I've installed the latest, however I still have only have two methods under ManageService.

Odd, I found the opposite, with newa json it includes shows that start at the end time.

Yes I had to modify Routes.cs with the following to get the Post event working too, it doesn't work from /api though. I emailed UJB on this earlier today.

Code:

RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                "GetList",
                "public/ManageService/Get/List",
                new { Controller = "ManageService", Action = "GetList" },
                new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("Post") }
                );

Yea... my bad on the swagger documentation.... I had a bad endpoint.... it should be: /public/ManageService/Get/SortedFilteredList

I'll post an update tonight on the FTP server.... sorry about that.

i posted some web client previews in our forum:

http://mediabrowser3.com/community/index...v/?p=49733

once we finish the last bit of management features we'll move onto playback

Looking good!

I've attempted to switch to the json endpoint for listings, however unlike the web service it only returns a few hours worth of data. is there a way i can get everything like the web service method?

Have you tried putting in a sdate endate set with an unix date for 1/1/2000 and 1/1/3000 I would think that would return all listings

Let me know.

Just put a new update on the FTP server... should correct the manageservice issue.... the swagger doc was wrong as was the method name in the manageservicecontroller class.... swagger doc, routes class and manageservicecontroller class all line up now.

lukemb3, Svekke - looking for your opinions on this....

mvallevand and I are discussing the return objects from the ManageService and the Search Service..... Currently I return a container object named to align to the service the results are coming from - ManageResults & SearchResults - the Array name and objects within the array are the same.

Is it preferable to have the containing object named the same for these (i.e. something like NEWA_REST_Return) or have them separately named as they are currently?

The original thought was independent containing objects allowed for independent updates to those objects (outside of the EPGEvents array containing the epgEventJSONObject (s) without impact to the other Objects.

Your thoughts/opinions on this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

what's an example of sortFilter for SortedFilteredList?

truthfully, from the client perspective i think that's pretty trivial and doesn't really matter. A lot of our list endpoints return objects that use this:

public class QueryResult<T>
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the items.
/// </summary>
/// <value>The items.</value>
public T[] Items { get; set; }

/// <summary>
/// The total number of records available
/// </summary>
/// <value>The total record count.</value>
public int TotalRecordCount { get; set; }

/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="ItemsResult" /> class.
/// </summary>
public QueryResult()
{
Items = new T[] { };
}
}

Some services subclass it to add additional info. But whether you call the result set Items, Results, or something particular to the method, i don't think it really matters.

The only thing I would suggest on the topic of return data is to use natural http response codes as much as you possibly can. In other words, remove the error properties and just have the server throw an error. As it is now clients have to both handle errors and check the error property.

Here's what I use for good recordings. I get results from c# and python but not swagger

Code:

{
  "resultLimit": -1,
  "datetimeSortSeq": 0,
  "channelSortSeq": 2,
  "titleSortSeq": 1,
  "statusSortSeq": 3,
  "datetimeDecending": false,
  "channelDecending": false,
  "titleDecending": false,
  "statusDecending": false,
  "All": true,
  "None": false,
  "Pending": false,
  "InProgress": true,
  "Completed": true,
  "Failed": false,
  "Conflict": false,
  "Recurring": false,
  "Deleted": false,
  "FilterByName": false,
  "NameFilter": null,
  "NameFilterCaseSensative": false
}

ok, thanks. it looks like i'll have to play with all those query filters to get what i need. i need three lists - completed recordings, upcoming recordings (the instances, not the recurring parents), then the recurring parent recordings.

thanks, this worked, although it's stime and etime, and not in swagger.
