emby.apiclient's Issues

Sessions issue: Seek, PlayNow starttimeticks

These two POST calls doesn't seem to work in any of the clients.

AuthenticateUserAsync Security Issue

Hi
I've just checked the method "AuthenticateUserAsync". As far as i can see plain in-hashed password are also posted when authorizing.

args["username"] = Uri.EscapeDataString(username);
args["pw"] = password;

I set the args["pw"] = "" in my project but it needs to be fixed here as well.

Edit: Also for the very same reason if your password includes characters such as "&" then the http post method will fail no matter what.

LoginToEmbyConnect signIn fails

Serialization of the response fails

Exception: Exception thrown: 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' in mscorlib.ni.dll ("Error converting value {null} to type 'System.Boolean'. Path 'User.IsSupporter', line 1, position 262."). Exception thrown: 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' in mscorlib.ni.dll ("Error converting value {null} to type 'System.Boolean'. Path 'User.IsSupporter', line 1, position 262.") 24.16s [112]

GetCriticReviews Not implemented

Getting a error when trying to use the sdk after the latest update..
Method 'GetCriticReviews' in type 'MediaBrowser.ApiInteraction.ApiClient' from assembly 'MediaBrowser.ApiInteraction.Portable, Version=3.0.5075.511, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.

GetSearchHintsAsync seems to ignore the IncludeItemTypes array in SearchQuery

I've already opened this issue in the Emby repository, but probably this is the best place.

As for the title: I'm building a search query via the C# client that looks like this:

SearchQuery searchQuery = new SearchQuery();
searchQuery.UserId = client.CurrentUserId;
searchQuery.IncludeArtists = false;
searchQuery.IncludeGenres = false;
searchQuery.IncludePeople = false;
searchQuery.IncludeStudios = false;
searchQuery.IncludeMedia = true;
searchQuery.SearchTerm = "Iron";
searchQuery.IncludeItemTypes = new string[] { "MusicAlbum" };
searchQuery.Limit = 24;

var res = await client.GetSearchHintsAsync(searchQuery);

But in the SearchHints results I don't only have music albums with the search term "Iron", but also songs.

I'm trying different configurations of the query, also with the ExcludeItemTypes, but I always get items of all types...

Username needs to be encoded

When signing in, the username needs to be UriEncoded otherwise any usernames with & in them will fail to sign in.

Delete Playlist method missing

ApiClient not including Artists when provided

When calling GetItemsAsync and the ItemQuery has the Artists property used, those artists are not being put into the url, so the api returns all albums rather than the ones for the users specified.

NotificationQuery: UserId is GUID, not string

In the NotificationQuery object, the UserId property is a GUID rather than a string, which is what the UserId is everywhere else .

Sessions fields not updating

There are few fields on the /sessions call that are not reflecting the correct values all the time.

The ones I have noticed are
isPaused
NowViewing fields - Name, Id
NowPlaying fields

GetBackdropImageUrls() returning empty list for everything

This method is always returning an empty list, even for items that I know have backdrops.

Are these lines still required in .net standard?

Emby.ApiClient/Emby.ApiClient/Net/HttpWebRequestFactory.cs

Lines 27 to 32 in 227fa9f

	var sp = request.ServicePoint;
	if (_httpBehaviorPropertyInfo == null)
	{
	_httpBehaviorPropertyInfo = sp.GetType().GetProperty("HttpBehaviour", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
	}
	_httpBehaviorPropertyInfo.SetValue(sp, (byte)0, null);

For me, these lines are causing exceptions now that I am using .NET Standard 2.0
I guess the hack doesn't work anymore with the new target. Could we possibly remove them, or implement another workaround if they are still required?

How do I get the URL for playback of an item?

Hello.

I am developing an app using this library. I got Browsing figured out, but after having searched for about an hour through the api, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a stream or url for playback of an item. Can you provide a sample?
Or do I have to build my own url following this (as in there's no built-in functionality in the library): https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/Audio-Streaming

Provide a WORKING Example?

The Example documentation appears to be incomplete and possibly out of date...

Ideally it would be great to have 'sample' projects to pull down or bare minimum if the example code could be copy and paste-able to a working state so that we are able to see the expected output in it's most basic form..?
