I would like to be able to add functionality to a media-player device to perform a keyword search and display results in the Media Browser
I’ve developed a 3rd part integration for a media player which includes support for media libraries - https://github.com/wizmo2/zidoo-player. Like similar integrations, some library lists can container a large number of return items. A keyword search, typically supported by most oem APIs, would allow users to easily find specific items.
Open to suggestions on how to implement. A simple solution maybe to
- Add a service call to open the Front-end Media Browse Dialog with a custom search_type and search_id requests
- Add a search filter to the existing Media browser, to dynamically filter the item list.
Both solution (AFAICT) would require changes to the core and front-end.
