Noticed in Eden Beta 3, changing this setting doesn't result in a Player.Repeat update being broadcast.

doozer Wrote:Hi All,

Hoping an expert can weigh in here and tell me if i'm doing something wrong..

I am listing all Genres:

Code:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetGenres", "params": {"properties": ["title"], "limits": { "start" : 0, "end" : 20 }, "sort": { "method" : "label", "order" : "ascending" }}, "id": "AudioLibrary.GetGenres"}

Which results in:

Code:

{"id":"AudioLibrary.GetGenres","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"genres":[{"genreid":6,"label":"Alternative","title":"Alternative"},{"genreid":2,"label":"Hip-Hop","title":"Hip-Hop"},{"genreid":5,"label":"Punk","title":"Punk"},{"genreid":4,"label":"Rock","title":"Rock"},{"genreid":3,"label":"Unknown","title":"Unknown"}],"limits":{"end":5,"start":0,"total":5}}}

Note that the "Alternative" genre has an ID of 6.
I then request all Albums that fit this genre:

Code:

{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.GetAlbums", "params": {"genreid": 6,"properties": ["artist","artistid","albumlabel","year","thumbnail","genre"], "limits": { "start" : 0, "end" : 20 }, "sort": { "method" : "label", "order" : "ascending" }}, "id": "AudioLibrary.GetAlbumsByGenre"}

And get:

Code:

{"id":"AudioLibrary.GetAlbumsByGenre","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"albums":[{"albumid":9,"albumlabel":"WEA","artist":"Green Day","artistid":7,"genre":"Punk","label":"Dookie","thumbnail":"special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Music/d/daca1175.tbn","year":1994},{"albumid":12,"albumlabel":"Reprise","artist":"Green Day","artistid":7,"genre":"Alternative","label":"Warning","thumbnail":"special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Music/2/29036724.tbn","year":2000}],"limits":{"end":2,"start":0,"total":2}}}

Notice how I get one album of genre "Punk" and one of "Alternative". Why?

I was confused at first as well but in general XBMC always operates on songs when using the audiolibrary so what it does when you retrieve all albums of a certain genre is it actually returns all albums which contain at least one song with that genre. So in you're case there should be at least one song in Green Day's Dookie album which has "Alternative" as a genre.
