A comma-separated list of item types that your client supports besides the default track type. Valid types are: track and episode.<br/> Note: This parameter was introduced to allow existing clients to maintain their current behaviour and might be deprecated in the future.<br/> In addition to providing this parameter, make sure that your client properly handles cases of new types in the future by checking against the type field of each object.
