How to write my own DVBLink client

DVBLink Server provides DVBLink Remote API - an Application Programming Interface to build thin PVR clients.

The API is programming language independent and based on open http/xml standards. We at DVBLogic use this API to create all of our clients for different platforms - browser interface, Android, IPhone, AppleTV, FireTV etc.

DVBLink Remote API provides the following functionality:

• TV channel list retrieval
• EPG information retrieval
• Recording timers management (scheduling, overview and deleting)
• Live TV playback
• Recordings management and playback
• Recommendation functionality
• SendTo processing

The DVBLink Remote API description is available here.

If you have any questions regarding DVBLink Remote API usage, do no hesitate to post them at our support forums.
