Which fields are available as parameters for Videos.GetMovies? - jbrennan - 2010-06-14

I'm using the jsonrpc api to pull down all the movies from XBMC, but I can't figure out what's available to me. Using JSONRPC.Introspect I can see "plot" as a possible field parameter, but what else can I pull down?

Ideally I'm looking for a way to find genre, duration, cast, year and possibly a few others. Are these documented anywhere?

You can find most information in this file :

Here's what I am using so far....

Code:
var obj = {
        jsonrpc: "2.0",
        method: "VideoLibrary.GetMovies",
        params: {
                fields: [
                "genre",
                "director",
                "trailer",
                "tagline",
                "plot",
                "plotoutline",
                "title",
                "originaltitle",
                "lastplayed",
                "season",
                "runtime",
                "year",
                "playcount",
                "rating",
                "file"
            ]
        },
        id: 1
    };

Cheers,
Kabooga

Thanks so much to both of you! It kind of sucks that the only "documentation" is "read the sourcecode" but I appreciate the help (I'd be lost otherwise!)!!

Feel free to start documenting it in that case. We'd be greatly appreciative as I'm sure many others will be.
