API to find and select an item in list

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I would like to remote (HTTP or otherwise) control the plex OSX/Windows clients, to locate and select an item by its name, in the movie/tv list.

 

I can see how I can move the selection up and down, but I want to jump the selection directly to a specific item - this would require locating an id for the item (either an index or a key of some kind) by querying Plex (or loading a list and performing the query myself) - then commanding plex to move the selection to that specific item.

 

How do I achieve this? I cannot see a command in the HTTP api that would allow me to do this.

 

Additionally - I cannot see anything in the Plex API that lets me read UI information, such as the currently selected item... any ideas?

 

 

Thanks guys,

 

Adam
