A library section (commonly referred to as just a library) is a collection of media. Libraries are typed, and depending on their type provide either a flat or a hierarchical view of the media. For example, a music library has an artist > albums > tracks structure, whereas a movie library is flat.
Libraries have features beyond just being a collection of media; for starters, they include information about supported types, filters and sorts. This allows a client to provide a rich interface around the media (e.g. allow sorting movies by release year).

This endpoint provides comprehensive details about the library, focusing on organizational aspects rather than the content itself.
The details include:
Organized into three categories:
-
Primary Directories:
- Used in some clients for quick access to media subsets (e.g., "All", "On Deck").
- Most can be replicated via media queries.
- Customizable by users.
-
Secondary Directories:
- Marked with
secondary="1"
. - Used in older clients for structured navigation.
- Marked with
-
Special Directories:
- Includes a "By Folder" entry for filesystem-based browsing.
- Contains an obsolete
search="1"
entry for on-the-fly search dialog creation.
Each type in the library comes with a set of filters and sorts, aiding in building dynamic media controls:
-
Type Object Attributes:
key
: Endpoint for the media list of this type.type
: Metadata type (if standard Plex type).title
: Title for this content type (e.g., "Movies").
-
Filter Objects:
- Subset of the media query language.
- Attributes include
filter
(name),filterType
(data type),key
(endpoint for value range), andtitle
.
-
Sort Objects:
- Description of sort fields.
- Attributes include
defaultDirection
(asc/desc),descKey
andkey
(sort parameters), andtitle
.
Note: Filters and sorts are optional; without them, no filtering controls are rendered.
