DeleteRecordingSchedule

Description

Deletes the provided Recording Schedule from the platform.

Returns an array of RecordingSchedule objects, filled with the results and status parameters.

* Mirada comments:

• Clients wanting to cancel (or delete) a recording should have to firstly request a GetAllRecordingSchedules call, in order to retrieve the recordings ID and (in the case of Mirada) the associated lastModified value that must be included in the cancel/delete request. ​This parameter will not be available (GetAllRecordingSchedules will return 0) for some other rPVR backends.
• When cancelling things "in the future" (not started yet), such as individual movies/episodes not started yet, or the cancellation of entire series, the final purpose is to "avoid" the future recording of an event. The RecordingSchedule object would be set to GVP status "Cancelled"
• When cancelling only a thing that is just being recorded at the current moment (at the moment of invoking cancel by the client) the final purpose is to "stop" the ongoing recording (and the status of the schedule, in both Mirada's backend and in the RecordingSchedule object returned to clients, would be set to "finished"​/completed, not "cancelled"). This is the case when cancelling individual events or episodes within series (but NOT cancelling the whole series) AND the event to cancel is just being recorded at this moment.

* Mediaroom comments:

• The Mediaroom API (RemoveRecordingDefinition) method removes a recording definition (the equivalent concept to a RecordingSchedule), and all associated upcoming recordings, from an account's schedule.​ The behavior of the method depends on whether there are recordings already associated with this recording definition:

• If there are no recordings associated with this definition (there are no matching programs in the current EPG data), the recording definition is deleted.
• If recordings have already been made, the existing recordings are kept, but the recording definition's state is set to "cancelled," preventing any future recordings from being made. After all existing recordings have been deleted, the recording definition is automatically deleted.
• If a recording is currently in progress, it is halted. The recording definition's state is also set to "cancelled," preventing future recordings from being made. Again, after all existing recordings have been deleted, the recording definition is automatically deleted.

• In the RecordingSchedule object handled by GVP (returned to clients), the status would be set to the state "Cancelled" ​(as this state includes both "cancelled" and "deleted" schedules that will be the states managed by Mediaroom when invoking RemoveRecordingDefinition)

Parameters

• token (String, required)

A valid token for identifying the API session context and logged user.

• scheduleId (int, required)

schedule Id to be deleted (introduced -and kept for compatability in MiViewTV Phase I; superseded by recordingScheduleId)

• programId (int, required)

Live Program ID

• channelId (int, required)

Live Channel ID (EPGLiveChannelReferenceId; as appearing in EPG file)

• seriesId (int, optional)

ID of the series associated to the schedule. Value will be set to 0 if the program is not a series episode.

• entireSeries (bool, optional (default=false))

Whether delete operation affects a whole series scheduling or not

• recordingScheduleId (string, optional (declared "optional" for backwards compatibility; but needed for correct operation))

ID (string) of the Recording Schedule to be deleted

• lastModified (int, optional (needed for correct operation in Mirada))

Date-time of the last modification of the recording schedule (must be previously obtained from Mirada's backend)

• targetDeviceId (int, optional)

Allows identifying the user's device (STB) on which the application will be applied, in the case that several DVR devices may exist in the household (does not apply to MiView and Mediaroom)
