With C# SDK, how can I check if a BaseItem has Preview/Thumbnail/bif images generated & available for use?

I'm not at my desk right now but there should be something like a item.GetThumbnails

[rechigo]

Could not find any method like that, searched for a lot of key words and did not find anything

 

Is this something I need to get with library manager or another interface?

Is it in ImageService

 

/Items/{Id}/Images/{Type}

 

Type - thumb ?

[rechigo]

No, sorry, I am talking about the geting the BIF images via C# (not via HTTP requests)

 

The bif images are used to display a graphical preview when scrubbing:

Ok,   namespace RokuMetadata.Api,   internal class ThumbnailSetInfo

 

No idea how to use.  So can't help - sorry.

That looks like it's for the old Roku BIF plugin before it was moved into the server core

 

@Luke Update?

There are some static methods on Video, Video.GetThumbnailSetInfos. The api is not super friendly because I wasn't planning for this type of usage, but it can always be adjusted.
