C# equivalent of REST API postSessionsPlayingStopped

[pünktchen 1409]

What is the c# equivalent of the REST API endpoint "/Sessions/Playing/Stopped", if i only have the ItemId, MediaSourceId and PlaySessionId, but no SessionId? The REST API endpoint works without a SessionId.

I had actually tried to look it up on the same day you posted, expecting that I could just let you know which steps the server is taking when responding to REST request, but it turned out that there's no easy answer, unfortunately.

The REST API might not need a SessionId - but it still has something that a plugin doesn't have: An authorization through the token header. I haven't followed all the way through, but the  rough picture is this: The request is received, code path goes somewhere deep into auth and session stuff and when it returns, it "magically" has all the information that is needed.. (a Sessionxxxx object).

Maybe @Lukecan explain better.. (that' s why I didn't respond)

Thanks for your research @softworkzI've already expected something like that

What is the context from which this is being called? If it's called from an api service, then I can help you get the session info in the same way that our endpoint does.

But if it's called from something that is entirely in the background, then your code will need to know that info.

The playback session is created with an api key.

Since those api_keys are not associated with a user, this is currently not supported. It's on the todo list though, that when you create an api_key, to pick the user to associate it with.
