This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
ovos-media-provider-news
This is an OVOS MediaProvider plugin for broadcast news feeds. It replaces the
deprecated OCP search skill ovos-skill-news.
The deprecated skill broadcast ovos.common_play.query over the bus and waited for
skills to answer. The OCP pipeline now loads MediaProvider plugins in-process, gates
them by routing, and calls search() directly.
This plugin ships a curated News.json catalog (feed name, uri, aliases, language,
and world-vs-local flag). It scores each feed against the query title, request
language, and region, and returns
mediavocab.Release objects.
Feed URIs keep their original extractor prefix (rss//…, news//…,
youtube.channel.live//…), so the OCP playback layer resolves them exactly as the
deprecated skill did.
Install
pip install ovos-media-provider-news
Usage
The OCP pipeline discovers the plugin through its entry point and calls search()
with the parsed query signals:
from ovos_media_provider_news import NewsMediaProvider
from mediavocab import Signals
provider = NewsMediaProvider()
results = provider.search(Signals(title="play the news"), lang="en-us")
A bare NEWS request with no title browses the catalog, and each language's default feed floats to the top. The call returns an empty list on failure.
