Epiphan recording

[ceddix]

Hi, 

I have a customer that want to start and stop recording from a http request, and even feedback. 

Got these url from the manager,

Code:

Start recording   http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=on



Stop recording;  http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=off





Feedback that shows if it on or off :    http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/get_params.cgi?publish_enabled=on 

I want to have a button that turn on/off the recording and a feedback object. 

Code:

require('socket.http')
socket.http.TIMEOUT = 15
value = event.getvalue()
if value == false then
   socket.http.request('http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=off')
else value == true then
   socket.http.request('http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=on')
end

Is is the right way to do it? 

How can i get feedback to a 1bit object that shows 1 or 0?

Event script can be simplified a bit:

Code:

http = require('socket.http')

value = event.getvalue()
param = value and 'on' or 'off'

http.TIMEOUT = 15
http.request('http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/set_params.cgi?publish_enabled=' .. param)

You will need a resident script for polling the status (with non-zero sleep time):

Code:

http = require('socket.http')
http.TIMEOUT = 15
res = http.request('http://192.168.0.5/admin/channel1/get_params.cgi')
log(res)

Post what you get in LM Logs tabs when running this script.
