PlayOnAPI.HasTagsClass

PlayOnAPI.TagSetsClass

PlayOnAPI.__getitem__(self, index: tuple | int) -> cs.tagset.HasTags: If index is an int return the associated Recording. Otherwise index should be a tuple, returns the associated HasTags.

PlayOnAPI.__iter__(self): Iteration iterates over the recordins.

PlayOnAPI.account(self): Return account information.

PlayOnAPI.as_contextmanager(self): Run the generator from the cls class specific __enter_exit__ method via self as a context manager.

Example from RunState which subclasses HasThreadState, both of which are ContextManagerMixin subclasses:

class RunState(HasThreadState):
    .....
    def __enter_exit__(self):
        with HasThreadState.as_contextmanager(self):
            ... RunState context manager stuff ...

This runs the HasThreadState context manager around the main RunState context manager.

PlayOnAPI.auth_token: An auth token obtained from the login state.

PlayOnAPI.available(self): Yield the Recordings.

Note that this includes both recorded and queued items.

PlayOnAPI.by_entity_id(entity_id: str) -> cs.tagset.HasTags: Return the HasTags instance corresponding to entity_id from the full tb Raise ValueError is entity_id cannot be parsed by TagSetTyping.type_parts_of. Raise KeyError if there is no UsesTagSets instance for the zone.

PlayOnAPI.cdsurl_data(self, suburl, method='GET', headers=None, **kw): Wrapper for suburl_data using CDS_BASE as the base URL.

PlayOnAPI.download(self, download_id: int, filename=None, *, quiet: bool, runstate: Optional[cs.resources.RunState] = <function uses_runstate.<locals>.<lambda> at 0x10e6c3ce0>, verbose: bool): Download the file with download_id to filename_basis. Return the TagSet for the recording.

The default filename is the basename of the filename from the download. If the filename is supplied with a trailing dot ('.') then the file extension will be taken from the filename of the download URL.

PlayOnAPI.feature(self, feature_id): Return the feature SQLTags instance for feature_id.

PlayOnAPI.featured_image_url(self, feature_name: str): URL of the image for a featured show.

PlayOnAPI.features(self): Fetch the list of featured shows.

PlayOnAPI.fetch_recordings(self, *, verbose=False) -> set[cs.app.playon.Recording]: Return a set of the Recording instances for the available recordings. This makes an API request.

PlayOnAPI.from_playon_date(date_s) -> datetime.datetime: Return a timezone aware datetime from a PlayOn date/time value; The PlayOn API seems to use UTC date strings.

PlayOnAPI.jwt: The JWT token.

PlayOnAPI.login(self): Perform a login, return the resulting dict. Does not update the state of self.

PlayOnAPI.login_expiry: Expiry UNIX time for the login state.

PlayOnAPI.ls(self, recording_specs, *, format: str, long_mode=False): List the specified recordings.

• class PlayOnCommand(cs.cmdutils.BaseCommand): Playon command line implementation.
