How to use MediaQueryBuilder to retrieve a item by filename? #181

Closed franknesse closed 4 years ago

franknesse commented 4 years ago

I would like to query for media items by file name. I have tried using the Filter property of the MediaQueryBuilder in several ways, but in all cases it looks like the filter is not applied. Presumably because I am using the wrong syntax or trying to do something which is technically impossible. I have googled for some Filter examples but so far no hits.

Below is my code (which returns the very first item in the media gallery, despite what filter I apply)

var queryBuilder = new MediaQueryBuilder();
queryBuilder.PerPage = 1;
queryBuilder.Page = 1;
queryBuilder.Filter = $"file={fileName}";               
var media = await client.Media.Query(queryBuilder);

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance!

Solved. In the meantime I found out that what I want I can do by setting the Search property of the quierybuilder to the filename:

var queryBuilder = new MediaQueryBuilder();
queryBuilder.PerPage = 1;
queryBuilder.Page = 1;
queryBuilder.MediaType = MediaQueryType.Image;              
queryBuilder.Search = fileName;             
var media = await client.Media.Query(queryBuilder);
