What is this?

Outsourced python code of tvheadend to create a reusable HTSP client library for python.

Goals

  • some improvements regarding HTSP communication between a python HTSPClient and an TVHeadend instance
  • understanding the powerful TVHeadend API
  • example script files

Installation

Install from source:

cd ~/src/
git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/python-htspclient

Install virtualenv:

virtualenv htsp
cd htsp
bin/activate
source bin/activate
pip install -e ~/src/python-htspclient/

Setup

Before you start, enter your server settings (hostname, username, password) in scripts/__init__.py file or create a config.json file inside your venv folder to avoid changing the scripts/__init__.py file after each update:

import json
with open('config.json', 'w') as cfile:
    CONFIG = {'hostname': 'myhostname', 'username': 'mysuername', 'password': 'mypassword'}
    json.dump(CONFIG, cfile)
    cfile.close()

Examples

scripts/merge_channels.py

A small demonstration of the api to create a merged channel:

  • Lookup the channels by entering the name
  • select the channels you want to merge
  • enter the name and channel number of the new merged channel
  • optional: disable old channels

Usage

In your htsp virtualenv run:

python ~/src/python-htspclient/scripts/merge_channels.py

scripts/map_channelnumbers.py

Update channelnumbers based on a list:

  • List item can be
    • a str with the channel name, i.e. "Channel 123" or
    • a list with 2 items ["channel query", "service query"]
    • use the "EXACT"-Flag to match exact names

Usage

First, edit the channel list in map_channelnumbers.py!

Your current settings will be overridden.

In your htsp virtualenv run:

python ~/src/python-htspclient/scripts/map_channelnumbers.py
