Hi,

I'm adding the current playlist to the MCRemote control at the moment and for that I need to create a virtual list that maintains the items in a list. When an item is visible on the remote it should get these items from MC and as soon as they fall out of sight these items should be dropped.

In order to be able to do this I need to get the list of keys of the currently playing list. I issue the following command:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/Files?playlistType=ID&Playlist=-1&Action=serialize (with Zone information too of course).

When I do this I get an 500 error (page not found). When I issue the same command with an ID of another list like so:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/Files?playlistType=ID&Playlist=291066796&Action=serialize

I get a nice semicolon separated list of keys.

Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Regards
Paul

Hi,

Another related question is:

When I retrieve a playlist with only 1 song in it I get a list with 4 items. Where do the first 3 items come from?

Request:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/Files?playlistType=ID&Playlist=784792637&Action=serialize

Result:
2;1;-1;736

Hi,

I've found out that I can get the 'Playing Now' playlist by using the /Playback/Playlist instead of /Playlist/Files with ID=-1. So that's solved now. The Virtual List works like a charm.

Remains the question about the first 3 entries in the list.

Remains the question about the first 3 entries in the list.

I think it's version, number of items, active index, and then the list of keys.
