Title: New Feature for WebRemote, WebGizmo and my iPad Remote
Post by: NickF on February 17, 2012, 06:40:07 am

I have built a remote web app for my iPad, based on components of WebRemote.  One thing I would like to be able to do is display Movie info when browsing through Movies.  At present, both WebRemote and WebGizmo only provide a play option (or a Playlist Add).  I feel it would be a good feature for these solutions too.  I want to be able to click an Info button and get a set of info in a new page or, in my case, in a specified div or iframe.  The info would be as displayed in the pop-up in the MC client when you hover over a movie file.

The movie listings are identified by file "keys".  Is there a MCWS call which can provide this movie data?  Also, what is the variable name for the key?  I know, for example, that the variable name for token is [TOKEN] but key doesn't seem to be [KEY] as I expected.

Any help appreciated.

Nick.

So I now know that the data I want is in the XML sidecar file, stored with the video file or files.  The question is how do I find that from the media file listing in WebRemote and WebGizmo?
