[QUOTE="Lightning303, post: 997939, member: 97876"] mh, i suppose you are right. Especially for custom categories. But you are able to get the resulting movies for the standard categories with the filter parameter. Let me explain where i am coming from. I want to have a Category list with just the basic categories. All Movies, Unwatched Movies, Genres, Years, Certification. And with these categories i later want to filter my movies by using the filter parameter in GetMoviesBasic. My initial problem was that i couldnt get a list of the Years. All Movies i can do without a categorie. Unwatched is not possible atm, as watched flag is not supported. But i would just filter for watched flag equals 0 or 1. For Genres there is an extra command GetMovieGenres (which aswell does not include the movies for the genres btw.) and later i would filter for the genre i selected. Certification is not supported yet, so i didnt bother. That leaves Years, the filtering itself is again easy, filter=Year^=(first 3 chars from the years e.g. 198). So, me personaly, i only expected ever to get a list of the categories when using GetMovieCategories, like i do with genres when using GetMovieGenres. The filtering itself i would then do with the filter parameter. I also dont need the movies when requesting the categories. This would be the next step, when actually picking one of the categories. Additionaly i dont think it is a good idea to add the resulting movies here. a GetMovieCategories request would result in me getting thousands of results. every movie would be listed in all moves, a lot in unwatched, every movie again in gernes, and ever more then once here, every movie again in years and in certification. So im not sure this is the way to got. But maybe im just naive ;p [/QUOTE]
