Chapter API error

When I browse other folders, my music folders show up too.

Here are my music folders, showing as expected  @TeamB

Now if I browse my Films folder, the films are showing, but the music is too

Same with TV shows

yeah it looks like something is very screwed up with this now, everything is merging.

I will have a look and see what I can find.

@LukeAny idea why MusicAlbums has a parentID of zero (server version 4.8.11.0)

and why they would be returning in an 
 

InternalItemsQuery query = new InternalItemsQuery();
query.ParentIds = new long[] { request.parent };
BaseItem[] results = _libraryManager.GetItemList(query);

Music albums are not part of the folder structure. They're virtualized containers built using metadata. What are you trying to do?

But why dont they have any ParentID? Their parent ID is 0 (zero).

The root cause of the issue I am seeing is the above query returns all the items with a ParentId of 0 (zero) even if I specify a filter of ParentIDs = X

so for example:

query.ParentIds = new long[] { 463 };

Which is a library of Movies, all Movies in that libray BUT also all the Albums from everywhere also get returned. Basically anything with a ParentId of 463 and also with a ParentId of 0 are returned.

@Luke So if Albums don't have a parent then how do I use:

query.ParentIds = new long[] { request.parent };

to limit just albums from a particular library?

[Luke 42077]

Try setting query.IncludeItemTypes = MusicAlbum and Recursive=true

Unless you are doing generic folder browsing, then just about all queries should have Recursive=true attached.

I did try that.

The problem I have is that all MusicAlbum for ALL libraries are returned not just the library I set as the query.ParentIds

Anyway for now I have run out of time and am just removing MusicAlbum as a supported type.

Just checked, now I can browse films and tv shows correctly, which are the only things I need to see and edit using Chapter API.

Thank you
