chef 3746 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Code Examples are found throughout GitHub, however here is a .Net Version of a Media Browser Http Request Header. If you are a new coder like me then you will thank me. Some of this code is a Visual Basic conversion found in the Media Browser Repository on GitHub. This POST Class will send a command to the Server, it doesn't recieve Information, although you could recieve information back for Error Reporting and Logging purposes. I will save you countless hours of reading code by posting what currently works. Make this class in your application: Imports System.Text Imports Core.Neurosphere.User Imports System.Net Imports System.IO Public Class MediaBrowserHttpClient Public Shared Sub POST(url As String) Try Dim encoding As UTF8Encoding = New UTF8Encoding Dim ByteData As Byte() = encoding.GetBytes(url) Dim header As String = String.Format( "MediaBrowser UserId=""{0}"", Client=""{1}"", Device=""{2}"""", DeviceId=""{3}"", Version=""{4}""", "{YOUR CURRENT USER ID HERE}", "{YOUR CLIENT NAME HERE}", "{YOUR DEVICE NAME HERE}", "{YOUR DEVICE ID HERE}", "{YOUR APPLICATION VERSION HERE}) Dim Request As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest) With Request .Method = "POST" .Headers("Authorization") = (header) .ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" .ContentLength = ByteData.Length End With Dim postRequestStream As Stream = Request.GetRequestStream() With postRequestStream .Write(ByteData, 0, ByteData.Length) .Close() End With Catch Ex As Exception End Try End Sub End Class I made it Shared so you can simply call it by name throughout your Application! Find a Url from the SwaggerUI like "Pause" to pause you media Playback. Example: Try ' :: Request that the Server/Client Application Play the Current Item Dim UrlDataRequest As String = "http://" & "{THE SERVER ADDRESS HERE}" & ":" & "{THE PORT NUMBER HERE}" & "/mediabrowser/Sessions/" & "{THE SESSION ID HERE}" & "/Playing/pause" MediaBrowserHttpClient.POST(UrlDataRequest) Catch ex As Exception End Try It took me forever to figure it out, because I'm new. Hope it saves some trouble for others who are new, and want to wrap their own client interface. In the future there will be apparently other Security information added to the header, but this works now. Save yourself a weekend of reading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
