Title: How to get a album browse id when I only have it's name?
Post by: TMA-1 on April 26, 2012, 01:59:43 am

Im trying to figure out how I can fetch the albums browse id if I only have the album name (witch I get from the currently playing track).
The goal is to get the browse id of the playing album so I can do a "Browse/Files"-request and display the tracks of the album.
Any suggestions?

Are you referring to DLNA?
If so, you can't get the Album ID from the currently playing item since container ID's are dynamic.
You might be able to do a search on it by album name.

With MCWS, you might try Files/Search with [Album]=[ENTER ALBUM NAME HERE].

Sorry, it's MCWS Im refering to. I'll try the search-approach. Thanks.
