Media Server "API" and local media ?

[plexam]

Hi,



I’m playing with adding a plugin to ps3 media server to allow upnp/dlna access to Plex media library and by trial and error it is going semi-ok, but got a few questions about the Media Server in Plex.

1. is there any documentation available for the http exposed api ? I can guess most of the urls construction but I were wondering if there were some parameters or “hidden” paths that would be useful for providing
   
   an alternative access to the media center.
   
   
   
2. Any plans on enabling access to local media via the media server ? Right now I only see plugins, itunes, etc. Not the local media files.
   
   If I had that kind of access I would be able to expose all of plex via upnp/dlna and not just the plugins right now.
   
   
   
   Thanks!

Check the attached document, it should give you the information you need.

Yes, absolutely. We have this nearly completed, and it will be a part of the Plex/Nine series.

that pdf looks exactly what I needed ;)

When will Plex/Nine builds become available so I could try it out ?

We don’t typically pre-announce releases, but we should have something for you to check out in the not to distant future.

reading through this and matching up with what I get in return I found that iPhoto returns which when requested returns elements.

Is there any semantic difference between a Directory and Roll's ? (The PDF does not mention only )

note, I know there are some differences - i.e. @label instead of @name, but otherwise ?

Maybe Roll is there to say that the content can be iterated as a 'slideshow' or ?

Another issue, sometime @label is used instead of @title on .

Another question...shouldn't key's be consistently url encoded ?

i.e. I find both "Recently Added" (space not encoded) and "/applications/appstore/featured" (encoding this would cause the /'s become encoded and not work)
