Querying movie items by movieid.
Background:
- I've got a set of movie items that don't show up on VideoLibrary.GetMovies (because they are in a movie set), but lets say i know their movieids. I've tried hard but i couldn't find a way to get movie details for these via JSON.
- Since the movieid is the leading / unique identifier it would simply make sense (imho) to be able to query items by id. I know this can be done by sorting and start / end filtering, but: To know the items position in the list, i need to query the whole list first (if i'm not mistaken?) - and: Who guaranties the the items position didn't change between the initial list query and the filtered query?
Keep up the good work!
I'm planning to add a way to query movie/music infos by id soon, as topfs seems very busy right now. Indeed, json announcements will take an id as parameter, allowing the recever to query informations about the announcements (ie, OnNewSong will pass the id of the new song added to the db, etc.)
I just need to find some free time to do it and have a talk with topfs before too
