More like this....

[LongMan 112]

How can I get access to the more like this  item list in kodi. Is this something that could be provided as a context menu item?

[quickmic 1703]

I assume I cold integrate that in the dynamic nodes, I put it on the list.

[LongMan 112]

Isn't it specific to a specfic media item? That is why I suggest context menu for the current item.

 

[quickmic 1703]

Probably yes, I need to look into.

I cannot find the api for the "more like this". Is it just a node and if so, can you please post on which criteria the nodes selects the suggestions so I can build it on Kodi?

With a movie or series, Try /items/id/similar

From there the usual params that you're used to.

OK can you try comparing your request to what the web app sends on the movie detail screen?

Good idea, didn't thought about that.

The "UserId" as param seems mandatory.

You might update the docu -> https://dev.emby.media/reference/RestAPI/LibraryService/getItemsByIdSimilar.html?q=similar

http://192.168.0.207/emby/Items/75092/similar?api_key=XXXXX&UserId=e1f4f9fe335c47ae8524d0d7de19e9ab
