How get a list of all audio albums? about python-plexapi HOT 8 CLOSED

I think it's an oversight. Audio support is very new and your probably the first person to really dig in. I'll make it work tomorrow.

Cool, thanks for doing all this. No need to rush on my account, I'm just playing around. :-)

I see now that the code is mostly video oriented. I was also hoping to get a client object to "playMedia()" on an audio playlist, but looks like that won't work as implemented. Something to keep in mind!

Fix broken utils.searchType()

Calling searchAlbums() now works as expected.

Some things that still need to be done here:

• Create tests for audio playback.
• Ability to play playlists (or convert a playlist to a playqueue).

from python-plexapi.

Changes look great!

For what it's worth, here are some code snippets that I got to work for playing playlist on client:

Create PlayQueue:

        path = "/playQueues"
        path += "?playlistID={}".format(playlist_id)
        path += "&shuffle=0&type=audio&includeChapters=1&includeRelated=1"    

Start playqueue on client, using response from above:

    playqueue_selected_metadata_item_id = playqueue[u'playQueueSelectedMetadataItemID'] 
    playqueue_id = playqueue[u'playQueueID'] 

    # Tell the client to play the playlist
    url = "http://{}:{}/player/playback/playMedia".format(CLIENT_IP,CLIENT_PORT)
    url += "?key=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F{}".format(playqueue_selected_metadata_item_id)
    url += "&offset=0"
    #url += "&X-Plex-Client-Identifier={}".format(CLIENT_ID)
    url += "&machineIdentifier={}".format(SERVER_ID)
    url += "&address={}".format(server_ip)
    url += "&port={}".format(server_port)
    url += "&protocol=http"
    url += "&containerKey=%2FplayQueues%2F{}%3Fown%3D1%26window%3D200".format(playqueue_id)
    url += "&commandID=2"

Awesome, I should be able to get this in tonight. You're doing all the hard research, I love it!
