Artist, Genre, Studio + Limit

[speechles 1921]

Suppose you wanted to get a list of tracks from an artist. Suppose the artist has 5,000 songs. How does one limit this, it is acting like limit isnt an option? This also happens on genres and studios for music.

 

For example, here is artist. There is a preference to change the limit. It does not work it appears limit isnt respected in my query. It is woefully abandoned.

url = GetServerBaseUrl() + "/Users/" + HttpEncode(getGlobalVar("user").Id) + "/Items"    limit = FirstOf(RegRead("prefgenrestudio"),"200")    ' Query    query = {        artists: artistName        recursive: "true"        includeitemtypes: "Audio"        fields: "AudioInfo,PrimaryImageAspectRatio,DateCreated,Overview,Genres"        sortby: "SortName"        sortorder: "Ascending",    ImageTypeLimit: "1"    }    if limit <> "0" then query.addreplace("limit", limit)

Here is genre, same issue.

url = GetServerBaseUrl() + "/Users/" + HttpEncode(getGlobalVar("user").Id) + "/Items"    limit = FirstOf(RegRead("prefgenrestudio"),"200")    ' Query    query = {        genres: genre        recursive: "true"        includeitemtypes: "Audio"        fields: "AudioInfo,PrimaryImageAspectRatio,DateCreated,Overview,Genres"        sortby: "SortName"        sortorder: "Ascending",    ImageTypeLimit: "1"    }    if limit <> "0" then query.addreplace("limit", limit)

And finally the studios for music...

url = GetServerBaseUrl() + "/Users/" + HttpEncode(getGlobalVar("user").Id) + "/Items"    limit = FirstOf(RegRead("prefgenrestudio"),"200")    ' Query    query = {        studios: studio        recursive: "true"        includeitemtypes: "Audio"        fields: "AudioInfo,PrimaryImageAspectRatio,DateCreated,Overview,Genres"        sortby: "SortName"        sortorder: "Ascending",    ImageTypeLimit: "1"    }    if limit <> "0" then query.addreplace("limit", limit)

@@Luke is there some reason why these endpoints don't respect limit? Can it be enabled for these pllleeeaassseee... I want to use limit with artists/genres/studios. Thanks

 

It is possible to just accept them all, and cut them down myself to the limit, but the time spent grab all those just to cull them is very painful.

Word. It needs &startindex=0 in addition to limit, indeed noted for the future. Confirmed that does work, thanks.
