not possible in v16 i think.

in v17, there's and getMediaType() method you can use.

Grab it from jsonrpc.

This is a snip from one of my shell scripts.

PHP Code:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": [ "showtitle", "streamdetails","title"], "playerid": '"$PlayerId"' }, "id": "VideoGetItem"}' -H 'content-type: application/json; 


That should return a bunch of stuff including a 'type' field which will be of value 'episode', 'movie', 'channel' or 'unknown'.

And without jsonrpc?
