Emby connect request format

[joggs 24]

Hi,

I am trying to login with emby connect with the API. The documentation is vague, so could the responsible please tell me how you should do this: "X-Application header, formatted as AppName/AppVersion"

 

You cannot add it as 

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Application", "AppName/1.0");

nor in json format

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Application", "{ AppName: blabla, AppVersion: 1.0 }");

 

 

The response I get 

{StatusCode: 400, ReasonPhrase: 'Bad Request', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:

{

Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Range, X-Connect-Token, X-Connect-UserToken, X-Application

Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

Connection: keep-alive

}}"

 

"

Login with username & password

Send a POST to https://connect.emby.media/service/user/authenticate

The content type should be application/json, and here is an example structure:

{ nameOrEmail: username, rawpw: password }

The request headers should contain the following:

• X-Application header, formatted as AppName/AppVersion

Getting 400 with this curl command when changing to my login and pass. 

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Application: FAKEAPPNAME/0.0.1" -X POST -d '{"nameOrEmail":"MYUSERNAME","rawpw":"NOTMYPASSWORD"}' https://connect.emby.media/service/user/authenticate -v

Since you don't already support Emby Connect i would wait. We are soon to announce major changes to the service. Thanks.
