Hi,

I was trying to create a new song catalog and add a song to it. Problem is, the favorite() doesn't work.

A-ha! So the CatalogItem ID has to be unique and is self-defined, so I managed to do it like this:

final CatalogUpdater updater = new CatalogUpdater();
final CatalogItem item = new CatalogItem("SOEKXNR12A6D4FB78D");
item.set("song_id", "SOEKXNR12A6D4FB78D");
updater.update(item);

B.r., s.

Hi playmedia,

'favorite' isn't actually an action, but you can use the 'update' action with 'favorite' = True to favorite something. I hope this helps.

Yes, thanks Tyler!
