BaseItem from ILibraryManager is missing properties

[pünktchen 1350]

Hi @Luke, you already know about my current project and i need your help with it.

What's the best way to query Emby for live tv programs from within a .NET plugin?

Right now i'm using "ILibraryManager" with "GetItemList" and i can filter for all programs for a live tv channel,

but the returned "BaseItems" are missing some properties from "ProgramInfo": "StartDate", "HomePageUrl" and "ShowId"

Well start date should definitely be there. Homepageurl is not used at the moment.

Well start date should definitely be there.

Unfortunately it's not. But that's one of the more important properties for me.

 

 

Homepageurl is not used at the moment.

I know it's not used in any app, that's why i wanted to abuse it to store some other things.

How are you querying?

[pünktchen 1350]

var channelItems = _libraryManager.GetItemList(new InternalItemsQuery
{
    ExternalId = channelId //live tv channel id
});

var programItems = _libraryManager.GetItemList(new InternalItemsQuery
{
    IsVirtualItem = true,
    ParentIds = new[] { channelItems[0].InternalId },
    MinEndDate = DateTimeOffset.Now.ToUniversalTime(),
});

_libraryManager implements the ILibraryManager interface.

Try adding program using includeitemtypes.

This is what i've found out:

If i query ILibraryManager i get a BaseItem with ExternalId but no StartDate.

If i query ILiveTvManager i get a BaseItemDto with StartDate but no ExternalId.

 

I'm moving around in circles somehow.
