One last try... Does anyone know how to check (programatically) if a<br>
client (like Kodi) is streaming content via the API?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

you can do a HTTP GET to /Dvr/GetEncoderList. There is a Program object<br>
that indicates what the input is currently doing. You can determine from<br>
the as well if it is recording or watching live TV.<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I am running a combined mythbackend / mythfrontend in my living room...<br>
I have a couple of Kodi clients on other hosts (like tablets). If I<br>
understand correctly, Kodi uses the API to gain access to the recordings.<br>
<br>
Is there a way that I can query the API to find out if there are any<br>
clients currently watching content via the API?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Marc<br>

Thanks Daniel... I just tried that and the response from that API is the<br>
same whether or not a client is playing something... am I using it wrong?<br>
<br>
I am calling it like this:<br>
curl <a href="http://localhost:6544/Dvr/GetEncoderList" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://localhost:6544/Dvr/GetE<wbr>ncoderList</a> | xmllint --format -<br>
<br>

If by clients you mean the frontend, then the following, but if you're<br>
referring to something else that's doing Content/GetFile?FileName=xxx,<br>
then I don't know of an answer.<br>
<br>
Dvr/Frontend/GetStatus (on port 6547)<br>
<br>
An idle frontend returns:<br>
<br>
{<br>
"FrontendStatus": {<br>
"AudioTracks": {},<br>
"ChapterTimes": [],<br>
"Name": "ofc0",<br>
"State": {<br>
"currentlocation": "playbackbox",<br>
"menutheme": "defaultmenu",<br>
"state": "idle"<br>
},<br>
"SubtitleTracks": {},<br>
"Version": "v29-pre-307-g0a46103-dirty"<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
If actively viewing, there are some 50ish lines of output<br>
and, of course, the state: changes to WatchingLiveTV.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
