linq - OData "where ID in list" query

Question

I have an OData service where I'm trying to filter by a list of IDs; the SQL equivalent would be something like:

SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE TableId IN (100, 200, 300, 400)

The property I'm trying to filter on is typed as an Int32. I've tried the following, which gives me an error "Operator 'add' incompatible with operand types 'Edm.String' and 'Edm.Int32'":

string ids = ",100,200,300,400,";
from m in provider.Media where ids.Contains("," + t.media_id + ",")

as well as

string ids = ",100,200,300,400,";
from m in provider.Media where ids.Contains("," + t.media_id.ToString() + ",")

and

string ids = ",100,200,300,400,";
from m in provider.Media where ids.Contains("," + Convert.ToString(t.media_id) + ",")

and

string ids = ",100,200,300,400,";
from m in provider.Media where ids.Contains(string.Concat(",", t.media_id, ","))

As you can see, currently I'm using LINQ to query the service.

Is there a way I can do what I'm trying to, or am I stuck constructing a text filter and using AddQueryOption, and iterating through the list and manually adding "or media_id eq 100" clauses?

With OData 4.01, in statement is supported like this:

http://host/service/Products?$filter=Name in ('Milk', 'Cheese')
