[QUOTE="McGoober, post: 821013, member: 24098"] I'm developing a UPNP DLNA plugin. I need to expose to the connecting device some form of unique id so that the device and the plugin can keep track of where in the media tree the device is. I was thinking of doing this with the media item ID (GUID). This way I know what the child items are by calling library.Browse, but the other thing the device could ask for is "give me more information about this item", and for that I need to turn a media item guid back into a MediaItem object. Example... So the connecting device might say, give me all items from the root node, and I return.. var library = ServiceRegistration.Get<IMediaLibrary>(); var shares = library.GetShares(null); var result = from share in shares select library.LoadItem(share.Value.SystemId, share.Value.BaseResourcePath, necessaryMiaTypes, null).MediaItemId; The connecting device might then say, give me more information about item: 466bc397-d646-4f3d-bca6-0de2e7ce38ae I want to load the media item to get a MediaItem object again. Guid mediaItemGuid = new Guid("466bc397-d646-4f3d-bca6-0de2e7ce38ae"); var library = ServiceRegistration.Get<IMediaLibrary>(); var item = library.[I]GetMediaItem[/I](mediaItemGuid, necessaryMIATypeIDs, optionalMIATypeIDs); I hope that makes more sense :) The device could return me any media item and would be of any aspect.
