[REQ] Expose remote view configuration via an MCWS api
« on: January 05, 2024, 07:45:51 am »

related to https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,137764.msg955383.html#new

if this configuration were accessible via an API call, it would provide a simple way to understand the content type of each node in the browse tree

e.g. MCWS/v1/Library/BrowseConfiguration and return some structure like

Code: [Select]
audio:
  - composer:
      - artist
      - album
      - track
  - artist:
      - album
      - track

(or anything easy to parse that gives the above info)

I'd love this too.

I could allow opening / expanding a tree view by unambiguous substring matching.  Useful for UserInterface/Show.

I'll add MCWS/v1/Browse/Rules today.  It returns a snapshot of the current browse tree.  Thanks for the help.

I had mistakenly thought this Browse call was related to Standard View's tree.

Would it be possible to create an MCWS call that would return the items and sub-items in the tree?

This would allow me to determine the list of valid tree paths, for use with UserInterface/Show, thus allowing smart abbreviated names, or detection of incorrect names.

Sure, I'll add a Type parameter and you can specify "Tree" or "DLNA".

The Tree param is working well, thank you.
