JS Api: Why is R.player.playingSource().owner an Object and not a String?

[Trevor]

When calling R.player.playingSource(), the source.player property I get back is an Object that has _command, _configure, _getModule, _handleChange, _infoForReboot, _name, _parent, _setAttribute, _target, bind, off, on, trigger, and unbind members on it. Isn't that just supposed to be a String that is the owner's name (http://www.rdio.com/developers/docs/jsapi/types/ref-js-api-types-playlist)? Specifically, I'm seeing this when my source is one of my playlists.

Cool so I'm seeing that source.owner is now an Object that has "firstName", "icon", "isProtected", "key", "lastName", "type", and "url" members on it. Are there plans to mimic this convention with the data that R.request({method:"get", keys:"p12345"}); returns? It returns "owner", "ownerUrl", "ownerKey" and "ownerKey" String members instead of an Object.

Hi Trevor,

If you request the `ownerObj` extra, you'll be able to get the actual owner object instead of information about it. You can see an example here.

Hope that helps!

Justin

Ah that works. Thanks Justin!
