This doesn't work yet: currently we have no "Episode" item, they are regular "VideoItems". That's why they doesn't contain series names etc.

Maybe I was not completely right:
How do you load your media items? If you include SeriesAspect as required aspect, you will have access to all series properties (Name, Season, Episode number...).

I guess code says more than 1000 words
https://github.com/FreakyJ/MediaPor...s/WSS/stream/Images/GetArtworkResized.cs#L136

Maybe a log example:

GetArtworkResized: no fanart found - fanArtMediaType: Series, fanartType: Banner, name: Pilot

This was requested by the client, "Pilot" is the Title from the Episode taken from the SeriesAspect. used fanArtMediaType and fanartType as in the quote

This is what I've meant:
https://github.com/FreakyJ/MediaPor.../stream/Images/GetArtworkResized.cs#L130-L131
Episode itself won't have own Fanart, it will have a thumbnail
If you like to get the series poster (or cover, fanart...) you will need to use SeriesAspect.ATTR_SERIESNAME as name

So if I use FanArtConstants.FanArtType.Thumbnail for episodes + Aspects[SeriesAspect.ASPECT_ID][SeriesAspect.ATTR_EPISODENAME] it will give me an image?

 

[FreakyJ]

What to use for: FanArtConstants.FanArtMediaType ?

 

[FreakyJ]

I also don't get an image for this:

if (item.Aspects.ContainsKey(SeriesAspect.ASPECT_ID))
      {
        name = (string)item.Aspects[SeriesAspect.ASPECT_ID][SeriesAspect.ATTR_EPISODENAME];
        fanArtMediaType = FanArtConstants.FanArtMediaType.Undefined;
        fanartType = FanArtConstants.FanArtType.Thumbnail;
      }

If an episode doesn't have a thumbnail, that's fine, but than I would like to get a thumbnail. Poster for Series and Season is working. Only the Episode is the problem...

 

[morpheus_xx]

but than I would like to get a thumbnail

For thumbnail only, pass the MediaItemID as "Name" only

 

[FreakyJ]

That worked Thank you very much

@morpheus_xx
Could you tell me how to start playing a playlist?
I can start a media item by calling PlayItemsModel.PlayItem(items[0]); is there a similar way for Playlists?

Once it is playing I can do all sort of fancy stuff by using ServiceRegistration.Get<IPlayerContextManager>().CurrentPlayerContext.Playlist, but how to get the playlist playing?
