Read XML list

Hi All,

 

first of all i love plex never been happier with any other media content manager.

 

For the moment i'm trying to make a software to be able to cross-check "Plex Media Server" vs "Thetvdb" to see when next episode is comming from all my series.
Thetvdb part is all set up already but i can't find a way to access the "Plex media server" database to get list of all i already have in plex.

 

So if there is anyway to read out the database by SQL command or even better by XML?

 

thank you for your time.
Greetings Listerman.

Absolutely. PMS spits out a lot of XML. You can traverse it. See these as example: 

http://:32400/library/
http://:32400/library/sections/
http://:32400/library/sections//

So for example this is all the Movies in my Movie section:

http://:32400/library/sections/2/all/

Thank you for this.

It helpt me really much.

just by you showing me this i already found out how to see shows/seasons/episodes.

So i'm ready to begin my second step of my software (get all info from Plex)

After i go for step three (compbining thetvdb.rog and plex info)
and last but not least making it look a bit nice :)

And if the need is present i will try after to make it a channel.

Why not use sickbeard? it is a web interface, it allows to list all what you have, can be sorted by number of missing eps in the serie, can download (torrent and newsgroup) and rename automatically, and you can call it with the apps in the UnSupported AppStore...
