Latest Episode (not user defined and "UnPlayed" doesn't matter)

[chef 3808]

In my plugin I need to get the Latest Episode added to the library for a Series.

 

Weather it's been played by a user or not. (Strange I know...)

 

Is there an easy way, I might be missing,  to get it without using Date Created, with the InternalItemQuery?

 

 

 

Thanks guys, it's holding me up, and I'm confused... again.

What have you tried?

This is what I've just come up with.

Not completely tested yet.

                       logger.Info("TV TITLE " + " Big Bang Theory");

                        var result = libraryManager.GetItemIds(new InternalItemsQuery
                        {
                            Name = " Big Bang Theory",
                            IncludeItemTypes = new[] { "Series" },

                        });

                        if (!result.Any())
                        {
                            logger.Info("Inital search for " + " Big Bang Theory" + " had no results.");
                            logger.Info("Starting result search for closest comparison: " + "Big Bang Theory");
                            result = libraryManager.GetItemIds(new InternalItemsQuery
                            {
                                NameContains = "Big Bang Theory"
                                IncludeItemTypes = new[] { "Series" },

                            });
                        }

                        // Hard coding User Name for now until it works.
                        var episodes = new MediaBrowser.Model.Querying.LatestItemsQuery
                            {
                                UserId = userManager.GetUserByName("Admin").Id,
                                IncludeItemTypes = new [] {"Episodes"},
                                ParentId = result.FirstOrDefault().ToString()
                            };

                        // Client is the IApiClient Interface object
                        var test = Client.GetLatestItems(episodes);
                        
                        var thisShouldBeTheItemIWant = libraryManager.GetItemById(test.Result.FirstOrDefault().Id);

This might work. I haven't used the IApiClient object in a plugin before. Plus it becomes user defined once the Recent items are requested.

Ah....

In the first query why do you have the leading space?

Not on purpose. I had cut and pasted the series name throughout the code for testing.

 

It originally had been a variable string which is passed into the function.

once you have the series object, try calling GetEpisodes()
