21.0.87 (6/3/2016)

1. Fixed: The chapter returned by MCWS/v1/Playback/Info would always be zero.

THANK YOU !!

Any chance (whilst we're at it) to further "upgrade" the playback/info function if possible??

A. Additional field returned : <Item Name="Chapter Name">(...)</Item> => the same string as shown by the OSD ??

B. a new function which instead of the playback/info's returned <Item Name="ImageURL">MCWS/v1/File/GetImage?File=75788</Item> would just return the thumbnail image of any currently now playing file ?

You just call File/GetImage with Type=Thumbnail to get the thumbnail.  And you can specify ThumbnailSize to dial it in more.

am i not supposed to specify the file key in the file/getimage?

I'm still figuring out what all the parameters in the function can do...so...Sorry..don't want to waste your time...

Parameters:
            File: The key of the file. (default: -1)

does this mean a parameter -1 = generally for "now playing" stuff ?

with the right file key it works perfectly of course but not with -1

Thanks for all

Just call:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Info?Zone=-1

It has:
<Item Name="FileKey">2906803</Item>

In other words that's the key of the playing file.

OK

yes I know... I was in fact wondering if I can get to the thumbnail of a now playing file with a single MCWS function call.

A two step process is also fine of course but bit more cumbersome to have it integrated on my remotes.

Thanks Matt
