VDR plugin development

[domenic 33]

One more update, I was playing with Jacks build and could not get the Setup Screen to display?  Not certain what is up with that.  In any case I updated my own version with support for display of timers, display and play back of Recordings...

 

See Attached.

 

I also updated the GIT, the code is a bit of a mess, but functional.  There is much cleanup to be done.

Hi, 

 

I have a question how I to send a "DELETE" request via the IHttpClient that is injected in the plugin.

At the moment I implemented the DELETE with the System.Net.Http.HttpClient DeleteAsync(url) method, but I would prefer using the injected IHttpClient.

 

I tried it with IHttpClients SendAsync method:

var options = new HttpRequestOptions()
{                
    CancellationToken = cancellationToken,
    Url = url
};

using (var stream = await _httpClient.SendAsync(options, "DELETE").ConfigureAwait(false))
{
...
}

Any suggestions @@Luke, or should I create a new thread.

 

Regards,

Jack

What you're doing is correct

[Jack187 5]

Thx! It's working now. I think in my first tries there was something wrong with the url.

 

One next question. When a recording gets deleted, there isn't a refresh. Shouldn't there be a refresh on recordings?

 

Edit:

I commited the changes to GIT and attached the new dll.

Please use the delete function with caution (in my environment it seems to be working)

 

 

Regards,

Jack

Deleted how? using Emby or using another vdr client?

[Jack187 5]

Deleted via emby. After delete, the recording is still displayed and a reload is necessary.

[Luke 40070]

what about just a refresh of the page?

[Jack187 5]

Yes, as I already wrote. After an maunally triggered refresh the item disappears. But for this cool and modern UI an automatic refresh/remove of the deleted recording would be cool. I know it's not a big deal. It's just nice to have ;-)

[Luke 40070]

It does do that. The question is, when does the delete take place. When your delete method returns, has the delete completed? If the answer is no, then that would explain why you're seeing this.

Hello everyone. I now have the plugin installed and liveTV but recording does not. What is this and which information you need.

I can not record when I click on record

As the plugin is still in development, I do not believe this functionality been coded yet.

Domenic is right. Not implemented yet. At the moment I don't have much time, but I will continue on this.

[pvcminator 0]

Yes OK, I am happy if it works and I can record.

Not sure, if that has been highlighted already in this post somewhere else...

In LiveTv.Vdr.xml I needed to change the IP-address of the resfulapi and streamdev-server manually:

 

  <VDR_RestfulApi_BaseUrl>http://YOUR-IP:8002</VDR_RestfulApi_BaseUrl>
  <VDR_HttpStream_BaseUrl>http://YOUR-IP:3000</VDR_HttpStream_BaseUrl>

 

The path of this file is:

/var/lib/emby-server/plugins/configurations

 

Nice work !

Cheers

Hi!

 

I'm a new Emby user. I tried this plugin but it does not appear on the plugin list.. Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

 

There is this line on the Emby log:

 

2017-11-28 17:46:32.811 Info App: Loading LiveTv.Vdr, Version=1.0.6247.41086, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

So it does detect and "load" it? But that's the only VDR-related thing in the log.

[Luke 40070]

Please attach the complete emby server log. Thanks.

[Zuikkis 2]

Oh, thanks for the prompt reply. Here it is attached.

 

(edit, now really attached)

Try installing the latest compatible version from the plugin catalog. If there isn't one then the developer will need to release a compatibility update:

Thanks.

[Zuikkis 2]

Ah, thanks, I figured it must be something like that.

 

This plugin is still in development, so it's not listed in the catalog.

 

Jack187 still developing this? Maybe you could do the update?

 

Source is in github though, maybe I'll see if I can setup the build environment..
