How to transform library part url into object url?

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I’d like to take the <MediaContainer><Video><Media><Part key="/library/parts/4514/1537189823/file.mkv"> (or any id from that XML) and transform that into an object URL more like this.

http://192.168.1.1:32469/object/1c81d55df711492f76aa/file.mkv

I can play the file from the /library/parts url, but it doesn’t show up as playing in plexweb status.

I’ve seen mention of ObjectFromURL calls, but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m looking for. Or if it is a method that I can call via a URL into the plex server. My program is not a plugin and doesn’t have direct API access.

Thanks.

PMS doesn’t track playback based on accessing the file. You need to send back to PMS the status.
