API to get missing episodes.

[sytone 5]

Is there a way to pull missing episodes via a API call? Looking for the show name, season, episode and name of episode.

 

Want to get a list I can pass to my DVR to fill any gaps I have.

Have you considered looking at Reports-Episodes-filter Episodes-Missing episodes

.../Users/<user-id>/Items?Includeitemtypes=Episodes&recursive=true&IsMissing=true

After getting this payload, you may have to ... do more like below

Afterwhich newresult only has missing episodes. Not sure if you still need to do this cleansing anymore or not. Last time I tried you had to.

NewResult = {}
for each item in parse(json.result) {
   if item.locationType = "Virtual"
      NewResult.append(item)
   End if
End for

I've got a similar issue. It seems that we are missing some appName parameter in our headers or in the body. However, providing appName doesn't seem to resolve it. I'm also using powershell. Here is another thread about it:

In postman:

 

GET

http://{serveraddress}/emby/Users/{Userid}/Items?IncludeItemTypes=Episode&recursive=true&IsMissing=true&IsUnaired=false&ParentId={folderid}

 

Header:

- Content-Type -> application/json

- X-Emby-Token -> apikey or token
