3.6 api breaking changes

[Angelblue05 4131]

It's json. The u is just python unicode string indicator. Has no effect on the code.

 

The webapp calls this

$embyServerUrl + "/emby/users/" + $User.User.Id + "/items?Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=Movie" + "&api_key=" + $User.AccessToken

 

That's returns Movies and Boxsets, but boxsets are type Movie with* isFolder is False.

 

If you call 

$embyServerUrl + "/emby/users/" + $User.User.Id + "/items?Recursive=true&IncludeItemTypes=Movie,Boxset" + "&api_key=" + $User.AccessToken

 

No issues. I posted a screenshot in my post, that's not what you see in the webapp?

ar - was running it with both

 

just movie does bring back collections as well as type movie

 

so same now - which is a change in since .38 of beta - as i tested this the other day

with .42

 

Running a query with  &IncludeItemTypes=Movie - still brings back Boxset as well as Movies - although now Boxsets have IsFolder is true and Type is now Boxset

 

Can we have it so it JUST brings back Movies please as it used to

 

Thanks

[Luke 40111]

That will only happen if you've enabled grouping movies into collections

[PenkethBoy 2066]

Ah yes - actually its &CollapseBoxSetItems=False that i forgot on my test script

[Luke 40111]

it's because without specifying it goes by the user settings. What we need to do is only group them when you ask for it. It's on my to do list. 

[Luke 40111]

I've updated the first post about grouping items into collections. The user topic is here:

Thanks.

Can you please a look at this issue please.

 

The problem appears when I try to authenticate me via kodi in a special way.

Do you need more information, or is the log self explanatory?

[Luke 40111]

Don't know what you mean by special way, but update to the latest beta, then compare your auth request to the web client and that should help you find the problem.

[quickmic 1610]

Ok, gave it a shot with the latest beta:

My login approach is as follows...

I'm running emby behind an apache proxy with additional login authentication and using kodi-plugin.

 

To provide apache proxy with the additional credentials, I modify the server URL (in kodi-plugin) as follows:

https://quickmic:AB7cde!12345678@[member="multimedia"].rms-systems.net:443

If I do that, I trigger the issue.

As I workaround I can disable additional authentication on apache proxy, then login and receive my accesstoken.

Once this is done, I can re-enable the auth on proxy and all good.

Everything works well, but this is just a workaround, it should not be there in the first place.

btw, can you please modify the "Expert" -> "Advanced" -> "External Domain" behavior, that it accepts urls with username and password.

like:

quickmic:AB7cde!12345678@[member="multimedia"].rms-systems.net

Edited September 16, 2018 by quickmic

[Luke 40111]

We don't support that at this time. It's always possible for the future, but as of right now, the supported authentication methods can be found on our api wiki:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/User-Authentication

 

Thanks.

[quickmic 1610]

ok np, I stick to the workaround for the moment.

thx

Hi @@Luke

 

sorry another basic question.. I am using the emby.apiclient and am  working through all the variations for collectionfolders. the client returns

 

 

item.Type = "CollectionFolder"

item.CollectionType is null

 

for emby tv recordings it is I guess the library/type is auto created when you add a path like below.

 

 

Is it supposed to work this way? I can check for it, but are there others that will return similar ?

 

It may have always been this way, but I am now just jumping into it to handle the recent changes.

 

Thanks!!

[Luke 40111]

Yes, mixed content libraries will have a null CollectionType.

Seems to be a breaking change in 3.6.0.51 in the usersession json response.

UserId is now a string instead of a long

Going from stable to current beta that is not a breaking change.

Another breaking change with .55. 'MaxResumePct' which is the resume setting set in the server is no longer returned with system info. I also cannot locate this setting server side anymore.

Edited October 13, 2018 by Angelblue05

[Luke 40111]

It's per each library now. Why do you need that?

[Angelblue05 4131]

To know if the add-on should offer to delete content after being considered watched.

[Luke 40111]

To avoid duplicating logic client side, maybe a better way would be to pull down a fresh copy of that item after playback, and see if the server now considers it fully watched.

[Angelblue05 4131]

Yep. No choice to do that now. Thanks

[Luke 40111]

It's really the best way anyway.

[Angelblue05 4131]

Did LocationType become optional in .61? I've tried field LocationType and it's not being returned.

[Luke 40111]

I did change it to only send it back if the value is Virtual. Can you tell me what you are using it for, just so that we can be on the same page about it? Thanks.
