LibraryManager AddVirtualFolder

[bakes82 89]

Error:

Task AddVirtualFolder(
      string name,
      ReadOnlyMemory<char> collectionType,
      LibraryOptions options,
      bool refreshLibrary);

 

System.MissingMethodException: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Threading.Tasks.Task MediaBrowser.Controller.Library.ILibraryManager.AddVirtualFolder(System.String, System.ReadOnlyMemory`1<Char>, MediaBrowser.Model.Configuration.LibraryOptions, Boolean)'.

 

Is this method suppose to tie to the image below?  Whats the collectiontype?

Please attach the emby server log. But really I would just use the web interface to configure your libraries because this was endpoint was not meant to be used ad-hoc and therefore hasn't been tested that way.

[bakes82 89]

Whats the point of the API then?  How do I automate making a library/collection from a list?  I did attach the server log error, its the method not found.

 

[Luke 37001]

Adding and removing libraries is a less frequently used function, so that's the only reason I said that. If you really want to do this then I would suggest monitoring what the web app does using the Chrome debugger and then mimic it.

Why would I monitor the chrome api?  Isnt the api layer suppose to do all this for me, why should I reinvent the rest calls in c#?  Whats the process to create a channel/collection from the c# plugin api?

Because swagger can tell you the params, but over time newer endpoints or params might be added that are intended to be used instead, or sometimes there are different combinations of params depending on circumstances.

Anyway you don't use the web api from a plugin, you use the internal plugin api's. 

If you'd like to create a Channel, these are all examples you can look at:

I dont know what a channel is, or a collection or a playlist.  What makes a channel unique?  Can I have 1 method that makes 40 channels?  How is it dynamic.   I looked at the one by Chef for new requests but everything seems static,  If on the UI I want them to make N channels is that possible?   Or is a collection better?   Basically I want something that shows on the main screen like "Movies"

I can see that my code is working for retreiving the list data from trakt and the matching works, I just  need the "right" way to make a new grouping so I can make it appear.

Is the content also in your emby library?

Yes, I want the 45 matched items to now appear in a group called "Horror Movies".
