tvheadend api api/dvr/entry/create

Hi there,

I'm trying to program a new recording via the api.

What's wrong with the call?

curl --data "conf={"start":1634615700,"stop":1634619300,"eventId":147038}" "http://user:password@192.168.0.100:9981/api/dvr/entry/create"

I get the error "400 Bad Request"

You will need to supply more information for that function, definitely the channel UUID or channel name and possibly the title (though I can't see in the code where that would be needed).

Alternatively use api/dvr/entry/create_by_event, specifying the config_uuid (recording configuration) and event_id.

i added title and uuid but i get the same error.

api/dvr/entry/create_by_event works.

Have you tried the examples here: https://github.com/dave-p/TVH-API-docs/wiki/Dvr

Here is a simple script to set a timer with a channel name and start and end times

You will need the tvheadend profile name prior to setting the timer (where the recording is to be saved)
