onny 0 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hey, is it possible to query an item by searching for the file path or file name? Thank you and best regards, Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36888 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi, no, but it's a good idea to add this. We can add Path for the next release, since that's something we currently keep in the database. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36888 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Hi, looks like a Path param is already present. Granted I think this might difficult on the query string, but give it a shot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I've been trying to get this Path parameter to work either with a partial path or a full path including the filename but can't get it to work (returns 0 items). Here's a sample of what I'm trying: http://myserver:8096/Items?Recursive=true&Fields=Path&Path=%5C%5Cmyserver%5Cmyshare%5CVideo%5Cmyshow.avi Is this parameter functional? Do I need to specify another parameter to get it to work? Ultimately I'd like to specify a partial path in order to get all items inside a directory (recursively).

Luke 36888 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It needs to be the full path and it needs to match the path that emby server has for it, so partials will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) You can do this as a two stage process add your path to the path search i used "e:\serverfolders\multimedia\movies" dont add a trailing slash as it will then fail or something longer like "e:\serverfolders\multimedia\movies\Alien" the above path is the root of my movies library - just an example the returned json has the ID of my Movies directory take this ID and clear out the path you put in earlier then put the id number in parentID , make recursive to true, put includeitemtype to movie(or whatever you need) and add "path" to the fields box you will get a list of all movies with the parent ID and the full path to each file etc not elegant - but works from swagger "http://192.168.1.80:8096/emby/Items?Recursive=true&ParentId=6&IncludeItemTypes=movie&api_key=0c66fd28d42d4e6a82aa885500e29348" Edited April 4, 2020 by PenkethBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 It needs to be the full path and it needs to match the path that emby server has for it, so partials will not work. My example is a full path, which I tried both URI encoded and as plain text. Didn't work either way. You can do this as a two stage process add your path to the path search i used "e:\serverfolders\multimedia\movies" dont add a trailing slash as it will then fail or something longer like "e:\serverfolders\multimedia\movies\Alien" What is the "path search"? take this ID and clear out the path you put in earlier then put the id number in parentID , make recursive to true, put includeitemtype to movie(or whatever you need) and add "path" to the fields box Yeah, if I grab an ID from a folder URL when I browse to it in my browser, I can use it as you suggest. Thanks for that tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 path search is the option to search by "path" in swagger if used alone it returns very basic info on the last folder in the path provided - which includes the ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have been looking at swagger but you and I must be doing it differently, which is why I asked. I'm doing "/Items?Path=" and it doesn't matter whether I use the local path, UNC path, or either of those paths URI encoded. No matter what I try I get "Unable to find the specified file."

PenkethBoy 2063 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 yes same endpoint and it does work gives Dont understand why you are going via a path get the library id, then get the media , compare path you are looking for with individual item path or part of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShanMan 34 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hmm... looks the same to me. Wonder why it fails for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Guy 0 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) Sorry to bring this back, but I have a question.... When I load my emby web interface and search a title and its found, it does not show its path, so I have no idea which folder its in, which "menu" its in... can I show this somehow? the path of where the video was found? I have several "menus" in my emby server (movies / old movies / tv / full res / atmos / anime) just as examples. So I search for "First Contact" which I know I have, but not sure which folder its in, on the web interface I can find it and play it, but still dont know where it is to navigate to it in my mce interface. Is what I want possible? Edited April 17, 2022 by Phone Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36888 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Hi, you'd have to click on it in search results and then you can see the path, since it's not displayed on the search results screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
