I am trying to understand how the DVR determines the exact airing instance that will be recorded.
For a series recording rule, the guide data can contain multiple airings of the same episode. For example:
Grantchester on Masterpiece
S11E08
- Aug 2 9:00 PM - Channel 30.1
- Aug 3 5:00 PM - Channel 30.1
- Aug 3 2:00 AM - Channel 30.1
The HDHomeRun app shows a red recording indicator next to the specific airings that are scheduled to record. I would like to retrieve that same information through an API.
I can retrieve:
- Series information from recorded_files.json
- Episode listings from:
https://api.hdhomerun.com/api/episodes? ... &SeriesID=...
- Upcoming recordings from:
https://api.hdhomerun.com/api/upcoming_ ... eviceAuth=...
However, I have not found an API response that identifies the actual selected airing instance (ProgramID + StartTime + ChannelNumber) that the DVR has scheduled.
The episode API returns fields like:
- ProgramID
- StartTime
- RecordingRule
- RecordingRuleExt (RecordIfNotRecorded / RecordDuplicate)
but those appear to indicate that the episode matches a rule, not which specific airing will be recorded.
Is there a DVR endpoint or API call that exposes the scheduled recording instances before they occur?
Ideally I am looking for something equivalent to:
{
"ProgramID": "EP025199990078",
"ChannelNumber": "30.1",
"StartTime": 1785718800,
"Status": "Scheduled"
}
The goal is to display the same information as the HDHomeRun app: show the actual scheduled airing, and when selected, show the other possible airings with the scheduled one marked.
Thanks
