How do I get the Metadata Physical Path in c#

[mickle026 400]

I am trying to get the physical path of metadata images.  ie this part below and this part alone.

"C:\Users\User1\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\metadata"

This example has the images stored in the metadata path so this one is easy, but i just want to return the metadata configured path.

 

I have the Guid so I know part of the path, but I want to get the physical location incase the user is using their own.

I looked all over but cannot find this.  I can get all other drives, sizes etc, where the playlists and collections are - but where is this (metadata configured path)?

If you're trying to find the path to an image, I think you're overcomplicating things

 

You can do something like this and it'll return the path depending on the image type:

BaseItem.GetImagePath(ImageType.Primary)

No, I can get the images assigned to an item as shown above, I want to get the metadata path thats configured on the server.

 

but thanks anyway.

Try IServerConfigurationManager.Configuration.MetadataPath, that should work...

private readonly IServerConfigurationManager configurationManager;

var metapath = configurationManager.Configuration.MetadataPath;

Thank You Thank You :)

Thank you.  It returns an empty path if its in its original location, ie "" otherwise it returns the user configured path. 

 

Trying to figure it out from swagger is a nightmare.  Its SystemInfo {"InternalMetadataPath"} in that. configurationManager.Configuration. also gives me the cache path which will be handy later

 

Thank you
