Issue in Server.getLibrarySections() method

[hunsbct]

I am using this API to build a front-end app to access my Plex media as a programming exercise. I have no issues logging in and collecting the list of servers, but when I select a server to list its libraries, it gets a null response. Here is what I know:

• In GetLibrarySections(), MediaContainer m comes up null
• When the new MediaContainer object is instantiated with the Load() method, var m in Load() comes up null.
• Following the definitions down, public T Execute(RestRequest request, RestClient client) where T : new() returns null because Response.data is null. However, Response.content has a JSON object with valid data.

I am still not great with some of the techniques used here so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Hmm...yea...so forgot everything in this project. I haven't really done any C# since this project 5 years ago (which I ultimately abandoned). I primarily use Java and JavaScript/Node. I was going to use this to build an extension for Windows Media Center, but I had run into some road blocks and couldn't find time to work on it. So I don't really remember anything in here, but looking through some of the commit comments it looks like at the time the plex api responded with XML rather than JSON. So perhaps there is needs to be something changed to deserialize JSON.

I was already thinking I'd need some JSON parsing, so I've been tinkering with that Newtonsoft JSON package. Thanks!

Old thread, I know. I basically demanded that RestSharp use XML instead of JSON, since Plex's API uses XML. There's a method for it if you update the RestSharp NuGet package for this library. https://github.com/brh-media/plexdl is my application.

Interesting, thanks!
