Note: The current url's work fine and forward to the new one. You can switch over on your own timeframe.

 

The new url's allow quite a bit more information to be reported, including the PlayMethod for display in the dasboard (e.g. DirectPlay, DirectStream, Transcode, etc). You can also what report what audio track and what subtitle tracks are playing.

 

It also allows you to report that the user is playing something that is not a server library item, in order to allow that to be remote controlled.

It also documents how to check-in over the web socket, which is strongly preferred for those of you who are web socket connected.

I assume this will just happen with an update of the ApiClient?

Trying to implement these but it isn't reporting my play method in the dash that I'm providing.

 

There is a warning in the log that the method was called with "no media info".  I'm not extracting multiple media sources so I have no Media Source ID.  Is this the problem?

Okay, I had to change the progress report over as well.  I think the old URL was usurping the new stuff on the progress report.

These new endpoints aren't in the released server, are they...?

yea they are

Okay, good.  By my calculations when you first posted this (May 8) would have been version 5240.  I guess you got them in before you told us about them.

yea i did for a while until i was comfortable with them.

 

by the way, hopefully it's not too late, but there are model objects for these requests - PlaybackStartInfo, etc

This is going to show I haven't been paying attention :) 

 

In the PlaybackStopInfo model object. Where do we acquire the SessionId?

You don't need it. Your existing authorization is sufficient.
