Metadata Download - keying off Series & Series_Index
I'm new to plugin writing (and even somewhat to Python though not to programming generally). I'm trying to write a plugin that uses the series and series_index fields to help locate covers/metadata for items. I've been examining the existing examples of metadata plugins, and I haven't seen any that seem to reference those pieces of metadata. It looks like author and title get passed explicitly, but I'm unclear on how I should reference other metadata fields in my code.
Sorry if this is an obvious one. Appreciate the assistance. |

IIRC only title, author and identifiers are passed into metadata plugins for identification, not series and series_index.
