Accessors

hasSonicAnalysis

get hasSonicAnalysis(): boolean
Indicates if the audio item has undergone sonic analysis.

Returns boolean
- Defined in src/audio.ts:109

isFullObject

get isFullObject(): boolean
Retruns True if this is already a full object. A full object means all attributes were populated from the api path representing only this item. For example, the search result for a movie often only contain a portion of the attributes a full object (main url) for that movie would contain.

Returns boolean
Inherited from PartialPlexObject.isFullObject
- Defined in src/base/partialPlexObject.ts:86

listType

get listType(): "audio"
Hardcoded list type for filtering.

Returns "audio"
- Defined in src/audio.ts:34

Methods

addCollection

addCollection(collections: string[]): Promise<void>
Add a collection(s).
Parameters

analyze

analyze(): Promise<void>
Tell Plex Media Server to performs analysis on it this item to gather information. Analysis includes:
- Gather Media Properties: All of the media you add to a Library has properties that are useful to know–whether it's a video file, a music track, or one of your photos (container, codec, resolution, etc).
- Generate Default Artwork: Artwork will automatically be grabbed from a video file. A background image will be pulled out as well as a smaller image to be used for poster/thumbnail type purposes.
- Generate Video Preview Thumbnails: Video preview thumbnails are created, if you have that feature enabled. Video preview thumbnails allow graphical seeking in some Apps. It's also used in the Plex Web App Now Playing screen to show a graphical representation of where playback is. Video preview thumbnails creation is a CPU-intensive process akin to transcoding the file.
- Generate intro video markers: Detects show intros, exposing the 'Skip Intro' button in clients.
