Hi devs.

How to access the detail of an item in the api in which I get a description of the item, currently I make a query but the api does not return that information and not the detail I need is the one in the second image

Hi.  You would want to look at the items endpoints, not playbackinfo.

Look under ItemsService and UsersService.

Emby SDK Documentation: Item Information

https://{emby_host}/emby/Users/{user_id}/Items/{item_id}?api_key={token}

use this api and you will find overview in response

I store the metadata in a .nfo file, and I don't think I can get the overview to show up using this endpoint.

It shows up fine in emby web, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the information using the API.

Yes you can, using that URL he mentioned.

You're right, I forgot to set Recursive=ture and Filters=IsNotFolder. I queried it with those settings and it seems to work fine.
