api code version

[PhilB]

I see that remove recorded is deprecated in favour of delete recording as from version 2.1 of the api code and there is a further change at version 6.
How can a program determine which version is in use in order to issue the right call?
Can it be determined from (myth) <version> or <Protover>
Regards
Phil

The version information is present in the xsdl for each endpoint, although I've just noticed that it could be made more machine readable.

Sorry Stuart, would you expand on that please?
Do you mean the first line of an api call eg to get channel list?

<ChannelInfoList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" serializerVersion="1.1">

Is my version 1.1?
Thanks
Phil

No, I mean http://{backend_ip}:6544/Dvr/wsdl http://{backend_ip}:6544/Guide/wsdl etc

If you look at the raw xml (/Dvr/wsdl?raw=1), down the bottom you have the following:

Code: Select all

<service name="DvrServices">
<documentation>Interface Version 6.1 -</documentation>
<port name="BasicHttpBinding_Dvr" binding="tns:BasicHttpBinding_Dvr">
<soap:address location="http://192.168.159.2:6544/Dvr"/>
</port>
</service>

The "Interface Version" is the number you are looking for.

That's great. Thanks for the prompt reply.
I see that the page also lists available api calls.
