Get all played movies in a specific folder?

[Glueckstiger 2]

Hi,

I have different folders for movies. One for movies I want to keep after watching. One for movies I only want to watch once. 

Is there an easy way to get via API all watched movies within a specific path?

I dont want to get all movies with IsPlayed via /Users/<id>/Items and then check each item via /Users/<id>/Items/<id> -> MediaSources -> Path -> str_starts_with(...)

Hi.  Find the ID of the folder and then use ParentID=xxxx.

Ok, but ParentId is in /Users/<id>/Items/<id>, too. And I want to avoid retrieving the item information for all my movies over and over and over again. I have many movies that I want to keep, and I don't want to search all the movies for the one I've seen recently and then delete that one.

 

[EDIT] Ok, there is a ParentId under /Users/<id>/Items too. Nice

Is there a way to get the ParentId via API and not via the URL in a browser?

You'll have to use the API.

And which route can I use to get the ParentId for different locations?

Have you looked at LibraryService?

Yes, but I overlooked /Library/SelectableMediaFolders. Until just now.

That's for library setup. I would use the userviews API.

Thats not what I need.

I need the Id of the subfolders:
