The title says it all.  I have "Type: "Episode" item data and I'd like to know the complete video file path.  Is this possible?

Hi, have you checked item.Path?

In my comments I have a old result of item.Path, but I'm not getting it now.  Also, it was only a path to the show, not an episode file, like *.mkv.

What kind of item is it, where does it come from?

You could try the "Metadata Explorer" plugin to see which data exists in Emby's DataBase

I can't find it in the catalog so I'll assume it requires beta.  I went to downloads page and there was no option for beta.  Where can I download beta?

//Get The Items in your library.

BaseItem[] _itemsList;
int _itemsCount;
private async Task GetItemIdInEmbyLibraries()
{
			try
            {
                Log.Info("Getting Folder(s) Items");

                var queryList = new InternalItemsQuery
                {
                    Recursive = true,
                    IncludeItemTypes = new[] {nameof(Episode)},
                    MediaTypes = new[] { "Video" },
                    IsVirtualItem = false,
                };

                _itemsList = LibraryManager.GetItemList(queryList);
                _itemsCount = _itemsList.Length;
                Log.Info("Total No. of items in Library {0}", _itemsCount.ToString());
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Log.Error("No Lib Items Found in Library");
                Log.Error(ex.ToString());
            }
}

 

Then you can do what you want with the _itemsList 


foreach (var item in _itemsList)
{
  try
  {
         
    var stopWatch = new Stopwatch();
    stopWatch.Start();

          Log.Info("PROCESSING OF  " + item.Name + "  HAS STARTED");
          Log.Info("Item FilePath = {0} ", item.Path.ToString());
    	  Log.Info("Item Containing Folder = {0} ", item.ContainingFolderPath.ToString());
          //Do what you need here,
    	  // you can use item.Path or item.ContainingFolderPath
		  //you can also use Emby's IFileSystem and use GetFileNameWithoutExtension if you need to
    
          Log.Info("PROCESSING OF {0} HAS COMPLETED", item.Name);
    
          _totalProgress++;
          double dprogress = 100 * (_totalProgress / _totalItems);
          progress.Report(dprogress);

          stopWatch.Stop();
          Log.Debug("Processing for {0} and took {1} milliseconds", item.Name,
                    (stopWatch.ElapsedMilliseconds).ToString());        
      }
  catch(Exception ex)
  {
    Log.Error("Error Processing Episode" + ex.ToString());
  }
}

Thanks @Cheesegeezer.  It appears that is C++ in some kind of emby plugin environment, correct?   I'm using the web-based API so I can't really take advantage of your code.  I hope you didn't take the trouble to write any code just for me.  🙂

No worries,   I didn't write it specially, it's used a lot on my plugins.

Can you not take advantage of the ApiClient in your Javascript and call this into a variable. 

async function getEpisodes() {
            return await ApiClient.getJSON(ApiClient.getUrl(
                'Items?ExcludeLocationTypes=Virtual&Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=Episode));
        }

I don't know any way to do this in the web api but it may be possible.  Is there a way to view the code for getUrl?  I have to walk my way through the various level of database items.  As I said in my first post I can get a record containg "type":"episode" but that record doesn't have any URL.

Ahhhh right, so you are literally just plugging in a call in the address bar of a browser to get information?

So are you scripting? or are you building an application or what?

Yes, from a web app.  The JS in the web page makes a call like "http://<hostname>:8096/emby/Users/894c752d448f45a3a1260ccaabd0adff/Items/?ParentId=&X-Emby-Token=<secret>".  This can be put into a browser web address for testing.  This is the result of using that URL in the browser (using the code function in this post removed the indents pasting). 

{
    "item": {
        "Name": "Episode 6",
        "ServerId": "ae3349983dbe45d9aa1d317a7753483e",
        "Id": "4693966",

        },
        "SeriesName": "Chloe",

    }
}

Note that the url doesn't have "Fields=" param so all fields are returned.  I would like the Path field to appear but it doesn't.

All the fields are not returned. You need to specify what you need in the request.  I started making a Web Client and i had to add overview, communityRating, etc in order to return that info to display. 
 

have you actually done a

console.log(“EpisodeInfo: “, episodeVariable);

to see what is returned? 
 

ill dig out my code for you from it. Out at the moment. So will be a wee while

ok so here's what i used to get item path in the variable.  This is what i used for what i needed you can remove what you need 

192.168.0.117:8096/emby/Users/{userId}/Items/Latest?Limit={itemLimit}&ParentId={folderId}&Fields=Taglines%2CBudget%2CCommunityRating%2COverview%2CMediaStreams&api_key={AuthToken};

But essentially what you are looking for is the container that holds MediaSources in... this will give you your video path, etc

Thank you , thank you.  That is exactly what I need.  I'm curious how you found out about the MediaSources field.  Just curious, don't go to any trouble.

i use it a lot in the c# plugins.  And by creating UI's i always need to get the mediastreams because they contain codec information which needs to be displayed. And ultimately base transcode decisions on the device against the codec info.
