tvprogram adapter for ioBroker

This adapter polls information about the television program at regular intervals. The data can be displayed in various widgets.

To set it up, the adapter must have already accessed and filled the necessary data. Due to its size, the data is not stored in data points but in files (Linux path: /opt/iobroker/data-files/tvprogram) and in the adapter's memory. In the configuration, the widget only needs to be filled with any data point of the adapter (e.g.cmd). The widget searches for all remaining data points automatically.

Installation

The adapter can be installed via the stable or for testing verions via beta/latest repository.

Adapter Configuration

You can configure how much different TVs, or at least different configurations you will have.

Widgets

Widgets are supported only in modern browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari). Not supported Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge without Chromium (Version <79).

Time

This widget shows the current TV program on a timeline by TV channel.

If the text behind the channel logos shows through, a background color must be selected in the widget. it is generally a good approach to choose an explicit foreground and background color for the view or at least for the widget. The Marker position ist updated every 15 seconds.

If something goes wrong after installation and the widget isnt diplayed correctly, please try the following command from shell:

functions not implemented in the Adapter, but provides as scripts for the javascript-adapter

Recordlist

List of all current recording times recorded by the recording data point and updated every minute. You have to configure the data point name of your RecorderList and the name of the data point to be observed. As soon as the script has added the recording to the list, the record data point is emptied.

// datapoint where the List should be saved
var recorderListDP = "0_userdata.0.tvprogram.RecorderList";
// datapoint who should be monitored of new data
var recorderDP = "tvprogram.0.tv1.record";

on(recorderDP, function (obj) {
  var recorderList;
  var index;
  console.log(obj.state.val);
  try {
    var recObj = JSON.parse(obj.state.val);
  } catch {
    return;
  }
  var s = getState(recorderListDP).val;
  s = s == "" ? (s = "[]") : s;
  recorderList = JSON.parse(s) || [];
  index = recorderList.findIndex(function (el) {
    return JSON.stringify(el) == JSON.stringify(recObj);
  });
  if (index > -1) {
    recorderList.splice(index, 1);
  }
  recorderList.push(recObj);
  setState(recorderListDP, JSON.stringify(recorderList));
  setState(recorderDP, "");
});
var timer = setInterval(function () {
  var recorderList;
  var s = getState(recorderListDP).val;
  s = s == "" ? (s = "[]") : s;
  recorderList = JSON.parse(s) || [];
  recorderList = recorderList.filter((el) => new Date(el.endTime) > new Date());
  setState(recorderListDP, JSON.stringify(recorderList));
}, 1000 * 60);

To visualize this data, the widget JSON template from the adapter myTime can help with the following template. Enter as json_oid the datapoint with the recordlist and as json_template the following code:

<% data.sort((a,b)=>new Date(a.startTime) - new Date(b.startTime)) %>
<table>
    <th>Datum</th>
    <th>Start</th>
    <th>Ende</th>
    <th>Titel</th>
<% for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++) {%>
<tr>
<td><%- new Date(data[i].startTime).toLocaleDateString() %>%></td>
<td><%- new Date(data[i].startTime).toLocaleTimeString() %></td>
<td><%- new Date(data[i].endTime).toLocaleTimeString() %></td>
<td><%- data[i].channelname %></td>
<td><%- data[i].title %></td>
</tr>
<% } %>
</table>

Favorite broadcast at the moment

The following script determines once a minute whether a favorite program is currently running.

// Favorites datapoint of your tv
var favoritesDP = "tvprogram.0.tv1.favorites";
// channelfilter datapoint of your tv
var channelfilterDP = "tvprogram.0.tv1.channelfilter";
// datapoint where the result should be saved
var favoritesBool = "0_userdata.0.tvprogram.favoriteNow";

var timer = setInterval(function () {
  var favorites = JSON.parse(getState(favoritesDP).val);
  var channelfilter = JSON.parse(getState(channelfilterDP).val);
  sendTo("tvprogram.0", "getServerBroadcastNow", channelfilter, (data) => {
    setState(
      favoritesBool,
      data.some((el) => favorites.includes(el.events[0].title)),
    );
  });
}, 1000 * 60);

Coloring of programs that are located in the recordlist data point in the widget tvprogram

the following template is for the widget JSON template from the adapter rssfeed. this template does not generate any visible output, but generates css instructions that color the current programs. it also colors the record button in the detailed view.

to use this template, please select the recordlist datapoint in the widget properties json_oid and insert the following template in json_template

<%
  // Insert the IDs of your tvprogram widget IDs
  var widgetArray = ["w00001","w00002"];
  recorderList = data || [];
%>
  <style>
<%
  recorderList.map( (rec) => {
        widgetArray.map( (widget) => {
%>
            #<%= widget %> .broadcastelement[data-eventid="<%= rec.eventid %>"] {
                 background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.1);
            }
            #<%= widget %>broadcastdlg .event-container.tv-dlg-row[data-eventid="<%= rec.eventid %>"] .record  {
                color: red;
            }
<%      });
    }); %>
  </style>

Todo

widget tvprogram:

• maybe a highlight broadcasts widget
• Data adapter for other sources (Internet, hardware such as Enigma, VU-Box). Considerations on this are currently suspended due to the low demand
• improve documentation for configuring the widgets
• broadcast pictures if available in the main view of the time widget
• search through the whole text to also find directors and actors
• tooltips for the buttons in the time widget
• Ideas for further widgets based on the existing TV program script
• Problem: endless scroll in firefox
• to be discussed: Datenpunkt, mit allen Aufnahmedaten, should be implementet at a videorecorder adapter or in a seperate script
• responsive design for detail view->no responsive design possible for jquery dialog, found another solution with fixed layouts for height>width
• Problem: small Pixel glitch if scroll pane is completle on the left side
