xs:boolean MakeOverride
 +
</pre>
 +
 +
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"

GetRecorded

The GetRecorded API takes the following arguments:

ChanId (Required)
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:

GetRecordSchedule

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: [[1]] for additional information.
