Implement custom ItemResolver

[jelum 17]

Hi,

I want to fill provider id for Movie type based on file name. As I understand, I can do this only inheriting ItemResolver<T> type. I played a little bit with this class and have a several questions:

• How I can detect filename of the new added file? ItemResolveArgs's args points on library folder, args.GetFileSystemChildren() return all files in library
• Since I want to fill only provider id, what additional data I have to fill to make a valid return object?
• What object I have to return from the Resolve method - null or valid Movie object?

Thanks in advance for help

Hi.  The provider ID is just metadata so you would want a metadata provider, not an item resolver.

Thanks for the reply.

You mean LocalMetadataProvider? Check this direction?
