Sonos Itemtype and item content for list of podcasts and episodes - sonos

Question

We have several podcasts, each with multiple episodes. Which itemtype should we return for the podcasts and episodes and which type should the item be?
We currently use itemtype.collection for the list of podcasts and episodes and each episode has itemtype.stream and the item is then set to streamMetadata.
This does however not allow for scrubbing.
Podcast:
var mediaData = new mediaCollection()
{
id = string.Format({0}:{1}:{2}",Prefix, moodId, moodItem.Id),
title = moodItem.Id,
itemType = itemType.collection,
onDemand = true,
liveNow = false,
language = "Norwegian",
liveNowSpecified = false,
albumArtURI = new albumArtUrl() { Value = moodItem.ImageUri.ToString(), requiresAuthentication = false, requiresAuthenticationSpecified = false}
};
Episode:
return new mediaMetadata
{
id = string.Format("{0}:{1}:{2}:{3}", Prefix, moodId, podcast.Id, episode.Publishdate.Ticks.ToString()),
title = episode.Title,
itemType = itemType.stream,
mimeType = "audio/mpeg",
onDemand = true,
onDemandSpecified = true,
language = "Norwegian",
Item = new streamMetadata()
{
currentShow = episode.Title,
logo = new albumArtUrl { Value = podcast.ImageUri.ToString(), requiresAuthentication = false, requiresAuthenticationSpecified = true },
currentHost = "Someone",
}
};

Your getMetadataResponse for podcasts should be of itemType track and should include canResume true. Check out this page for specific information and examples.
