Changes in getting all children of a parent (albums of artist)

[xsteadfastx 0]

i discovered lately, while working on my mopidy_emby plugin that i cant recieve the albums of a artist id.

first i search something

GET /Search/Hints?SearchTerm=american+football&IncludeItemTypes=Audio%2CMusicAlbum%2CMusicArtist&format=json

this returns

{u'TotalRecordCount': 5, u'SearchHints': [{u'ItemId': u'0db6395ab76b6edbaba3a51ef23d0aa3', u'PrimaryImageTag': u'febb660caab98738b45da98d4afd6abd', u'Name': u'American Football', u'AlbumArtist': u'American Football', u'ProductionYear': 2016, u'RunTimeTicks': 22784800768, u'Artists': [u'American Football'], u'PrimaryImageAspectRatio': 1, u'Type': u'MusicAlbum', u'MatchedTerm': u'american football'}, {u'ItemId': u'6e4a2da7df0502650bb9b091312c3dbf', u'PrimaryImageTag': u'6f9aa56dde788f4413cd23d18aea93b6', u'Name': u'American Football', u'AlbumArtist': u'American Football', u'ProductionYear': 1999, u'RunTimeTicks': 49715720192, u'Artists': [u'American Football'], u'PrimaryImageAspectRatio': 1, u'Type': u'MusicAlbum', u'MatchedTerm': u'american football'}, {u'ItemId': u'ca498ea939b28593744c051d9f5e74ed', u'PrimaryImageTag': u'c71656b885cf71c7a7553dad7ec342d2', u'Name': u'American Football', u'AlbumArtist': u'American Football', u'ProductionYear': 1998, u'RunTimeTicks': 6930019840, u'Artists': [u'American Football'], u'PrimaryImageAspectRatio': 1, u'Type': u'MusicAlbum', u'MatchedTerm': u'american football'}, {u'ItemId': u'10f14ffd44edf17a1b14f7f11007653d', u'PrimaryImageTag': u'e9c9bd1eea962d7a65e144b7f35d0e15', u'Name': u'American Football', u'BackdropImageItemId': u'10f14ffd44edf17a1b14f7f11007653d', u'BackdropImageTag': u'dda7a700a21d379156d2d40dfdca824f', u'RunTimeTicks': 0, u'Type': u'MusicArtist', u'MatchedTerm': u'american football'}, {u'ItemId': u'660a781f43cb4c74e7e296142209d78a', u'Album': u'Between Order and Model', u'IndexNumber': 4, u'Name': u'The Art of American Football', u'DisplayMediaType': u'Audio', u'MediaType': u'Audio', u'AlbumArtist': u'Funeral for a Friend', u'ProductionYear': 2002, u'RunTimeTicks': 1436500000, u'Artists': [u'Funeral for a Friend'], u'Type': u'Audio', u'ParentIndexNumber': 1, u'MatchedTerm': u'american football'}]}

and if i do a:

GET /Users/2ec276a254a19b612b9418a8bd3b/Items?format=json&SortOrder=Ascending&ParentId=10f14ffd44edf17a1b14f7f11007653d

this returns:

{u'Items': [], u'TotalRecordCount': 0}

usually it returns all albums by the artist... i checked it with 5 arrists. right now swagger seems not to work and i cant try things out easily. did something change on the ParentId parameter for artists?

 

this worked a few versions ago... i cant exactly say from what version on it didnt worked anymore cause i just discovered the problem.

 

if i do a

GET /Users/2ec276a2642e54a19b612b9418a8bd3b/Items/10f14ffd44edf17a1b14f7f11007653d

i get

{u'Genres': [u'Indie Rock', u'Emo'], u'CanDelete': False, u'LocationType': u'FileSystem', u'CanDownload': False, u'ExternalUrls': [{u'Url': u'https://musicbrainz.org/artist/4ebb5ad3-9018-407d-8c24-c03011ab9ac6', u'Name': u'MusicBrainz'}], u'Etag': u'e5c71e2f73ec08bfa11fb8c5c61637cf', u'ScreenshotImageTags': [], u'RemoteTrailers': [], u'ServerId': u'1efa5077976bfa92bc71652404f646ec', u'Type': u'MusicArtist', u'SortName': u'american football', u'MusicVideoCount': 0, u'PlayAccess': u'Full', u'Tags': [], u'LockedFields': [], u'ProviderIds': {u'MusicBrainzArtist': u'4ebb5ad3-9018-407d-8c24-c03011ab9ac6'}, u'DisplayPreferencesId': u'184fdd0115d1192d2c763ca9df5e4ccc', u'Path': u'/config/metadata/artists/American Football', u'BackdropImageTags': [u'dda7a700a21d379156d2d40dfdca824f'], u'Name': u'American Football', u'AlbumCount': 3, u'SongCount': 31, u'LockData': False, u'Taglines': [], u'ChildCount': 34, u'UserData': {u'PlayCount': 0, u'Key': u'Artist-Musicbrainz-4ebb5ad3-9018-407d-8c24-c03011ab9ac6', u'PlaybackPositionTicks': 0, u'IsFavorite': False, u'Played': False}, u'Studios': [], u'People': [], u'DateCreated': u'2017-02-11T20:02:43.5946280Z', u'ImageTags': {u'Logo': u'3e0c8a437c1ec17b5ed496d3825a74aa', u'Primary': u'e9c9bd1eea962d7a65e144b7f35d0e15'}, u'RunTimeTicks': 0, u'Keywords': [], u'SupportsSync': True, u'Id': u'10f14ffd44edf17a1b14f7f11007653d'}

if i would get the songs from SongCount would be nice too.

Use ArtistIds instead of ParentId.

did something change on the ParentId behaviour?

ParentId is an optional field, so you need to also add &Fields=ParentId

to what api endpoint? i banged my head for hours on the wall... i cant get tracks or albums with the artist id no more.

[xsteadfastx 0]

maybe i should explain more what i want to do. i use the search to find a a artist

"GET /Search/Hints?SearchTerm=jawbreaker&IncludeItemTypes=Audio%2CMusicAlbum%2CMusicArtist&format=json

i get this back

  {u'TotalRecordCount': 2, u'SearchHints': [{u'ItemId': u'065b5f244bddeee91c740ab9e8bc098b', u'Album': u'Sea of Cowards', u'IndexNumber': 10, u'Name': u'Jawbreaker', u'DisplayMediaType': u'Audio', u'MediaType': u'Audio', u'AlbumArtist': u'The Dead Weather', u'ProductionYear': 2010, u'RunTimeTicks': 1780770000, u'Artists': [u'The Dead Weather'], u'Type': u'Audio', u'ParentIndexNumber': 1, u'MatchedTerm': u'jawbreaker'}, {u'ItemId': u'c35d160230ff74e5cab4d22ea6b37b82', u'PrimaryImageTag': u'077591081a378a8b9d21a32db0eb0a58', u'Name': u'Jawbreaker', u'RunTimeTicks': 0, u'Type': u'MusicArtist', u'MatchedTerm': u'jawbreaker'}]}

it used to work that i take the ItemId 'c35d160230ff74e5cab4d22ea6b37b82' and do this

GET /Users/2ec276a2642e54a19b612b9418a8bd3b/Items?format=json&SortOrder=Ascending&ParentId=c35d160230ff74e5cab4d22ea6b37b82

this gave me the albums back. but now its a

  {u'Items': [], u'TotalRecordCount': 0}

im sure its a little thing that broke my application. that ItemId doesnt seem to be like the ArtistId.

[ebr 15674]

And you tried changing your second query to this?

GET /Users/2ec276a2642e54a19b612b9418a8bd3b/Items?format=json&SortOrder=Ascending&ArtistIds=c35d160230ff74e5cab4d22ea6b37b82&Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=MusicAlbum

im sorry for late answer. im in hospital right now... i will check that out if i can get my hands on my sourcecode.

[ebr 15674]

Get better soon!

this works great. now im thinking about rewriting my mopidy plugin with just using the /Users/Items endpoint
