This was already present on Photo: cf56d9a, should other attributes like librarySectionID, librarySectionKey be added as well? Is the comment "(local playlist item only)" correct? valuable?

Also: What about tagline, titleSort?

librarySectionTitle is already on the base Video and Audio object.

https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi/blob/master/plexapi%2Faudio.py#L74

Do those not work in playlists?

[glensc]

I know librarySectionTitle works on Video items (Movie and Episode), the others I copied to be alike #1335

[glensc]

Ok, misread, I see what you mean, Episode and Movie extend from Video class, so yes. they should work.

Github mobile app doesn't do permalinks.

There is one problem, while assigning librarySectionTitle via Video class works, for remote items None is assigned, and accessing None triggers reload. and that reload is made to wrong server (local server)....

I've used such trickery for now:

librarySectionTitle = p.librarySectionTitle if p.__dict__.get("librarySectionTitle") is not None else None

or (easier to the eye)

librarySectionTitle = p._data.attrib.get("librarySectionTitle")

Now that you bring it up, any action on a playlist item from a different server will fail (i.e. editing, playing, etc.) because of the incorrect _server object. I think the proper way to fix this (and your other related comment) is to fix it at a much lower level by setting the correct _server for the playlist object when they are built. I don't know how to do that yet, but I will think about it.

[glensc]

yes. removeItems fails with 404 errors, as it loads from wrong server.

[glensc]

building a proper _server may be difficult, as it requires URL and token. or are they available from myPlex?
