    Item Types

    Emby has a number of core library item types. The type can be determined by examining the Type property of a Dto. Api consumers can detect these types to customize their displays and/or query for these types individually to create virtual views.

    The following core types are available:

    Audio

    This is an audio file.

    Video

    This is a generic video file.

    Folder

    This is a generic folder.

    Episode, Movie, Trailer, AdultVideo, MusicVideo

    These are specialized representations of Video.

    BoxSet, MusicAlbum, MusicArtist, Season, Series

    These are specialized representations of Folder.

    Game,GameSystem

    Game is a media item and GameSystem is folder containing games.

    Book

    A media item that represents a book.

    Type Detection

    Try to avoid this as much as possible and instead look at the properties of the item to determine your courses of action. This will allow your code to continue to function as new types are added.

    Basic media types are Audio, Video, Game, Book and Photo. Checking item.MediaType is preferred over item.Type when basic media information is all that's needed.
