Hello folks,

&nbsp;

I'm quite new to channel development so this is probably an easy question for you to answer.

&nbsp;

Is there a direct way (via an API) to access the library of the PMS or do I have to make XML request to the API myself?

&nbsp;

If I have to use XML is there anywhere an URL Service available which parses Plex items like&nbsp;[http://localhost:32400/library/metadata/73863](http://localhost:32400/library/metadata/73863)&nbsp;directly to a MovieObject or any other predefined object class?

&nbsp;

Thanks&nbsp;

CCarpo
