Sure -- the most detailed portion is probably the one to follow.
![]() I would suggest that if you find API docs unclear/inconsistent that you submit it as a bug for further clarification. - Andy

Seems to me that if ever there was a time when it's OK to break existing plugins, this is it. I would venture to guess that virtually all V7 plugins are under active development, and very few of them abandoned and their authors MIA, simply because V7 and its plugin system are so new. So the danger of broken plugins staying broken very long is fairly small right now, I should think.
A couple of years from now that might not be the case. So if there are any other APIs you want to change in ways that might break plugins, best to do it sooner rather than later.

Maybe this is what you mean? I found old emails (~2006) talking about stripping the relative path off the episode value in order to get a shorter pathless title, then later GetMediaTitle() was changed at some point to simply return the episode value for imported videos, but GetShowTitle() always returned the relative path, as far as I know. If so, yes: this is the stuff we are looking to fix. - Andy

I guess the point is, I think most people would accept a little short term pain to get rid of the inconsistency between videos and recordings. I also support GKusnick's comments. Now is the time, while V7 plugins are mostly still under active development. Another target for change could be the use of GetShowTitle and GetShowEpisode for music. It's always struck me as a little odd that there is an Album api that doesn't include some form of GetTrackName and that you need to use the Show api for music. At least I can follow the logic for how GetShowTitle and GetShowEpisode are used for music as opposed to how they're used for videos. John |

Andy, when you know what version number the changes are going to be in can you give us a heads up. I'm taking this opportunity to merge a couple of plugins while I'm making the changes, so I'll set a MaxVersion in the existing plugins.

Good timing; I was looking at posting info about this today.
![]() For imported videos and photos, the title field will now be the title. The episode field will match the title, unless it has been set via metadata. Existing imported files will be updated automatically by SageTV so that the title field is no longer the relative path - it can detect when the title is the relative path, so the title won't be changed if it isn't the rel path. Imported music files are handled the same as before. I'm currently updating the STVs provided by SageTV. Saved online video files probably won't get updated because I found a bug in the way their relative paths were being set by the STV, which has now been fixed. - Andy
