Note that the ProgramFlags are listed here: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmyth/programtypeflags.h#L37

GetRecorded

The GetRecorded API takes the following arguments:

ChanId (Required)Note that the ProgramFlags are listed here: https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmyth/programtypeflags.h#L37
Parameter Type: Integer
The database channel id for the guide item.
StartTime (Required)
Parameter Type: String
The recording start time for the item. This should be in MySQL ISO format, eg: 2011-08-29 18:59:00. You can replace the space with %20 or T.

From 0.28 or service version 6.0 you may use the recording ID instead of ChanId/StartTime:

RecordedId (Optionally Required)
Parameter Type: Integer
The database recordedid for the recording.

Example Query:

http://BackendServerIP:6544/Dvr/GetRecorded?StartTime=2011-10-03T19:00:00&ChanId=2066

NB It would appear that the StartTime parameter is not the scheduled time of a program but the time the recording actually started; typically a few minutes earlier. This required value is found in <StartTS> as returned by GetRecordedList and not <StartTime>.


Example Return:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

AddRecordedCredits

The AddRecordedCredits API takes the following arguments:

RecordedId (Required)
Parameter Type: Integer
The Recorded id for the recorded program to add the credits to.
The Post body of the message needs to contain the json list of credits to add in the same format of CastMembers returned by the GetRecording API call

Example Query:

http://BackendServerIP:6544/Dvr/AddRecordedCredits?RecordedId=2066

The query needs Content-Type: application/json when passing a json body

To test using curl:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" "http://rocinante:6744/Dvr/AddRecordedCredits?RecordedId=24"
 -d '
** INSERT POST BODY HERE **
'

Post body:

{
  "CastMembers": [
    {
      "Name": "Alan Davies",
      "CharacterName": "Jonathan Creek",
      "Role": "actor",
      "TranslatedRole": "Actors"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Caroline Quentin",
      "CharacterName": "Maddy Magellan",
      "Role": "actor",
      "TranslatedRole": "Actors"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Julia Sawalha",
      "CharacterName": "Carla Borrego",
      "Role": "actor",
      "TranslatedRole": "Actors"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Stuart Milligan",
      "CharacterName": "Adam Klaus",
      "Role": "actor",
      "TranslatedRole": "Actors"
    }
  ]
}

AddRecordedProgram

The AddRecordedProgram API requires a POST body containing the same json format returned by GetRecording:

{
  "Program": {
    "StartTime": "2021-04-12T04:00:00Z",
    "EndTime": "2021-04-12T05:00:00Z",

GetRecordSchedule

AddRecordSchedule

UpdateRecordSchedule

The GetRecordSchedule API takes the following arguments:

Old Style

RecordId (Required)
Parameter Type: Integer
The Recording rule ID for the rule to be looked up.

New Style

Returns:	RecRule		
Parameters:
	xs:unsignedInt	RecordId	
	xs:string	Template	
	xs:int	        ChanId	
	xs:dateTime	StartTime	
	xs:boolean	MakeOverride

GetRecordSchedule() provides rules suitable for later calls to AddRecordSchedule() and UpdateRecordSchedule(). When given a valid RecordId, GetRecordSchedule() returns that rule. When given a Template name, GetRecordSchedule() returns an empty rule initialized with that template. When given a ChanId and StartTime, GetRecordSchedule() returns the rule for that program or a new one if no rule currently exists. If the MakeOverride parameter is true, the returned rule for the program will converted to an override rule if needed.

Clients should always call GetRecordSchedule() with the appropriate parameters before modifying the rule and then calling AddRecordSchedule() or UpdateRecordSchedule(). In this way, clients do not need to know all of the details on how to initialize rules or update them for specific programs.

When feeding a new RecRule into AddRecordSchedule() you'll need to set the Station parameter equal to CallSign and modify the Type parameter to something beside "Not Recording"

See this commit: [[2]] for additional information. Also see https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Recording_Status for a discussion on recording Status and type.
