Broken with recent Plex version

[daguej]

Running against PMS 1.4.1.3362, immediately after instantiating a new PlexControl:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'filter' of undefined

Was working prior to upgrading Plex.

I'm guessing it is related to the new format introduced in Plex v1.3: #75

I've got the same, running Version 1.5.4.3596.
Any progress on this? :)

EDIT: Noticed it only happened when using client.find("/") for me, using query works fine.

Having the same issue. Always results in the same error whatever I try to do with plex-control. I am using Plex 1.6.1.3722

Hi
think the api doesn´t work, because nobody close this issue?
Using plex-media-server 1.9.3.4290

[phillipj]

@Eisbaeeer I'd assume you're correct. Mostly because of me that obviously doesn't find the time to prioritise working on it.

That said, anyone who's willing to contribute are more than welcome.

use client.query directly

const movieSectionURL = "/library/sections/1/all" ;

client.query(movieSectionURL).then(function (result) {
    //console.log( result.MediaContainer );
    const {
        Metadata
    } = result.MediaContainer;

    // Metadata.map(item => {
    //     console.log(item)
    //     console.log('---------------------------------')
    // });

    console.log(Metadata[0].Media[0])

}, function (err) {
    console.error("Could not connect to server", err);
});

prints:

node-plex-api/lib/api.js

Line 144 in 3cd51ab

return filterChildrenByCriterias(result._children, criterias);

Change to this :

result._children = result._children || result.MediaContainer.Directory; 
return filterChildrenByCriterias(result._children, criterias);

PS.- Will only work for all those keys in Directory...

With #92 merged, this should be improved quite a lot.

Don't hesitate reporting more still-failing queries, if you've got the response from the Plex Media Server as well, that would be extremely helpful.
