NEWA Web Services

[psycik]

Want to play with something, where is teh class file that is used when making the live call. I'd like to try changing to Content-Length to Content-length.

Only NEWA source is available. The server-side XBMC and http interfaces from sub are closed source but I expect you could make that change with a binary editor.

Yeah, unfortunately that stuff all in the core application so the source isn't available.

If you're running the current pre-release, I can provide a patch for you to see if it helps. It is already using the "Content-Length" though, which is the standard header name for HTTP.

Code:

// send HTTP response header                    
                    string responseHeader = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" +
                                            "Server: NextPVR\r\n" +
                                            "Connection: Close\r\n" +
                                            "Content-Length: " + contentLength + "\r\n" +
                                            "Content-Type: video/MP2T\r\n\r\n";

Yes nextpvr is using Content-Length. I'm trying to find out if plex is after that or if its a case varian of that Content-length for example

I tried the transcode and was getting the same problem. And I can't call the local file with plex either. Kinda painful.

If Plex isn't using case-insensitive matching on header fields then it's broken. HTTP header fields are case-insensitive.

thats my uneducated guess. All I know is plex is reporting invalid content length - but also I seems to be going the wrong place. I've got someone looking at it there as well.

So I've had some success finally:

Is there an equivalent call to the http://<ip>:8866/live&recording=<oid> for live tv, ie activating a tuner? Its not supposed ot work but I may as well give it a try.

[psycik]

Oh and martin, I may need to pick your brains regarding dealing with the web services for listing recordings....my python is pretty limited.

Yes, http://<server>:8866/live?channel=2

The python source in x-newa should show you everything you need. The raw interface is easier and I'm moving some calls to it

Code:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
        import datetime
        url = "http://ip:8866/services?method=recording.list&filter=Ready&sid=xnewa"
        import urllib2
        request = urllib2.Request(url, headers={"Accept" : "application/xml"})
        u = urllib2.urlopen(request)
        tree = ET.parse(u)
        root = tree.getroot()
        for recording in root.find('recordings'):
            print recording.find('id').text
            print recording.find('epg_event_oid').text
            print recording.find('name').text.encode('utf-8')
            print recording.find('status').text.encode('utf-8')
            print datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(float(recording.find('start_time_ticks').text))
