Describe the Bug

Hi, I am looping through shows trying to get the paths.

plex_shows = [m for m in plex.library.section('TV Shows').all()]
plex_shows_by_path = {m.locations[0]: m for m in plex_shows}

It is extremely slow. It seems to be querying plex for each item in the location loop. Is there a faster way to do this? I would have thought the data would be pulled from the first line?

    This is expected behaviour.

    The location attribute is not available when querying Plex's /all endpoint using all() and will only return partial objects (you can check with show.isPartialObject() or show.isFullObject()). Objects are automatically reloaded (see reload()) for you when you access a missing attribute which requires querying Plex for the metadata of the individual show.
