C# Refresh/Fetch metadata for a BaseItem

[pünktchen 1258]

If i have a BaseItem that only has a ProviderId, how can i refresh all other missing metadata,
what's the method that i have to use here?

I would just call item.RefreshMetadata. When you construct your MetadataRefreshOptions, set the MetadataRefreshMode to FullRefresh.

Sorry for the noob question, but how can i initialize a new MetadataRefreshOptions object?
It would be easy with something like var options = new LibraryOptions() when there' s no need for an argument like here:

public class LibraryOptions
{
    public LibraryOptions();
}

but for MetadataRefreshOptions i don't how to do that, because the needed argument is also the object i want to initialize:

public class MetadataRefreshOptions : ImageRefreshOptions
{
    public MetadataRefreshOptions(MetadataRefreshOptions copy);
}

And i connot find any existing method that would return MetadataRefreshOptions.

The solution for MetadataRefreshOptions is to add IFileSystem to the plugin constructor:

public class ServerEntryPoint : IServerEntryPoint
{
    public static ServerEntryPoint Instance { get; private set; }

    public IFileSystem FileSystem;

    public ServerEntryPoint(IFileSystem fileSystem)
    {
        Instance = this;
        FileSystem = fileSystem;
    }
}

and then add that whole FileSystem as argument to initialize new MetadataRefreshOptions:

var options = new MetadataRefreshOptions(ServerEntryPoint.Instance.FileSystem)
