How to check, if a movie is in a folder on the share, or not
#1
Hi

I have a ListItem (https://codedocs.xyz/xbmc/xbmc/group__py...titem.html) of a movie and would like to check, if the movie file is in a folder or folder structure below the source's base path or as a file directly in the source's base path. The reason for this is that I would later like to move the movie.

How can I achieve this? Can I get the "importing" source of a movie, it's path, and compare the paths?
Or can I get a list of all the sources with type "movies" and compare to them?
Do I have to check this in the library database?

Any help and hints are very appreciated, thank you

@Montellese or anybody? Wink Any ideas?
Is there a way to get the file sources for the library from Python? Any hint is very appreciated.

AFAIK the python API does not offer any way to get a list of media sources. But IIRC JSON-RPC provides Files.GetSources to get a list of media sources for the provided "media" type which must be one of the following:
  • video
  • music
  • pictures
  • files
  • programs
Always read the online manual (wiki), FAQ (wiki) and search the forum before posting.

Please read the pages on troubleshooting (wiki) and bug reporting (wiki) before reporting issues.

Got it working - thank you so much!
I didn't know about the JSON-RPC API yet. Your input is very much appreciated.
