Request Movies AND Episodes from "Items/Latest" (not working)

[VernoxVernax 4]

When I request:

/Users/[Id}/Items/Latest?IncludeItemTypes=Episode,Movie

I only get the latest movies from the library but not any episodes.

When I remove "Movie", the whole thing takes a turn and I only get "Series" objects. (I don't mind that it's not actually episodes).

Is this a bug, or am I once again misunderstanding the api documentation, which btw disappeared from my emby dashboard footer.

are you running this on the web? Or a script?

if on web, check your console and see if any errors occur.

also i think you need to set recursive to yes in your api call

Thank you for the reply.

The recursive options doesn't change anything as well.

Note that "IncludeItemTypes=Series" returns "[]".

Yeah I just been having a play. And agree, it's not returning Episodes at all

I can get series, let me check Iridium code for getting the latest Episodes on that

So i'm actually using this as the request in Iridium to get the latest items, this is specific to a root Library.

Base Url

const url = `${serverAddress}/emby/Users/${userId}/${request}&api_key=${authToken}`;

Request

const recentItemsRequest = `Items/Latest?Limit=20&ParentId=${folderId}&Fields=Taglines%2CCommunityRating%2COverview%2CMediaStreams`;

I've just noticed that I can see any latest episodes on web as well.

Anyways, so you're telling me "Latest" did at one point in time include episodes as well, or are you sending multiple request for both movie and series?

I just checked that also and got the same results. Yes used to have episodes at one point

Actually I stand corrected, it only shows the series, i checked back at some old images and even back then i only got the Series.

But yeah you should just retrieve the latest for each Library, and then you could add them together after that, that API looks like it only returns the first ItemType.

This was from a post back on the June, 26.  so looks like it's always been that way

Ok, thank you for debugging!!
