Stremio Add-on Server / Client

## Meta Get

This is used when opening an item's detail page (e.g. double click from Discover). The result has to contain properties like ``episodes``, ``uploads`` and ``cast``, so this is especially useful to show ``series`` and ``channel`` types. 

```javascript
var addon = new Stremio.Server({
	"meta.get": function(args, callback, user) {
		// expects one meta element (requested by ID)
	}
});
```

### Request

_otherwise known as `args` in the above code_

```javascript
{
  query: {
    basic_id: 'opa2135' // based on what you set as "id" in the previous responses
  }
}
```

See [Meta Request](meta.request.md) for Parameters.

### Response

```javascript
{
  id: 'basic_id:opa2135',                                       // unique ID for the media, will be returned as "basic_id" in the request object later
  name: 'basic title',                                          // title of media
