Channel Group API call

[zaphod24]

In addition to running MythTV 0.27 on a backend server and an Atom/Nvidia front end, I also use XBMC/KODI on a raspberry PI. The mythtv pvr plugin recently changed from logging into mysql and looking at the mythtv tables to using the services API, which I think is a good thing. Unfortunately, the services API appears to lack any calls that would bring back channel groups and which channels are in them. Are there any plans to add such a call to the services API? For the time being, I've had to duplicate my "favorites" channel group again manually in KODI.

Hi,
I don't see a direct way either, but the following 2 give the information
you want, and lots more (tested on 0.28-pre, not 0.27):

<backend>:6544/Guide/GetChannelGroupList
<backend>:6544/Guide/GetProgramGuide?StartTime=2014-11-22T00:00:00&EndTime=2014-11-22T00:00:01&ChannelGroupId=<x>

The EndTime makes the assumption that all members of the Channel Group are on-the-air,
so you may need to make it later.

Thanks for the info. The GetChannelGroupList call doesn't appear to exist in 0.27. The only endpoints under guide are GetChannelIcon, GetProgramDetails and GetProgramGuide. Perhaps it will all work better together when 0.28 is officially out.
