Hi everybody,

today I've got the pleasure to announce my first plugin for VDR: It's a community project of the yaVDR-Team who've welcomed me in their team some time ago.

But now to the important stuff:

RESTFULAPI - 0.1.0

What does the plugin offer?

* A modern alternative to SVDRP. * Full UTF8-Support. * MultiUser-Support * Different-Output-Formats: Json, Xml and Html * Epgsearch integration * OSD-Support * Epg-Pictures and Channel-Logo Support * and much more...

Are there any Issues?

* No, every known bug has been fixed before this release. But the plugin is huge and we haven't been able to test every tiny detail. * But there is one more thing: The HTML-OSD is ugly, if you have an idea for a better Theme, let us know and I will add it to the plugin. (You only have to create a new osd.css file to change the theme.)

What should I do if I find bugs?

* Collect all information about the plugin you can find: less /var/log/syslog | grep restfulapi Your Request And if possible a stracktrace * Create a bug-report on yaVDR-Redmine: https://bugs.yavdr.com/projects/vdr-restfulapi

Where do I find the API documentation?

* Download the plugin and open the API.html. It also contains a lot of examples.

Where can I download the plugin?

https://github.com/yavdr/vdr-plugin-restfulapi

What do I need to compile the plugin?

* cxxtools rev 1231 or newer (Important!! I has to be really at least rev 1231, older revisions don't work.) * VDR 1.7.18, older versions are not supported

nice regards

Michael
