get a list of active sessions

[jleiss 0]

Is there a way with the API code to get a true list of active sessions such as those shown on the dashboard. I've been querying /Sessions but I get a lot more than what's listed in the dashboard.

 

Here is a small snippet

Pretty sure active devices includes anything connected to the server; even those that are just browsing currently.

 

You could filter that list after retrieving it from fhe API, to remove any item where Now Playing = Unknown Media

Try adding IsPlaying=true to your query.

ended up going a bit different route filtered on CanSeek: True and IsPaused: False for active sessions, and IsPaused: True for paused sessions.
