Adding History object and history deletion

[blacktwin]

Description

When requesting history the items object would contain a lot of unnecessary attributes. Adding the History object to only use the available attributes from the XML response. I discovered the Plex Dash allows for deleting history so I've added that functionally as well.

To wipe the history from Library 1:

history = server.history(librarySectionID=1)
for item in history:
    item.delete()

Testing is not applicable due to somewhat recent changes to creating history on a Plex server.

History should be using the PlexHistory object (and the subclasses TrackHistory, MovieHistory, and EpisodeHistory). Maybe there's a bug where it's not automatically using those objects.

python-plexapi/plexapi/base.py

Line 1013 in f2310ea

class PlexHistory(object):

Edit: or I misunderstood, you want to remove loading the movie attributes here and infested add them to the base PlexHistory object.

python-plexapi/plexapi/video.py

Line 1251 in f2310ea

Movie._loadData(self, data)

Also side note, I was planning accountID as a parameter into LibrarySection.history() so you can get library history for someone other than the admin account.

No bug. Removing my code and it works as expected. I just didn't look in the correct library👎. Closing.

Is it still worth it to remove the extra attributes?
