need some help with using iLibraryManager in a plugin

[HomerS 8]

Hi,

 

Im trying to write a plugin that will alert me / take action on any missing episodes but I can't really figure out how to query.

 

the goal is to get a list of missing episodes only , would that be possible ? 

 

the idea is to have this running as a scheduled task.

This could be done more easily with the API and an external program/script of some sort as it would be a simple query against your TV library with filters for item type of Episode and a filter of IsMissing.

You might be right  but I like the ability to have config within the server gui.

 

 

I managed to come up with this code:

            // Get a list of all series
            var episodeList = _libraryManager.GetItemList(new InternalItemsQuery()
            {
                IncludeItemTypes = new[] { typeof(Episode).Name },
                Recursive = true,
                GroupByPresentationUniqueKey = false


            }).Cast<Episode>().ToList();


            //Filter out the missing Episode
            var missingEpisodeList = episodeList.Where(item => item.IsMissingEpisode == true).ToList();

This gives me a list with episodes but something's not right as all (8) in my test are missing the name of the series, 

I have no problem extracting AiredSeasonNumber and AbsoluteEpisodeNumber but SeriesName and FindSeriesName() returns empty string so there must be a better way ?

 

 

What are the criteria for IsMissingEpisode ?

 

 I was expecting a list of episodes that have been aired but missing in the series I have in my library but that doesn't seem to be the case ?

 

 

 

 

I also plan to to used the build in task scheduler if I can figure out how.
