Hi,
For the pleXBMC plugin I’m trying to use the media flags from PMS - seeing as XBMC doesn’t implement these for addons and the PMS data makes it easy to request…
Or at least it should do.
I’m trying http://localhost:32400/system/bundle/media/flags/audioCodec/aac and it doesn;t seem to like it. I get a bit more success if I telnet into port 32400 and issue the request myself, but it’s really hit and miss…
Is there a limitation to how media flags can be requested? Is the time flag required?
No one know? I might just stick to statics then to save http request lags, not sure I can load these up in the background.
I having a hard time understanding what you are attempting to do. You can go into the specific section like… localhost:32400/library/sections/1/all and get the media information for each file. Are you trying to get the specific image associated with a media flag? If that the case then that can’t be requested through the api, it’s skin specific.
Yeah, I’m trying to retrieve the flag images that correspond to “Blu-Ray”, “5.1”, “720p”, “1080p”, and studio icons.
I can see how these are requested, where they are stored within the Plex.app/Plex media Server.app bundles, but for some reason I get errors when I try to request them manually. I could just rip them all out, package them up with the skin and use them locally - but using the URL is slight more future proofed…
Hey hippojay, tried adding ?t=0 to my url and got images back......not 100% sure what the ?t=xxxx is for
Cheers - The t value is the UNIX time. Not entirely sure why it’s appended, but I guess it was to allow some requests to be rejected based on age? (perhaps in conjunction with authentication…)
I’d tried t=0 hat, but on subsequent tries it came back with an internal error. I might give it another go though as perhaps it was my over worked server…
Thanks for validating that it does work…
