This plugin has been developed to offer a modern API for other developers to communicate with the VDR.

The plugin supports the following outputs formats: xml, json and html.

It also supports the following input formats: json and html.

It would not exist without the help of the following people:

  • Klaus Schmidinger: Of course because of the VDR itself. Thank you also for the nice and clean layout for the API-Documentation which I "borrowed" from your PLUGINS.html.
  • Gerald Dachs: Thank you for the intial idea and the initial jsonapi-Plugin.
  • Volker Richert: Thank you for fixing the UTF8-Support.
  • Tommi Mäkitalo: Thank you for implementing the Regex-Support in cxxtools which allows RESTful web services.
  • Holger Schvestka: Thank you for improving the package structure.
  • All other yaVDR-Members who I haven't already mentioned, just because you are who you are and do your best to improve the VDR experience.
  • The developers of the live and vnsisserver Plugins which helped me to learn a lot about the API of VDR.
  • The developers of the live plugin where I borrowed parts of the epgsearch-implementation :-)
  • Daniel Kuschny: Thank you for fixing my broken regular expressions. Will pay you a beer! :-)
  • Keine_Ahnung@vdr-portal for the VDR 1.6 compatibility patch
This document describes the API and how to use it. It contains a lot of examples for the different formats and services but there is still a lot more to discover if you simply try to make a few simple requests.

Someone who wants to install the plugin on his/her VDR needs following applications and libraries:

  • VDR 1.7.18
  • libcxxtools Rev. >= 1231, which is available as package for Ubuntu in the yavdr-PPA's

Someone who wants to develop an application which uses this API:

  • XML or JSON Parser (Depends on which format you want to use! - You can also use the html-format, but that one is more a proof for the restful concept and does not show all information!)
  • URL Decoder or JSON Serializer (to send data to the webservice, required e.g. to create timers, searchtimers etc...) e.g. POSTMan REST Client. There is a wide variety of REST clients available on the web.
Create a new file called plugin.restfulapi.conf in /etc/vdr/plugins/ respectively /etc/vdr/conf.avail (don't forget to create a symlink in /etc/vdr/conf.d/).

Since Version 0.2.2.2 node "vdr" also contains info about the TV-Cards attached to the system

This service can move/delete recordings and can also return all the recordings as a list.

Since Verions 0.2.0 the API returns additional media if a scraper plugin is available. The data is available within leaf additional_media and contains additional information about the event such as actors etc.
Please have a look at the data or the JSDoc Examples to get an idea about the additional structure. Images can be retrieved using ScraperImages service.

Since Version 0.2.5 one can fetch Recordings either by its full file name or by number. It is not safe to use the recording number for e.g. deleting recordings because it is not guaranteed that the numbers don't change during runtime. Hence it is recommended to use the <file_name> as parameter. Due to backwards compatibility reasons the recording number is still supported but may be removed in future versions.
To use the file name as parameter it could be necessary to url encode the path parts.

http://<ip>:<port>/recordings/path/to/videodir/my_recording/YYYY-MM-DD.hh.mm.ss-0.rec.<format>

Since Version 0.2.5 it is also possible to request restfulapi to write a sync file in its cache directory. Simply add the <syncId> parameter with a value of of your choice to the url whithin a request to the full recording list. This sync file can be checked against the current recordings or a list of recordings sent by the client.

Future requests to the /recordings/updates service with the same id can fetch a list of new, deleted or updated recordings since the last full or updates request. Don't forget to add the syncId parameter to delete requests aswell. Restfulapi can than delete it from your clients sync list.

Additionally the /recordings/sync service has been added. You can send an array named recordings with each member containing a comma seperated file_name, hash pair. The hash is a new property of each recording that will be added if the full recording list was requested. Restfulapi will then respond with a list of recordings that have been added, deleted or changed

The updates response contains a list of recordings with a <sync_action> property that contains either add, delete or update.
One can use this feature to store the recordings in a client side database and keep it in sync without requesting the full list every time.

Creating Timers

This service can create new timers.

POST

POST http:/<ip>:<ip>/timers
  • flags - set it to 1 for an active timer
  • file - name of the recording (use an url-encoder for this text if you special characters)
  • stop - the time when the recording should be start - in the 24 hour system, f.e. 2015 means quarter past ten in the evening
  • start - the time when the recording sholud be stoped, f.e. 2230 (half past ten in the evening)
  • day - YYYY-MM-DD, f.e. 2011-12-24 -> christmas :-)
  • channel - ID of the channel
  • weekdays - MTWTFSS, used for repeating timers -> just use '-' if you don't want the timer to run on the specific day
  • minpre, minpost can be used together with a channel and eventid to create a timer without giving the other information to the api
