Theme Media Api

[BATTLE DONKEY 98]

I probably only have 2 or 3 soundtrack albums but in my opinion playing from a linked soundtrack is a fantastic feature

I'm sure you guys know about the api methods to get theme songs and videos:

 

/Items/{Id}/ThemeSongs?userid=xxx&inheritfromparent=true/false

/Items/{Id}/ThemeVideos?userid=xxx&inheritfromparent=true/false

 

You might not know about the bundle version that will get you both at once:

 

/Items/{Id}/ThemeMedia?userid=xxx&inheritfromparent=true/false

 

This will now include SoundtrackSongsResult.

 

If an item does not have theme videos or theme songs, you could use this to play a random song from it's soundtrack (if the user has mapped them).

That is very cool.

Another enhancement - this can also go the other way now. This is for MBT in mind, but anyone can use it. Albums can now inherit the theme videos/songs from linked movies. So for example, if you're viewing Iron Man 3 in MBT, from the detail screen you can navigate to the linked soundtrack album. The soundtrack will inherit the same theme video which will allow it to keep playing.
