README

This is a PHP library for communicating with and controlling tvheadend instances. So far it is quite limited, it only supports the features I've needed myself so far. It is built on a generic framework where each class represents a model in tvheadend, e.g. a network, a mux, a channel and so on. The library communicates with tvheadend using a HTTP client. The client can be overridden if necessary.

The library also includes a base class for creating CLI commands that perform specific tasks against tvheadend. To utilize it, simply include this library in your project and extend the Jalle19\tvheadend\cli\TvheadendCommand class. The base command provides a way to request switches and flags from the user, as well as asking for input.

Installation

composer require jalle19/php-tvheadend

Example usage (library)

require_once('/path/to/vendor/autoload.php');
use Jalle19\tvheadend;

// Create a new instance
$tvheadend = new tvheadend\Tvheadend('localhost', 9981);

// Create an IPTV network
$network = new tvheadend\model\network\IptvNetwork();
$network->networkname = 'Test network';
$network->max_streams = 5;

try {
  $tvheadend->createNetwork($network);
}
catch (tvheadend\exception\RequestFailedException $e) {
  die('Failed to create network');
}

// Loop through all networks and print their respective names
foreach ($tvheadend->getNetworks as $network)
  echo $network->networkname.PHP_EOL;

Example usage (command)

// let's call this file command.php
require_once(__DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php');
new Jalle19\tvheadend\cli\TvheadendCommand();

Output when run using php command.php:
