getList('MediaList') not returning all media on Enterprise

Hi,

Have been working on a simple extension to replace a widget now they have been depreciated, as part of it i want to allow developers to pick from the In App Media list for pictures to be inserted into the extension.

When i built this on QS Desktop it worked fine and returned both the default and in app contents:

var app = qlik.currApp();
app.getList('MediaList').then(function(model) {

console.log(model);
});

on QS desktop both in app and default images:

but when on the server only the default media library stuff seems to come through:

Just wondering if there is some other/better way to get the URL for medialist entries, or a way to specify the in-app library only from GetList() whilst on Enterprise?

Cheers and merry xmas etc.

Dale

Are you sure the in app images are there on the server??

Hi Erik,

I'm presuming so, i can add them as Icons for sheets and the main app or add them into the text and image control:

I did wonder if it was because that app was duplicated back to my work area but I've tried creating a brand new app and adding some images into that but still no joy. Will try creating a separate media library in QMC rather than trying to access the In App one later today and see if that works.

thanks,

Dale

Adding a QMC managed library still didn't work but could get around my issue by using the media component type as a property (badged as experimental and says that it doesnt work for In app media in the docs but it appears to work for now - may need to move the media to a central library now i think on it but at least i have a way forward)

Custom media properties ‒ Qlik Sense for developers

probably should have read through the docs more carefully, apologies
