type parameter required when getting playlist items

[robatosan]

I was trying to get the playlist items with /playlists/:id/items.

Unfortunately the type parameter is required and on top of that limited to only four types ( 1 = movie 2 = show 3 = season 4 = episode).

This makes it impossible to get e.g. audio items (type 8) by either specifying type 8 or leaving out the type parameter entirely.

Hey is this requirement/limitation something you are seeing with the API or an SDK?

[robatosan]

I've used two SDKs now (typescript & java as they come from npm/maven) and both have this restriction - I can see the reason why in the API definition.
I think removing the "required: true" statement in the type parameter definition would do the trick. I don't think it's required anywhere.

Wild guess, but can you pass in type: 0? This should be a workaround. The type is in most cases required but adding audio, and other types should be the larger fix here. Do you happen to know what other types there are? They do seem to be global, such as audio = type 8

Not sure what type: 0 means , but it's not defined as a PlexMediaType and therefore no choice in any of the SDKs I mentioned.

Also when I try it in a request on an audio playlist (/playlists/:id/items?type=0) I get an empty playlist as a result.
Only when I either specify type: 8 or no type at all, I can retrieve the items.
I found this out by trying around, so I have no idea what other types there are :)

@robatosan I have added Audio to the mediatype, it might take a moment for it to be propegated to the various SDK's
