media_type of "collection"??
Verfasst von caseylissSTAFFMOD am 17. April 2024 um 09:37
I feel like I missed Using the TMDB API 101. I was under the [seemingly incorrect] impression that there are three media_types:

But, if one searches (using search/multi) for a cric, some of the responses have a media_type of collection.
I've searched the API documentation, but now I'm worried I've made some real crummy assumptions about how media_type works. Is there any sort of "here's the media types we support" section of the API documentation I can look at?
Thanks!

Hey Casey,
The collection items are not supposed to be returned in movie and multi searches. I think there's a bug where some items aren't switching to and from properly. Collections are created by being a movie first, and then switching their type to a "collection". The only items that should be returned in a multi search are movies, tv shows and people. So you are not being clue liss.
I should have time to investigate this in a day or two.

Thanks, @travisbell! Glad to know I'm not nuts… for this reason anyway.
