API Get LiveTV Recordings always returns 0

[Grimdahl 0]

I am using the API to see if there are any live TV shows being recorded as part of a PowerShell script, but it is always returning zero.  I get the same response whether there is nothing being recorded or if multiple shows are actively recording.

 

The PowerShell line is essentially this:

Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "http://localhost:8096/emby/LiveTv/Recordings?api_key=<token>"

 

And the response is always this:

{
"Items": [],
"TotalRecordCount": 0
}

 

I am running this locally on the server and remote access is disabled.  If I perform an execute of this command via Swagger, I get the same response.  I have tried multiple arguments as well, but no change.

 

If I run other similar API commands in the LiveTV subset, such as Channels or TunerHosts, I am getting responses with appropriate information so it smells like an issue with the Recordings command.  Is there an argument that is required but isn't flagged as such?  Is anyone using this and getting accurate responses?

Hi, try adding a userId param.

[PenkethBoy 2066]

i do the same and use this

$MediaUrl = $EmbyServerUrl + "/emby/LiveTv/Recordings?UserId=" + $user.User.Id + "&IsInProgress=true" + "&api_key=" + $user.AccessToken    
$Media = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $MediaUrl -Method Get

$Media = $Media.Content | ConvertFrom-Json

        if ($Media.Items.Count -eq 0) .... then no Active Recordings

That did it - thank you both.

 

@@Luke - I recommend flagging UserId as a required parameter in the documentation if possible.

 

@@PenkethBoy - I appreciate the additional content you provided there as well!

Thanks for the feedback. We'll take a look at that.
