Hello,
I've been using the JSON API for some time, since I realized the HTTP API was being phased out.
I am still forced to use a couple older calls and was hoping to remove them completely.
Currently VideoLibrary.Scan doesn't take any parameters, so I can't use it like ExecBuiltIn(UpdateLibrary(video, path) and pass in a path, is this something that is just missing from the documentation, or is it currently unavailable?
Also I see that the Library Auto-Updater has a way to check if a scan is already in progress, so it doesn't kick off a new scan and effectively cancel the already active one. Is there a possibility of this being opened up via the JSON API? I'd love to be able to use this functionality in my app.
Cheers,
Markus
