NextPVR web API for scheduling - DayMask

[sub]

A timeslot recording basically looks for a show with the same name that starts within the timeslot (which by default is +/- 90 minutes o the original start time). The intention of this time slot was basically record a show that typically airs at the same time each week, but can deal with slight variances to the time (like airing an hour late some time etc)

Yes that's what I thought. I think a missing piece for me in Emby is for channels like Hallmark (we don't get it here in Canada - no loss) that show made for TV moves movies every Sunday night but the name changes. To avoid confusion I just took out that option for movies in Emby because it would need to be a manual recording.

I'm not even sure how NextPVR would name these shows so I have do some testing.

Sub, I had a check with your v5 logs for web server episode request and notice that you care getting a token to get the art. Reading the API

Retrieving JSON index based on programID

The available image artwork index is retrieved by using the following URL:

POST https://json.schedulesdirect.org/2014120.../programs/

Token: Not Required

That would shave off a second

That'll only happen on the first call. Any subsequent calls wont get the token.

I'm in the middle of some changes that'll help with artwork speed. Should have a build for you to try later.

Ok I see that now, but i think you can bypass the first call just by using the first 10 characters of the unique_id

Code:

2019-06-19 14:18:17.343    [DEBUG][43]    SD using existing token
2019-06-19 14:18:17.343    [DEBUG][43]    DoPOSTRequest(https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/xref, 1edcd733ceb72a65cd18c9835891ffbf)
["SH017609090000"]
2019-06-19 14:18:17.344    [DEBUG][43]    token header: 1edcd733ceb72a65cd18c9835891ffbf
2019-06-19 14:18:17.771    [DEBUG][43]    DoPOSTRequest(https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/metadata/programs/, 1edcd733ceb72a65cd18c9835891ffbf)
["SH01760909"]

I confirmed the token isn't required with curl

Code:

curl -tlsv1.2 --ssl-no-revoke --request  POST --data [\"SH01760909\"]  https://json.schedulesdirect.org/20141201/metadata/programs/

Is there a specific API call to update the individual recording created by a recurring recording.

You should be able to treat it the same as a one-off. Just make sure you’re specifying the recurring id.

Let me know if you encounter any issues doing that though.

Thanks, I'll take the problem off line.
