MultiVersion - Episodes and Media Sources/Streams

[PenkethBoy 2068]

With the new Multiversion Episodes if you query for All Episodes and included Media Streams in the query it will only return one media source/stream instead of two (or more) for a MultiVersion Episode

 

Doing the same thing for Movies with Multiversion Movies returns two (or more) Media sources/Streams for each Multiversion Movie as it has done for ages.

 

The MultiVersion episodes show in Emby fine - with the drop down choice etc

Ah! Adding MediaSourceCount to the Fields= part of the query appears to kick it into life to get more than one Media source/Stream returned - is this by design?

 

You dont actually get a MediaSourceCount value in the json returned????

 

you still need to provide the MediaStreams field as well - for anybody else reading this

This is no longer intended or optimal behavior. The media streams info is not something that is intended to be pulled down as part of a list as it will be slower.

[PenkethBoy 2068]

Slower than what exactly - it works fine - you are just making things harder for people to use Emby the way they want - how its worked up till now etc

 

Its almost as if you dont want people using the API

What I'm saying is, some optional fields are not really intended for bulk retrieval. Of course you're going to do what you're going to do, it's just so that you're aware.
