develop macOS app

[gregML]

hi, I am trying my hand at developing a macOS app but I am having trouble to come up with what would be the best practice to display the MPEG-TS stream on, say, an AVKIT Player View. My understanding is that the AVKIT Player View doesn't natively display the MPEG-TS stream. I am sure that I can figure out the rest, but I am having this problem trying to get started with this. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Thanks Greg

Not possible, you can use VLCKit etc

Actually on macOS 15 you could use https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... anguage=_8

hi, I have used your advice, and I have VLC working now. I can manually tune the MPEG-TS stream from the HDHomeRun Flex 4K and display it in an ImageView. I have a DVR sub and I would like to use the 14 days of guide data to advance my project. It is not clear to me how to access the (JSON?) data to construct a menu to select a tuner and schedule recordings. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Greg

Some DVR / recording-rule documentation is here:

Live TV guide API:
https://api.hdhomerun.com/api/guide?DeviceAuth=xxx

Series discover APIs:
https://api.hdhomerun.com/api/up_next?DeviceAuth=xxx

If the user selects a series you can pull the episode information.

Server load:
1) Do not pull live TV guide information when it is getting low. Instead pull guide information at a random interval, suggest every 1.5 to 2 hours if the user leaves the guide visible.
2) The intent is that a user action results in one API. If you find a situation where you need to hit multiple APIs to render a page please let me know and we can consider making changes to the API.
