I try to navigate down thru folders using <'/Users/' + userId + '/Items?parentId='+ parentId> API getting parent folder id from currently opened view. On my development installation I get next subfolders of top level Movies: Resume Latest Movies Collections Favorites Genres And it is expected. On client server before it worked the same, but now it is changed to just return flat movies list. Why I get such different behavior and how I can obtain the stable views browsing? My server: Version 3.0.5912.0 Client server: Version 3.0.5913.0 Thanks and regards Alexander Altshuler

Hello, I'm trying to use the Java API to convert M3U playlists into Emby. The API attempts to do this with an HTTP GET, while the API does a POST.

Is there an API to use that allows fanArt from Schedules Direct to be used in LiveTV sections, in similar way to what library items have? Like in this pic https://flic.kr/p/C1dDBg

Added an album today prechecked by picard so all tags were perfect. MB3 submitted an identification query to mbz (as shown in logs) which returns a specific correct result (when i tested it) and yet the album remains unidentified in MB3. More strangley MB3 must have been aware on some level of the correct response as further fetching is performed on the studio and release group in the response...and yet the album remains unidentified in dashboard. Version 3.0.5531.24408 album:we are undone, artist:two gallants the correct query in logs, returnid correct mbz ids 2015-02-26 09:13:17.4155 Info - App: HttpClientManager GET: http://www.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query="We+Are+Undone" AND artist:"" audiodb query on release group id..oddly prior to log of mbz query 2015-02-26 09:06:49.0711 Info - App: HttpClientManager GET: http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/49jhsf8248yfahka89724011/album-mb.php?i=28fcc495-9e80-4095-928d-b997c2f3cbfa refresh of studio oddly prior to log of mbz query 2015-02-26 09:07:28.2779 Debug - App: Running FanartArtistProvider for \\Q6600\Music\Two Gallants 2015-02-26 09:07:29.5395 Debug - App: Running StudiosImageProvider for E:\MediaBrowser\IBN\Studio\ATO Records the full log https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84611964/server-63560507678.txt my uneducated conclusion is that mb3 definitely did search for this album and find it on mbz and yet did not commit this information to database. issues with album identification is not an isolated incident. I have purposefully not manually identified this album..so to test further suggestions. edit interestingly the studio was commited to the album...

Can anyone give me an example how to request json data from the api in a http url?

Version 3.0.5459.41325 I wondered why MB3 could not identify an album correctly. the logs suggests MB3 is not searching MBZ specifically enough 2014-12-13 15:55:28.2005 Info - App: HttpClientManager GET: http://www.musicbrainz.org/ws/2/release/?query="Heroes" AND artist:"" Adding the Album Artist from ffprobe on track1 (is this what mb3 uses for album searches?) into the search, the album is identified and the distinct xml returned.

here is what the url will be /Videos/{Id}/Subtitle/{Index}

Hi Everyone, One thing I have not heard much about is how all these different clients can be controlled remotely. Is there a plan for some level of TCP communication - websockets for instance? Or maybe similar to XBMC with a JSON API?
