One of these scripts is a maintaining and launching a video playlist via a web app on my iPhone or iPad. This video playlist contains three files, a "please turn off your cell phones" clip, a personalized "welcome to the movies" video clip, and finally, the movie I'm showing that day.

Since I haven't found SageTV playlist editor web app, I rolled my own rudimentary one.

Using the GetMediaFiles sagex api call, I want to get all of my media and display two or three separate lists: TV, DVD's and Blu Rays. The GetMediaFiles sagex api call supports specifying the media content type to be returned by the call:

MediaMask- string specifying what content types to search (i.e. "TM" for TV & Music, 'T'=TV, 'M'=Music, 'V'=Video, 'D'=DVD, 'P'=Pictures, 'B'=BluRay)


It seems though, that my content types are all mixed up in the database containing the master data. When I search, I don't get all my BluRay titles. The same goes for DVD and TV. The only way I could get all my media files to show was use TVDB as my content type and display EVERYTHING in a single drop down.


So, after all that.....does anyone know of a way that I can go in and modify the content types for each of my files in the database so that all of my BluRay's show up with a query for just BluRay's via the GetMediaFiles sagex call?


Thanks for the help! ]]> SageTV v7 Customizations HokiePerogi http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58462
