Add recording with Python HTSP api

When i try to add a recording with Python htsp like this:

h=HTSPClient(('10.4.4.8',9982))
h.hello()
h.send("addDvrEntry",{'channelId': 437649270,'start':1438250400,'stop':1438254000,'disp_title':'test'})

I get this debug result:

2015-07-10 09:11:34 DEBUG : htsp tx:

This is how I do it

1. In htsp.py I added a new method
# Create a new DVR entry. Either eventId or channelId, start and stop must be specified def addDvrEntry ( self, args = {} ): self.send('addDvrEntry', args)

2. In the script cereating the DVR entry
# Create a new DVR entry args = {} args['channelId'] = opts.channel args['start'] = opts.start args['stop'] = opts.stop args['creator'] = opts.creator args['priority'] = opts.priority args['title'] = opts.title prio = ['Important', 'High', 'Normal', 'Low', 'Unimportant', 'Not set'] log.info('Add DVR entry "%s" / Priority "%s"' % (args['title'], prio[args['priority']])) htsp.addDvrEntry(args) msg = htsp.recv() if 'id' in msg: print msg['id'] else: print msg['success'] log.info(msg, pretty=True)

Second answer

I guess 'disp_title' should be just 'title' in h.send(...)

The title-field was the problem, now its working.
HTSP documentation says that only cahnnelId, start and stop is required.
But title is required as well.

Thanks for help
